Hibernate - Hibernate allows the CPC to be completely powered down and still retain its alignment when turned back
on. This not only saves power, but is ideal for those that have their telescopes permanently mounted or leave their
telescope in one location for long periods of time. To place your telescope in Hibernate mode:
1. Select Hibernate from the Utility Menu.
2. Move the telescope to a desire position and press ENTER.
3. Power off the telescope. Remember to never move your telescope manually while in Hibernate mode.
Once the telescope is powered on again the display will read Wake Up. After pressing Enter you have the option of
scrolling through the time/site information to confirm the current setting. Press ENTER to wake up the telescope.
Pressing UNDO at the Wake Up screen allows you to explore many of the features of the hand control without waking the
telescope up from hibernate mode. To wake up the telescope after UNDO has been pressed, select Hibernate from the
Utility menu and press ENTER. Do not use the direction buttons to move the telescope while in hibernate mode.

the Sun Menu from the Utilities Menu and press ENTER.
