With the system powered up, activate the desired control head or joystick
by using the Smart Select functionality on the control head or by
pressing the Take Command button on the desired device. On single
station vessels, the control head will automatically become active.
If a control head is selected, the control head Take Command light
should illuminate solid blue and both green neutral indicator lamps
should illuminate solid green. This indicates that the control head is
now in control of shift and throttle and that the engines are in the
neutral idle position.
If a joystick is selected, the joystick Take Command light should illuminate
solid blue. The joystick now has control of the system and is ready
for use.
Refer to Sections 4.0, 5.0 and 6.0 for detailed steering, control head
and joystick operation.
