page 54 of the same manual on the LNT that needs to be done after changing batteries. It is my unerstanding that during the calibration you don't need to point to Sigma Octans just the correct declination elevation and due south should suffice. from memory the last time I did mine was in broad daylight in the lounge room.
You may also want to research what, if any, significant bugs existed in your firmware version, I've tried at least half a dozen builds, each had their own problems, it's really a matter of finding a build with the least amount of bugs for your needs.
