one of the Scroll keys to toggle between the YES/NO settings. Select the desired
setting by pressing ENTER.
NOTE: Daylight Savings Time may be referred to by a different name in
various areas of the world.
8. If you have previously entered the Country/State and City of your observing site
(as described in "ACTIVATE THE ARROW KEYS," page 14), go to step 9. If you
have not entered this information, perform the following steps:
a. Starfinder prompts you to enter the Country or State (listed alphabetically) of
the observing site. Use the Scroll keys to cycle through the database of
countries, states, and provinces. Press ENTER when the correct location
displays.
b. Starfinder then prompts you to enter the nearest city (listed alphabetically) to
the observing site. Use the Scroll keys to cycle through the database of cities.
Press ENTER when the correct city appears on screen.
NOTE: Starfinder only prompts you to enter Country/State and City the first
time it is activated. These prompts do not appear again, unless you reset
Starfinder (see "RESET," page 32). However, if you change your
geographic location, you can change the location information by using the
Site option of the Setup menu. See "SITE," page 32, for detailed
information.
9. System Initialization is complete and the display reads "Align: One Star." After
performing the Initialization procedure, you MUST train your drive. Continue to
