Button functIons
ALL BUTTONS ARE ILLUMINATED FOR NIGHTTIME USE.
The
constellation
Mode Button will allow you to tour many well-known constellations, and will
give you basic information about each, including tips for finding and navigating by them, as well as
specific information about special stars or other objects located within them.
The
Mythology
Mode Button will allow you to hear about ancient stories and myths revealing why
the constellations are depicted and named as they are.
The
amazing facts
Mode Button provides mind-boggling information related to each constellation,
including distance to stars, size, and other other interesting information.
The
Planets
Mode Button will give you a guided tour of the planets.
Note:
To get the most out of the Sky Tour (for example the Constellation tour), listen to the entire set
of information, and then change over to another mode. Anytime that you switch to another mode,
you will hear more information, but may miss some from the previous mode unless you continue
selecting next to hear more until the information begins to be repeated.
pressing any mode button more than once sequentially will advance you to the next tour object in
that mode.
The handset will power itself off after a certain length of time to conserve battery life. However, the
illuminated mount and red dot finderscope must be turned off manually.
