Quiet mode
      #6091 - 08/11/03 08:05 AM

On the last clear night I was trying out the different settings on the autostar handset. I found a quiet mode ( much to my neighbours relief) which almost made the drive sound like a whisper compared to the hand drill noise that it normally gave out. Now however I cannot find how I came to this setting for future use, anyone know how to get to this setting again?

It's under either the Utilities or Setup, and then under Telescope.

This is from memory, so I'm not sure about it. If no one else answers before I get home from work, I'll check for you then and answer later.

Well, I checked the manual and there is nothing mentioned in the menu section. Look undere the two menu headings I mentioned earlier.

I've ran across it before, but I've never used it.

It's not in the original manual, as it was added in a firmware update issued later than the manual. It didn't work in that version anyway but the latest update does have a functional version.
