Keypad Update Menu
This feature allows updates of the Keypad object database when they are available in the future. It also will allow you to
set your Keypad back to all of the factory default values resetting all of your entered location data and settings. You will not
need to go into this menu during the normal use of your mount. If you enter this screen by mistake, press the menu button
to exit.
There are two parts of the Keypad rmware. One controls the actual program function/features which sends commands to
the mount, i.e. the CPx control box. The version number (v4.19.3) is briey seen upon power up.
The second controls the object databases (R.A./Dec. coordinates, magnitudes, constellations). It is to be noted that
the internal Keypad battery’s function is to maintain the database. When the battery fails (average 5–6 years), then the
database will need to be downloaded and reinstalled.
If you press “1=Reset Keypad”, your personal settings (location, time, time zone, daylight savings, R.A. and Dec. backlash)
will all be set to the default zero values. This may be useful if you purchase a used mount and wish to set the parameters
yourself.
