Autopilot
If a compatible autopilot computer is connected to the system,
autopilot functionality is available in the system.
The system does not allow for more than one autopilot computer
on the network.
The display unit automatically detects the autopilot computer
available on the network and presents settings, configuration and
user options for the connected computer.
For details about installing and configuring an autopilot computer,
refer to the separate manuals that come with the autopilot
computer.
Safe operation with the autopilot
Warning: An autopilot is a useful navigational aid,
but DOES NOT replace a human navigator.
Warning: Ensure the autopilot has been installed
correctly, commissioned and calibrated before use.

Note: You can disengage the autopilot at any time by pressing
the STBY key on the OP12 Autopilot controller.
Do not use automatic steering when:
• In heavy traffic areas or in narrow waters

heading sensor used by the autopilot system
• Verify at regular intervals the course and position of the vessel
• Always switch to Standby mode and reduce speed in due time to
avoid hazardous situations
