To correct the heading, select the HDG function in the SHIP display mode by pressing the SHIP key 4 times. Then, enter the correct heading using the numeric keys and press ENTER.
Why Sea Tel 9711 C ship's heading display does not indicate the correct heading?
If the Sea Tel Antenna display is off by 60, 180, or 300 degrees, it means that R1 and R2 are reversed. You should reverse R1 and R2 and then recheck the heading display.
What to do if Sea Tel 9711 C ship's heading display indicates incorrect heading?
If the Sea Tel Antenna display is off by 120 or 240 degrees, it means that S1, S2, and S3 are in the right order but off by one place. Move the connections one position over (S1 to S2, S2 to S3, and S3 to S1).
What to do if Sea Tel 9711 C Antenna display changes in the opposite direction of the ship's movement?
To resolve this issue with your Sea Tel Antenna, switch the secondary leads S1 and S2. Then, verify that when the ship changes direction, the display shows the change in the same direction.
