Chapter 7: Adjusting Autopilot Settings
Pop-up pilot time-out
During normal autopilot operation, you can set the control unit so it
has a data page as the main display (see page 31). Whenever you
select a new autopilot mode or make a course change, the autopilot
mode screen will 'pop-up'. After a short period, the display will
revert to the selected data page. The default pop-up time is 5 seconds.
You can use this Display Calibration screen to adjust the pop-up pilot
display time-out.
Screen text
POPUP TIMEOUT
Data pages 1-15
The next 15 screens allow you to modify the settings for the data
pages. These define the SeaTalk/NMEA data pages that will be
available during normal operation (see page 31). Each data page
setup screen initially shows the title DATA PAGE and the page number.
After 1 second, the text changes to the title of the data currently set for
that page.
The default settings are:
Data page
1
2
3
4
5 -15
*Note: It is good practice to keep the BTW and DTW pages for display. If the
autopilot receives a man overboard (MOB) message, these data pages will
show the bearing and distance to the MOB location.
To change the data displayed on a data page:

Options

NOT USED (These pages are not displayed when you scroll
through the data pages during normal operation)
Press disp to move to the appropriate data page setup screen.
Use the -1 and +1 keys to scroll forwards or backwards through
the available data pages (see following table).
Then press disp to move to the next data page you want to
change, or press and hold standby for 2 seconds to save changes.
