Onwa Marine Electronics KAP-833 - Manual (Page 3)

Warning!
Automatic pilots are designed to be a navigational aid. As an automatic steering
aid, an autopilot can alleviate the boredom of hand steering.
This allows the operator of the vessel time to attend to other duties, keep a more
accurate check of navigation duties or just relax and enjoy the trip.
HOWEVER, THE AUTOPILOT SHOULD NOT BE LEFT SOLELY IN CHARGE
OF THE VESSEL AND AN ADEQUATE WATCH SHOULD BE MAINTAINED
AT ALL TIMES.
IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED THAT THE AUTOPILOT BE USED WHILE
NAVIGATING IN RESTRICTED WATERWAYS AS WATER CURRENTS,
WIND CHANGES OR RADIO TRANSMITTER INTERFERENCE MAY AFFCT
VESSEL COURSE SUFFICIENTLY TO ENDANGER YOUR OWN OR OTHER
VESSELS.
