Sea trial
Warning: An autopilot is intended only as a
supplemental aid to navigation. It IS NOT a
replacement for a human navigator or prudent
seamanship. Never leave the helm unattended.
A seatrial can only be performed after the dockside settings are
completed.
Ú
Note:
The seatrial must always be performed in calm
conditions, in open waters and at a safe distance from other
traffic.
Compass setup
To achieve the best possible performance, the compass should be
calibrated, and any offsets should be compensated for.
The setup needs to be done from an appropriate display unit.
Depending on the unit, access to the compass setup is available
from the compass’s device dialog, or from a dedicated Calibration
option in the unit’s Settings menu.
