6.1. Maintenance
Do not overload the mount. Do not drop the mount as this will damage the mount and / or
permanently degrade GOTO performance and tracking accuracy. Use a wet cloth to clean the mount and
hand controller. Do not use solvent.
The real time clock battery in the hand controller needs be replaced if it can’t keep the time after
powering off the mount.

Remove the HC battery as well.
