wires to be sure that they are not twisted excessively or

pinched.

6. carefully close the keypad. (Reference the section on

opening and closing the Keypad). make sure that the

white plastic washers on the screws and the strain relief

on the cable are in place.

7. secure the six screws. test your keypad to make sure

the new cable works properly.

8. if your keypad has a rubber keypad protector (KeYPRo),

reinstall it now using the previous instructions (also avail-

able from our website). if you don't have a KeYPRo,

we strongly suggest that you purchase one. Refer to our

website for additional information.

We generally state that the life expectancy of the keypad battery is 4 to 5 years. however, we have seen unusual

circumstances where a battery has still been functioning after 10 years. it is a battery. it will last until it is no longer

functioning.

the battery's sole purpose is to maintain the objects database when the keypad is powered off. the keypad will

sometimes display the warning "loW batteRY." that does not refer to the internal database battery; it is referring to the

power source that is powering the mount. if the internal battery fails the object information provided will be wrong:

●

object below the horizon - You may be told that the object that you wish to slew to is below the horizon when that is

clearly not the case.

●

magnitude 100 - the object data may indicate that the magnitude of the object is absurdly high, such as mag 100.

Please know that stars and planets will not be affected by a dead keypad battery, as they are calculated positions and do

not rely on the database. only database objects are affected, such as messier objects or ngc and ic objects.

given the low cost of replacement batteries, it is a good practice to replace the battery on a regular 4-5 year schedule so

that a long awaited trip to a dark site or star party is not ruined.
