Hibernation
The hibernation mode offers the possibility to use the telescope several nights in a row, while
switching off the power supply during the day. It ensures that the alignment will be conserved.
However during hibernation, it is not allowed to move the telescope at all. The following steps are
necessary to put the telescope into hibernation:
press the MENU button1.
select HILBERNATE from the UTILITES menu2.
move the telescope to the desired park position3.
switch off the telescope4.
disconnect the power supply and arrange for weatherproof cover (Important: do not move the5.
telescope anymore!)
Wake up:
reconnect the power supply1.
switch on the telescope2.
confirm Wake up with ENTER3.
confirm the time and the location4.
The telescope is ready for the next observation!5.
