Computerized Hand Control
You have received a newly upgraded NexStar+ hand control with your telescope. The hand control now features a USB
connector used for linking to a PC with control software, and to perform firmware updates. This is a drop-in replacement
for all existing telescopes that accept the NexStar+ Hand Control with RS-232 Connector.
Update hand control firmware over USB without external power or without connecting to the mount. To update the firmware,
simply plug a mini USB cable (not included) from your PC to the port on the bottom of the hand control, and run
Celestron Firmware Manager (CFM), available for free from the support section on Celestron.com.
