Download the manual and it will be in there. I forget which 2 buttons you hold down, I think its the top 2.
Chuck Faranda has a Temma 2 driver as well. That is the one I used to use.

A lot of mounts are northern hemisphere-centric and its happened to me several times. Some of the better ones have a physical switch for northern or southern hemisphere.
I just found a Temma manual for the EM200 (same controller). Look at page 29. It looks like you need to reverse the drives using the hand controller.

Boy, what a crappy manual. Its all Northern Hemisphere oriented. You could always call Claude in Adelaide.

Thanks, you also did that. It doesn't work 100% time. That is one of my issue here.
Also, as I want the mount to be remote controlled, the thought of going outside to press the button everything something happens cause me grief and anxiety.
Do you have any other ways to bypass it? Get a new controller that has the switch? Would that help?
Claude, hahah.... He sidetracks too much on phone, but I might give him a call later on when I throw my hands on the air.
