Operating In Manual Mode - MotorGuide Pinpoint User Manual

PRODUCT INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
When the trolling motor is powered up and deployed, it is immediately capable of
operating as a conventional trolling motor. The trolling motor will require
approximately 30 seconds to acquire a fixed GPS position. Having a clear view of the
sky overhead, with no large trees, power lines, bridges, or buildings to interfere with
the GPS signal, will improve the GPS accuracy and reduce the amount of time
required to obtain a fixed GPS position. Once the unit has acquired a fixed GPS
position, the GPS accuracy will continually improve for several minutes. It is
recommended to power up the trolling motor as soon as possible before operation to
allow the fixed GPS position to become as accurate as possible.
Power up the trolling motor by connecting the battery cables to the trolling motor
batteries, or plugging the trolling motor into the trolling motor power plug (if
equipped). The trolling motor will emit audio signals to make the operator aware of its
status.
• The trolling motor will emit one beep when it is powered up.
• The trolling motor will emit a three‑beep tune once it has acquired a fixed GPS
position, and the GPS status indicator light will illuminate.

OPERATING IN MANUAL MODE

In manual mode, the trolling motor operates like a conventional trolling motor. It
allows the operator to manually control the direction of travel and thrust level of the
trolling motor, using the directional controls on the handheld remote or wireless foot
pedal. Refer to the following illustration and instructions to operate the trolling motor
in manual mode with the handheld remote.
Once the trolling motor is powered up, it is ready to operate in manual mode. Manual
mode is the default mode after power‑up, and also if the GPS signal is lost while in a
GPS operating mode. The trolling motor will emit one beep to indicate its status in
manual mode. To enter manual mode from another mode, press the manual mode
button.
