commander strings and things

have just recived my bowtech commander.
great bow but the manual sucks..
cn any one tell me if i adjust the Bh which is 7 6/8 (stated 7 1/2 ) will i affect the cam and stuff.
sorry for the dumb question but im an x recurver.
also i marked th cam position out of the box but these have now shifted a bit equaly but still shifted, can i just twist the cables to bring em back to their original position?
thanks for any help in advance as i have to get to bed due ti the fact that the next few days are all long (13hr) nursing shifts..
so please as much info on the tuning the commader as you can give
even if i dont post back straight away with my thanks. I am, thankfull that is..

My manual was not very helpful on the Allegiance.
Shortening the string will increase the BH and that will rotate both cams a little, and equally, as would drawing the bow a very small amount.Would that, or the opposite put your bow back as it was?

Try giving Bowtech an email, i had a few issues over my Allegiance and Guardian and they sent me all the details i needed. Yes i know, the manual is very lacking which i told them so. But they were great.

emailed bowtech, and the were very helpfull in there responce.
the one thing they did say was thast the bracing height of 71/2 inches was not a fixed height and that the height i had of 7/ 6/8 was fine, and well within there accepted range.
was advised to rotate the cams to their original position by just twisting the cables. bow is shooting well and i reckon im in love..
