NexStar Operation
* Although the power switch maybe in the “On” position, it does not necessarily mean that there is
communication between the remote and the crane. The remote goes to sleep after a certain amount of
time. If the remote goes to sleep, it can be “woken up” by depressing the trigger, or moving either joystick
in any direction.
