[Stargate] How did Apophis dial out in the first episode of SG-1?

I'm rewatching SG-1 and it just occured to me that Apophis came to earth at the beginning of the first episode and managed to gate back without a DHD or a computer capable of correcting for stellar drift. How did he do it?

System Lords have all sorts of technology and devices on hand to better facilitate their godlike images. We've seen a few, like their hand devices and personal shield generators. It's very possible Apophis and others like him have very small DHDs on them, perhaps integrated into the hand device, or maybe something else. It could be limited in use, or maybe it's as good as the original podium designs. Either way, having a goa'uld wave their hand and instantly activate a chappa'ai would be a pretty impressive thing to see.
