If the autopilot detects a wind shift of more than 15° it will sound the

wind shift warning and display the

WIND SHIFT message:

• To cancel the warning, and retain the existing wind angle and new

heading, press

standby and auto together.

• Alternatively, to cancel the warning and return to the previous

heading, either:

• adjust the locked wind angle using the

-1, +1, -10 and

+10 keys,

• press

standby to return to hand steering, steer onto the

required heading, and press

standby and auto together to

return to Wind Vane mode with the new wind angle

Using AutoTack in Wind Vane mode

Note: If you use the AutoTack function in Wind Vane mode, make

sure the wind vane has been centered accurately.

The ST7001+ has a built in automatic tack facility (AutoTack) that

turns the boat through 100° in the required direction:

• to AutoTack to port: press the

-1 and -10 keys together

Note: If you have set the vessel type to SAIL BOAT, you can adjust the

default AutoTack angle in User or Dealer calibration (see page 87).
