Start with low and medium speeds to get familiar with the
response from the AP300X.
Try the effect of LO and HI speed settings.
If the hardware for automatic HI/LO speed selection is connected
and configured, verify that the HI/LO transition is occurring, and
the HI/LO parameters are changing after the transition speed is
crossed (by more than 1 Knot higher or lower speed).
Try the Dodge function and the U-turn.
If a Non-Follow Up lever (or handheld remote) is connected, test
the mode switching and verify Port and Stbd steering commands
of the lever.
If the installation is on a sailboat, try the specific sailboat
functions using the owner as a consultant on the boats specific
steering characteristics when sailing. Be careful to avoid
hazardous situations until you gain experience.
Set waypoints into each navigator connected to the system, and
verify that the AP300CX or AP300DLX steers in NAV mode for
each NAV source.
Provide the owner with user training.
