AZ-EQ6 Home position in AltAz mode?

The instruction manual says to point the ota to North for AltAz mode Home Position. ( Does not offer an option for hemisphere )
In EQ mode it says North for Northern hemisphere and South for Southern hemisphere.
So my question is, do I really point it North in AltAz mode when in the Southern hemisphere? Page7 para 2.1 of the Synscan instruction manual.
Hopefuly setting it up outside for the first time tomorrow night.
I will only be using AltAz mode. Strictly visual!
Any advice will be much appreciated.

Michael.

PS This could be the first of many questions
