Well done,
I've found documentation with these scopes to be very limited. For instance nowhere in the set-up procedure manual do they tell you the clock doesn't start until you finish entering the date 4 screens alter.
Nowhere do they tell you with a equatorial goto mount that only the goto - not the tracking (RA + Dec motors), corrects for your cone (polar alignment) errors. Why after a 3 star align when they know all your pointing errors they don't fix it I don't know.
Finally if you want to align to adjust said error - it forces you do do it on the faintest, most undistinguished star in the night sky - Polar Australias in Sigma Octans, rather than any really bright star at all - which seems the dumbest of the lot to me. They know your pointing error but won't slew to say Antares, then after say 20 seconds slew past it to show your pointing errors, and allow you to manually correct both axes on said really bight star.
Daft!
