Turning the Handheld Remote On or Off

The handheld remote is always on, and is ready for use anytime that the trolling

motor is powered up and in the deployed position.

Steering

To turn left, press the left turn button on the handheld remote.

To turn right, press the right turn button on the handheld remote.

The available steering range allows the trolling motor to turn beyond 180° for

operation in reverse.

Speed Control

Press the propeller on/off button once to start the propeller, and press the
propeller on/off

button again to stop the propeller.

The trolling motor will emit a two‑beep tone when the propeller is started, and

the propeller status indicator light on the trolling motor will illuminate.

The trolling motor will emit a two‑beep tone when the propeller is stopped, and

the propeller status indicator light will turn off.

The system is equipped with 20 speed levels. Press the increase speed (+)

button to increase motor speed by one level, and press the decrease speed (–)

button to reduce the motor speed by one level.

Holding the increase speed (+) or decrease speed (–) buttons will cause the

speed level to increase or decrease until the speed level is reached. Holding the
increase speed (+)

or decrease speed (–) button for 2.5 seconds will increase

the speed level from 0% to 100%, or decrease from 100% to 0%, respectively.

The trolling motor will emit two beeps when it reaches the 100% or 0% speed

level.

The trolling motor will emit two beeps if the user tries to increase or decrease

the motor speed beyond its limits.

ANCHOR MODE

Operating in Anchor Mode

Anchor mode allows the boat's bow to remain in a fixed location, and will

automatically account for wind and current changes to keep the boat in the selected

location, using the trolling motor steering and speed controls. In order for anchor

mode to operate, the Pinpoint GPS system must have achieved a fixed GPS location,

indicated by the trolling motor emitting a three‑beep tune, and the GPS status

indicator light will illuminate.
