NexStar Operation

HC-10 NEXSTAR

Tether Connection

If a tether connection is wanted (or necessary), connect one end of the cable that is supplied (Part 

Number: 366823427) to the crane tether connection (located in either the crane box, or on the crane 

itself), and the other to the tether connection located on the top of the remote.

If the tether connection is properly established, a cable icon will replace the transmitter icon on the main 

screen.

FM radio transmission/reception is disabled when remote is tethered to crane.
