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.
Activating the autopilot
You activate the autopilot from any panel by pressing the STBY/AUTO key, followed by
selecting a mode in the Autopilot Controller.
Switching from automatic mode to manual steering
You switch the autopilot to STBY mode from any automatic operation mode by a short press
on the STBY/AUTO key.

Note: If the unit is connected to an EVC system via the SG05, you can take manual
control of the steering regardless of the autopilot mode. Refer to "Using the autopilot in an EVC
system" on page 58.
