Onwa Marine Electronics KAP-833 - Manual (Page 16)

The main power switch is incorporated in this variable control. When in the OFF
position no power is applied to KAP-833. By turning this in a clockwise direction
from the OFF position, the switch applies to the KAP-833.
This setting is used for adjusting the autopilot response to varying sea conditions
and varying vessel capabilities. The weather value sets the desired accuracy of the
vessel steering. A high weather setting will cause the vessel to steer very
accurately but may cause excessive use of the steering.
In good weather, set this control to a high value, but ensure that the drive lights
do not flicker continuously. This will give the straightest possible course.
In poor weather, reduce this setting to prevent over-working the steering.
Rotating this control fully anti-clockwise will turn off power to the KAP-833
autopilot.
