4.2) Use of the ATC-02 with the hand pad
The hand pad is connected to the ATC-02 via a male-male RJ-45 cable. The cable fits also the
"PC" port on the ATC-02, but there is no risk of damage if you make a mistake. If you plug the
hand pad cable in the "PC" connector or vice-versa, the hand pad (or the PC connection) will
simply not work. Use the correct connector!
As soon as you power up the ATC-02, the hand pad will briefly show the firmware revision. This
information will be useful if you contact
Officina Stellare
customer service. After the firmware
revision, you will see briefly the serial number, telescope model and owner information, written in
the memory of the scope following your order. Finally, the hand pad will start to "cycle" between
five different screens.
The first three lines of the display will continue to cycle between the five "screens". The user will
interact only with the last line.
