Setting  DG  When  GPS  Signal  Is  Lost  

When   the   GPS   signal   is   lost   the   DG   will   enter   the  
free   gyro   mode.     This   mode   has   no   track   or  
heading  reference  so  the  DG  must  be  set  against  a  
compass   heading   or   other   directional   reference.    
There   are   several   options   for   changing   the   DG  

direction.      
1-­‐To  stop  the  DG  from  drifting  left,  press  and  hold  
the   ‘control   key’   and   to   the   right   of   the   DG   box.    

The  longer  these  keys  are  held  the  more  the  drift  
will  be  reduced.  
 

2-­‐To   stop   the   DG   from   drifting   right,   follow   the  
same  procedure  as  in  1,  but  touch  to  the  left  of  the  
DG  box.  
 
Once   the   drift   has   been   removed   (DG   stopped),  
the  following  procedure  can  be  used  to  set  the  DG  
value.  
 
1-­‐Tap   the   key   on   the   side   of   the   DG   box   that  
corresponds  to  the  desired  DG  direction.    Each  tap  

will  step  the  DG  in  the  desired  direction  by  small  
increments.
