EQ6 Problems.

OK, last time I took my EQ6 Pro mount out bush, I did an alignment on it, using a 2 star alignment. This isn't the first time it has asked for star number three, then failed when I said no. Even when I said yes, it pointed in completely the wrong direction! I'm talking pointing at the ground and stuff.

So, How do I completely reset it and start again from scratch?

Hi Bloodhound,

If it's anything like the EQ3 Synscan hand controller I believe there is an option in the Utility menu to do a full factory reset. This should be what your looking for.

I had a similar issue with my hand controller (not quite pointing at the ground but well off target) and for the life of me could not work out the issue so did the reset and all came back normal again.

I think it may be the PAE settings getting a bit stuffed up but I am not sure. As soon as I can power it up I will find the exact menu location for you.

Hope this helps?

Cheers

Anthony

Hi Bloodhound,

Just powered the hand controller on, it is in the following location:
setup menu
Factory Setting (Enter)
1) Yes 2) No

Once you press 1 it will flash up clearing data (or something like that and go back to the factory settings menu.

P.S. I assume you haven't accidentally set the position ot time wrong? Such ???'??" W and ??'??" N in the Enter Location Menu? Just to rule out the simple things??

Cheers

Anthony
