anti-backlash settings for new NexStar 8i

I just received my NexStar 8i two weeks ago. It's really my first telescope. I've read the manual about adjusting the anti-backlash settings but I'm just not sure how to do it and get good results. I've been having some difficulty controlling the movement of the telescope at the slower rates (below 7) and I've noticed quite a bit of backlash at these low rates.

Any suggestions as to good starting points?
