Set up Autopilot
(ION only)
If you are using a separate-purchase Humminbird autopilot (SC 110) with the ION control head, it is important to review the following:
• Read the autopilot manual completely so you understand the operation requirements before you use the equipment.
• There are many safety precautions that must be considered before you use the equipment. See the autopilot manual for more
information.
• When you initiate navigation from the control head, there are certain controls that are NOT available on the autopilot. See the
autopilot manual for more information.
WARNING! The autopilot system should be installed and configured by a certified Marine Electronics Technician (CMET) or an
authorized Marine Electronics Installer (MEI). See NMEA.org for details. Incorrect installation may affect the system's
performance, which affects the safety of the vessel and its passengers. If you have questions about the installation, please
contact Humminbird Customer Service.
