After the SELF TEST display, the screen shows the system setup prompt:

SYSTEM SETUP

PROCEED >

SKIP <

There are two choices. If you wish to examine some of the features without carrying out the
setup, select SKIP by pressing the left arrow. This will bypass the setup and let you scroll
through the displays, but there will be no response to the PILOT key. The system will return
to SYSTEM SETUP the next time it is turned on.
To carry out the setup, select PROCEED by pressing the right arrow.

The next two prompts enter a description of the vessel type, so that the auto-tuning program
starts with values that are best suited for it. The Hull Type is set either to Displacement or
Planing. Displacement hulls sit level in the water over their range of operating speeds.
Planing hulls lift their bow clear of the water at higher operating speeds. Use the arrow keys
to select between the two and press MODE. Then select a displacement (weight) in ton,
which is close to the actual weight of your vessel, using the arrow keys to step up or down
through the range of 1 to 110 ton. Then press MODE.

The next two prompts are for storing the mechanical rudder limit positions and the rudder
transducer phasing in the autopilot memory. The stored limits are set 4 degrees inside the
actual stop positions and this ensures that no autopilot operations will push the steering
drive right to the stops.
