You must have a reticle eyepiece. An illuminated 12.5mm one can be had for about $69. All you do is get to the stage where the scope is tracking. Go into PEC training function, select the motor speed you want [depends on the field of view of your scope], centre a star in the reticle eyepiece, defocus the star so it is the size of the square in the centre of the eyepiece where the reticles cross, start the PEC function, and keep the star precisely filling the square using the right and left motor buttons until the mount tells you to stop. This training result will be retained for future sessions if you park the telescope before switching it off. If you switch off without parking the scope you will have to go through the procedure again next time you use the scope. Ignore any drift in Dec during the procedure, it obviously only deals with R.A.
As I said before, you really need to download the Synscan user manual.
Unfortunately a red dot finder cannot be used. You need the magnification
provided by a 12.5mm reticle EP, better still used with a barlow. It is simple, it takes about 15mins[2 revolutions of the drive gear].
