SNAP PORT AND CAMERA REMOTE
The Star Adventurer GTi is equipped with the ability to control most cameras
that have a remote trigger port.
To connect to the SNAP port, you will need to purchase a shuttle release
cable (sold separately). Connect the 2.5mm jack into port marked on fig. 8a.
Connect the other end of the cable to your cameras remote trigger port. Each
camera will differ in the type of connectors that it utilizes. In some cases, an
adapter from USB to 2.5mm shutter release convert is also required.
With the SynScan Pro app, you will have the option of camera control. Please
refer to the SynScan Pro app manual for more details.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
While your Star Adventurer GTi requires little to no maintenance, there are a
few things to remember that will ensure the longevity of your product.
CARE AND CLEANING
Occasionally, dust and/or moisture may build up on the mount. Special care
should be taken when cleaning any instrument so as not to damage the
components. We recommend wiping the mount down with a dry lint free
cloth. For more stubborn dirt, a damp cloth can also be used.
Do not jam anything or insert any cleaning devices into any of the electronics
ports on the Star Adventurer GTi. This may result in damage to the pins and/
or connectors.
BATTERY COMPARTMENT
Never leave batteries stored inside of the battery compartments for extended
periods of time. Doing so may result in batteries leaking causing corrosion.
If you plan on not using the Star Adventurer GTi for extended periods of
time, remove the batteries and store inside its original box or any protective
packing to prevent dust, dirt and moisture damage to the unit.
Do not force batteries into the compartment tray. Doing so may result in
damage to the compartment causing the mount to not power up. Always
ensure that batteries are installed correctly by referencing the polarity
position of each battery before turning on the unit. Do not install batteries of
the wrong sizes.
GENERAL OPERATION
Always disengage the RA & DEC clutches before moving the mount manually.
Never exceed the rated payload capacity stated. Failure will result in extreme
stress to the motors causing damage.
Always cover the polar scope borehole with the provided polar cover when
not doing a polar alignment. The borehole exposes this interior of the mount
and small objects may fall in if care is not taken. Never insert any object
down the polar scope borehole.
The Star Adventurer GTi contains no user serviceable parts. If you have any
issues, please contact Technical Support.
