Nexremote hand controller

I recently purchased a used c8s-gt xlt here on Astromart. I am trying to figure out why the Nexremote Hand controller does not give me correct information when I go into the Utilities menu and select Get Axis. My belief is that I should see the Alt/Azm info for a given object relative to my viewing location. For example, I am near Allentown, Pa so I used Allentown during the setup which is 075W 40N. When pointing at Polaris I would expect to see something close to 040alt/ 0 or 360 Azm. Instead I see 90alt/90azm. I think I followed the setup and alignment procedures correctly including a polar align. i also tried a factory reset. This does not affect GoTo's or Tracking which appear to be accurate. Any help would be greatly Appreciated.
