Safety Notices

Product installation
This equipment must be installed and operated in accordance with the
instructions contained in this handbook. Failure to do so could result in poor
product performance, personal injury and/or damage to your boat.
Before installing the SmartController and basestation, check that they are
the correct voltage for your boat's supply.
As correct performance of the boat's steering is critical for safety, we
STRONGLY RECOMMEND that an Authorized Raymarine Service
Representative fits this product.
WARNING: Electrical safety
Make sure the power supply is switched off before you make
any electrical connections.
WARNING: Calibration
We supply this product calibrated to default settings that
should provide initial stable performance for most boats. To
ensure optimum performance on your boat, you must
complete the AutoLearn procedure as described in your
autopilot handbook.
WARNING: Navigation aid
Although we have designed this product to be accurate and
reliable, many factors can affect its performance. As a result,
it should only be used as an aid to navigation and should
never replace common sense and navigational judgement.
Always maintain a permanent watch so you can respond to
situations as they develop.
