Power on is indicated by illumination of the [Deckmount] switch button and one or more
LED's lit on the Hand Held.
Both the [Deckmount] button 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. Autopilot steering is not available during this start up period.

The [Auto/Stby] button engages and disengages autopilot steering. The
[Deckmount] button performs the same function after the pilot is powered up.
When the button is pressed and released to go into Auto mode, the pilot captures the compass heading and
subsequently moves the rudder to hold that heading. The LED next to "Auto" will illuminate and the deckmount
light will be lit solid on. You should be steering your boat on a constant heading at the time you press the [Auto/
Stby] button.
The rudder (steering) is directly controlled by [Right Arrow] and [Left Arrow] buttons
when the Rudder LED is illuminated. When you program the [Plus (+)] button for
Rudder, the system will toggle between Rudder mode and heading hold mode when you
press and release the [Plus (+)] button. (Autopilot or heading hold are not available
while you are in Rudder function.)
