Return to Hand Steering
To disengage the Autopilot and return to Standby, press standby.
• The ST7000 Plus returns to Standby mode with the display
showing the vessel’s current compass heading.
• The previous autopilot heading is memorised and can be recalled
(see Returning to Previous Locked Heading for details).
Changing Course
There are two methods for changing to a new course. You can either:
• Set a new course directly (in Auto Mode)
or
• Set up the course you want (in Auto or Standby Mode) and apply it
at a specific time (e.g. to make a course change at a predetermined
time or location), after confirming that you have set the correct
course and the direction of turn is correct.
In both cases, the +1 and +10 (starboard) and –1 and –10 (port) keys
are used to change the locked heading, in increments of 1° and 10°.
To set a new course directly, in Auto Mode, use the +1 and +10
(starboard) and –1 and –10 (port) keys as appropriate, to set the
heading you want. The autopilot will turn on to the new course
immediately it is set.
Example: a 30° course change to port = press –10 three times.
To set a new course and apply it at a predetermined time or location:
1. Press set crs. The SET COURSE screen is then displayed.
2. Use the +1 and +10 (starboard) keys or the –1 and –10 (port) keys
as appropriate to set the heading you want. The autopilot will not
accept the new heading at this stage.
