About This Manual
This manual provides essential information for the safe and
reliable operation of the 1501 Autopilot System. You are urged to
read this manual in its entirely before you use your Autopilot for
the first time, and to keep it handy until you become thoroughly
familiar with the operation of your Autopilot.
Throughout this manual, you will see a number of different
typefaces used, as well as some distinct phases, or “jargon”.
Please take a moment to become familiar with the following terms:
• Each time a push-button is referred to in this manual, the push-button name will
appear in bold and CAPITAL letters, e.g. MODE.
• Unless otherwise stated, the push-button presses are momentary.
• Each time a function is mentioned in the text, it will be in brackets and in the
same format, where possible, as displayed, e.g. [HDG] for HeaDinG.
• With the word navigator we mean a GPS, Loran or Decca instrument.
• Which instrument is navigating? By the term navigating, we mean the active
instrument in which the waypoint memory is used for navigation to calculate the
navigation data, i.e. BTW, DTW etc. There can only be one instrument on the
NX2 Network which is keeping the waypoints in memory, but the waypoints can
be reached from all instruments.
