Post Alignment, Software and Stupidity

Howdy all..
I am VERY new to this game.. I have just purchased a Nexstar 114SLT with GoTo.
I have purchased the required RS Cable to connect the Scope to my Laptop.
I have updated the firmware of the device to the lasted version as well as having updated to the latest version of Nexstar Observers list.
I have entered the Lat/Lon for Perth in the Setup of Nextsar Ob List (Although I am unsure whether it should West/North/East/South for Lat/Long).
I have aligned the scope using solar system alignment using the moon. Now when I choose a object for the scope to 'slew' to IE: NGC 936. and click 'goto'
The goto handset says: 'Slew Limit Warning - Change Slew Limit in Scope Setup'.
The thing is I have not touched these settings (Min Slew is +00 Max is 65) why cant the scope accept the command to slew to this object if it has been aligned correctly?
In fact any object I choose the Goto Handset comes up and says the same error.
My apologies for the stupidity of this question.. But I am tearing my hair out! any help greatly appreciated..

David
