Configuration Menu
The Pro Pilot provides a quick and easy method to set up certain parameters - some that are normally
only changed during installation and some that are commonly accessed in flight. These are divided into
two different menus, the “Configuration Settings Menu” and the “Preferences Settings Menu”.
 The
Configuration Menu may be accessed by pressing and holding the encoder knob only
while turning on the power to the system. These are settings that normally are set up one time
and need not be addressed again. Some parameters, such as setting servo direction, are not
accessible in flight.
 The
Preferences Menu is accessed by pressing the encoder knob and holding it in for 3
seconds while in the navigation display. These menus contain settings that the pilot can adjust
in flight to optimize the Pro Pilot for current flight conditions.
Using the Configuration Menus
The Configuration menu may be accessed in flight in the following manner:
With the power off, press and hold the encoder knob while turning on power to the Pro Pilot.
Once the CONFIG SETTINGS screen is observed release the encoder knob.
Paging through the options is accomplished by pressing the encoder knob sequentially to sequence
forward, or by rotating the encoder knob to move to the next or previous display.
Once the appropriate screen has been selected, pressing the H MODE button will activate the cursor and
place the triangular arrow on the screen indicating the display values can be adjusted or changed.
Rotating or pressing the encoder will change the screen settings. The screen will not update if the arrow
is not present.
To exit a screen, press the H MODE button until the arrow is no longer present on the display. This
makes it possible to again page through the setup screens using the encoder knob..
To exit the CONFIGURATION SETTINGS menu, press and hold the encoder knob for a period of 3
seconds and the screen will return to the navigation functions.
