Don't know about the G2, setting dials to 00
.
With the G1 you start from the counterweight down position as close as you can to the pole, GOTO Bright Star, use the HC to place that star in the X hairs/ CCD camera view press Align, then, GOTO Bright Star, center with the HC then press Additional Align for as many stars as it takes, you watch the A & E numbers, they will be large for the first couple of additional aligns then get smaller as you build the Pointing Model.
Can't imagine the G2 to be much different from that......
Stand corrected if it is.
