4 CONFIGURATION AND SETUP
4.1
First time turn on
Before attempting to turn on the autopilot and perform an 
Installation Setup, the hardware installation and electrical 
connections must be completed in accordance with the 
installation instructions. 
The design of the autopilot includes advanced features that have 
simplified the installation and setup of an autopilot. 
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, “Done press 
→” is displayed. Press the STBD button to 
accept. The display will read “SETUP 
REQUIRED”. 
Continue with the installation setup according to 
the next chapters. 
If you already have completed the installation 
settings, the autopilot will enter STBY mode.
