Menu item and description

Calibration lock

The calibration lock is used to lock out specific calibration settings which
if changed may require recommissioning of the autopilot system. If your
system has been dealer installed then the lock may be turned on.

Dockside wizard

Dockside calibration must be carried out before using your autopilot for
the first time.
The Dockside wizard guides you through the dockside calibration
process.
The steps included in the dockside wizard are dependent on whether you
have a rudder reference transducer fitted to your vessel.

Restart compass

Select to restart the compass linearization procedure.
Compass lock
Locks the compass linearization so that further automatic linearization is
not performed.

Align compass to GPS

Follow the onscreen instructions to align your compass with your GPS
heading.
If your system has a GPS connected to your data network (SeaTalk,
SeaTalkng or NMEA), the autopilot is tuned to the GPS heading while you
steer to a known magnetic heading. This step provides a rough alignment
and minimizes the amount of compass fine tuning required. As part of
the align to GPS process, the autopilot system will compare the average
heading with the average COG (Course Over Ground) value reported
by the source of GPS data, and set an offset value so that the heading
matches the COG value provided by the GPS.
Pilot factory reset
Resets your autopilot's settings to factory default values.
