What Celestron should say is “Before powering up the hand controller, the mount needs to be positioned so that the index marks are aligned on both the right ascension and declination axes”. If the hand controller is power up before the index marks are aligned the hand controller will accept that as the home position.

Hmmm. Interesting Anthony! Generally I align the marks prior to powering up as you suggest, even though the program prompts suggest you can align the marks after powering up... if you are right you might have shed some light on the one or two times my drive has done some screwy things!
Thanks,
