This section of the manual can be skipped if you are using a smart device with WiFi instead of the NexStar+ controller.
The NexStar Evolution includes a computerized hand control to operate the telescope directly without the use of the WiFi
connection to Celestron SkyPortal. The hand control can be plugged into any of the 4 AUX ports on the mount.
