IMPORTANT!
An autopilot is a very useful navigational aid, but DOES NOT under any
circumstance replace a human navigator.
Do not use automatic steering when:
•
In heavy traffic areas or in narrow waters
•
In poor visibility or extreme sea conditions
•
When in areas where use of autopilot is prohibited by law
When using an autopilot:
•
Do not leave the helm unattended
•
Do not place any magnetic material or equipment near magnetic or
fluxgate compass used in the autopilot system
Verify at regular intervals course and position of vessel
•
Always switch to Standby mode in due time to avoid hazardous situations
