With the telescope powered on, use the hand
control directional slew buttons (the arrow keys)
to move the scope up, down, left, or right. The
altitude axis (up & down) also has a slip clutch that
you can move by hand at any time. The azimuth
axis (left and right) does not. Forcing the scope
left and right without using the hand control can
result in damage to the gears.
