On/Off

Press the [POWER/BRILL] key to turn the unit on. (For PG-500, see Note 2
shown below.) A beep sounds and the equipment proceeds in the sequence
shown below, showing product information and startup test results. The startup
test checks the ROM, RAM, backed up data and communication between the
control unit and processor unit, and also checks for the presence of heading
from the sensor and rudder angle information from the rudder angle indicator. If
NG appears, an appropriate message will also appear on the screen. If NG is
shown, contact your dealer for advice.

Startup sequence


After the startup test is completed, “STBY” appears on the screen. This means
that the equipment may now be operated manually by pressing the PORT /
STBD buttons.

Note 1: The first time you turn on the power, you are asked which mode is used

from among Normal, Installation and Simulation. Rotate the course
control knob to select the appropriate mode, and then press the knob.


Note 2: When the Integrated Heading Sensor PG-500 is connected, turn on the

NAVpilot-500 and wait four minutes before leaving port in order to allow
time for the PG-500 heading data to stabilize.


Turning the power off

Press and hold down the [POWER/BRILL] key until the screen goes blank.
