Turn power on by pressing and releasing the

Deckmount switch. Turn the power off by

pressing and holding the switch down until the

Deckmount switch light has extinguished

(about four seconds).

Power on is indicated by illumination of the

Deckmount switch button and the STBY LED

on the Hand Held.

Both the

Deckmount switch light and remote STBY LED will blink for about 30 seconds after turning power

on. During this 30-second time, the pilot computers are running self-test and starting up the compass and
gyroscope. No autopiloting operations are available during this start up period. After the startup period the
STBY LED will stay illuminated, without blinking, as long as the system remains in standby mode.

The deckmount switch can also be used to switch the unit from standby to autopilot.



The

Auto/Stby button on the handheld engages and disengages autopilot

steering. The

Deckmount button performs the same function after the pilot

is powered up.

When the button is pushed to go into Auto mode, the pilot captures the compass heading and subsequent
moves the rudder to hold that heading. The LED next to Auto will illuminate when The autopilot is
engaged. You should be steering your boat on a constant heading at the time you Press the Auto/Stby
button.

If you program the

Bent Right Arrow and Bent Left Arrow buttons for

Remote Steer, when one of these buttons is pushed, the rudder is directly
controlled by these pushbuttons until a

Straight Right Arrow or Straight

Left Arrow button is pushed to reengage the pilot or the system is returned standby.
(In remote steer, (autopilot0 heading hold is not engaged

and will not lock on to a new heading until one

of the straight arrows are pressed to take it out of remote steer.)
