properly.
3.
Make sure the software settings are correct.

See “USB Hubs and USB Extenders ” on page 167.

Make sure the Three Position Switches in both right ascension and
declination are in the Track position (page 73).
The Paramount emits
continuous, successive,
high-pitch “beeps” shortly
after startup and will not
slew.
Check that the balance knobs are adjusted properly. If the
balance knobs are too tight, then the worm is forced against
the gear, and the mount will not slew.
Check the mount balance in both axes. If the Paramount stalls
