Anchor Mode on the Power-Pole MOVE ZR may not work properly due to several reasons:
1. Loose Shaft Clamp: The Shaft Clamp must be tight. If it's loose, the system will not function correctly.
2. GPS Signal Obstruction: Large metal objects or magnets near the Navigation Head can interfere with the GPS signal. Remove any obstructions and ensure proper placement.
3. Improper Motor Depth: The Propulsion Motor should be at least 12 inches below the water’s surface for best operation.
4. Configuration Settings: Anchor Mode's responsiveness can be adjusted in the Power-Pole App. If it’s too aggressive or not aggressive enough, it may need reconfiguration.
5. Navigation Head Calibration: If there are no obstructions and issues persist, recalibrate the Navigation Head Circuit Board using the Power-Pole App.
