To lock the pilot onto the desired course, either steer the cor-

rect course and then engage the autopilot, or engage the

autopilot and then adjust the heading until the correct course

is being sailed (see section 2.4 below). If the STBY/AUTO key

is pressed and held, the pilot will beep a second time and lock

onto the previously used heading (note that this feature will

not be available if the unit has just been switched on).

To disengage the pilot, press the STBY/AUTO key and lift the

clutch lever. Always switch the pilot to Standby mode when

disengaging the clutch.

made – press the Port ( ) or Starboard ( ) key once and a 1º

course adjustment will be made in the specified direction. This

is confirmed by a single beep, and the Port or Starboard LED

will flash once. Press and hold the key, and a 10º course adjust-

ment will be made, confirmed by a double beep and a double

flash of the Port or Starboard LED (Fig 2.3) -
