As mentioned already you have two options for guiding:
1. Connect the mount to the computer (I assume PHD for guiding) via the ST-4 guide port on the mount and the GPUSB cable.
2. Use EQmod pulse guiding. This requires the mount either to be directly connected (dump the handcontroller) via a EQDir dongle/cable and use a planetarium program (say CdC) to give on-screen controls...
OR
Use the serial update cable which should have come with your mount, connect to the handcontroller, set the controller to PC Direct (Utility menu) and then use EQmod etc. though this connection.
I use both types of EQmod connections and haven't had any issues with my HEQ5/ NEQ6 mounts.
