4 CONFIGURATION AND SETUP
4.1
First time turn on
Before attempting to turn on the AP25 and perform an 
Installation Setup, the hardware installation and electrical 
connections must be completed in accordance with the 
installation instructions. 
The design of the AP25 includes advanced features that have 
simplified the installation and setup of an autopilot. 
Note !
If the autopilot is going to use Virtual feedback (page 67) you 
must first go to page 109. 
This is the start-up screen that is 
presented the first time you turn on 
your autopilot by pressing the 
STBY/PWR button. 
 
Notes !
1. You can postpone the automatic interface by going directly to
the Installation/Dockside setup. Any time the STBY button is 
pressed the interface prompt will reappear until the 
automatic interface has been performed. 
2. Be aware that you will have no compass reading before the
automatic interface is completed.
Continue by pressing the STBD (START) button to start the 
automatic interface. 
The autopilot will search for connected 
sources, and as the sources are detected 
a black square appears on the screen. 
“SEARCHING” is flashing as long as 
the autopilot is searching for data. 
When the automatic interface setup is 
finished, “FINISHED PRESS 
→” is
displayed. Press the STBD button to 
accept.
