The Autopilot settings panel

The Autopilot settings panel gives access to settings that might be changed by the user
during operation of the Autopilot.
For information about installation, see the separate Zeus Touch Installation manual.
Auto-hide
Autopilot information is by default shown on
top of the pages when the Autopilot pop-up
is not displayed. You can select to turn this
information off.
Crescent lights
The background lights around the rotary knob can be used to indicate that the Zeus Touch
is under Autopilot control. When toggled on the lights will be red and green when the
Autopilot is not in standby.
When toggled off the lights will follow day/night light setting.
Chart compass
You can select to show a compass symbol around your boat on the chart
panel. The compass symbol will be off when the cursor is active on the
panel.
Locking a Zeus Touch unit
If two Zeus Touch units are included in the system, the non-active Zeus Touch unit can be
locked to prevent unauthorized operation of the Autopilot.
When the unit is locked this is indicated with a lock symbol and with text in the pop up.
When the lock function is in use, no automatic modes can be selected from the Zeus Touch
unit.
¼ Note:
The lock function is not available on the Zeus Touch unit which is active as Autopilot
control!
If the Zeus Touch unit is part of an AP24/AP28 system, the unit can be locked from the AP24/
AP28 control unit.
