The SynScan AZ hand control allows direct access to all the motion controls of the telescope and a database with a range of preset objects.
The hand control comes with a dual-line, 16-character display that is backlit for comfortable viewing of telescope information and
scrolling text. To explore the many functions the SynScan AZ has to offer, there are 4 main groups of keys on the hand control (Fig. 36).

Mode Keys:
The mode keys are located near the top, close to the LCD display. They include:
•
ESC key is used to escape from a certain command or to go back a level in the menu tree
• SETUP key is a quick hot key that takes you to the Setup submenu
• ENTER key is used to select the functions and submenu in the menu tree and to confirm certain functional operations
Directional Keys:
The directional keys allow complete telescope control at almost any step in SynScan’s operation. These controls are locked out when the
telescope is slewing to an object. They are normally used to initially align, center objects in the eyepiece and when manually guiding.
The left and right directional keys can also be used to move the text cursor when entering data into the hand control.
Scroll Keys:
The up and down scroll keys, shown in Fig. 37, allow you to scroll up and down within the menu tree or selections.
