What to do if you accidentally switch the remote off while A/P is armed
Switch the boat OFF immediately or switch the remote back ON and toggle the Sail Mode
switch from Manual to RTL Mode and then back to Manual Mode.
About the Signal Failsafe Function
The Signal Failsafe function is a very important part of the RTL feature. It is activated when
RC contact between the remote and the boat is lost for more than 30 seconds and will
instruct the A/P to autonomously sail the boat back to the home co-ordinates.
If radio contact is re-established between the remote and the boat during failsafe
autonomous sailing, manual control will only be returned to the remote if the Sail Mode
Switch is toggled from Manual mode to RTL mode and then back to Manual mode.
Activating the RTL Function
Step 1: Sail the boat manually to a position 30m left or right of the drop zone. Deciding on
which side to come back will depend on the bow in the line. Always sail the boat back on
the side opposite to the bow in the line.
Step 2: Move the ‘Sail Mode’ switch to position 1 (closest to the face of the radio).
What to do if you can't see your boat after dropping your bait
If you are not able to see the boat to be able sail it a safe position away from the line, you
can still activate the RTL feature. When you are able to see it take back manual control and
reposition the boat before re-activating RTL to continue the return trip. Once the RTL
function has been activated, the boat should turn immediately and head towards the
Home Point.
We recommend you take back control of the boat through rough surf and when landing
the boat by moving the Sail Mode switch back to Manual mode i.e the center position.
