determine the deviation and apply any correction required. The correction procedure
reduces deviation errors to a few degrees.

each 360°:
If you turn the boat too quickly, the display will show a TOO FAST message. If this
occurs, apply less helm to turn in a larger circle.
Note:
If necessary, you can quit the correction process by pressing standby or disp. If you then
want to repeat the deviation correction, return to the SWING COMPASS screen.
6. Continue slowly turning the boat until the controller beeps and displays the
DEVIATION screen. This indicates that the SPX-5 Wheel system has completed
the deviation correction.
Note:
This screen shows the maximum deviation encountered over 360° (not as an east/west
value).
