Calibration lock
The calibration lock is used to lock out specific calibration settings which
if changed may require recommissioning of the autopilot system. If your
system has been dealer installed then the lock may be turned on.

Dockside wizard
Dockside calibration must be carried out before using your autopilot for

Align compass to GPS
(1)
Follow the onscreen instructions to align your compass with your GPS
heading.
If your system has a GPS connected to your data network (SeaTalk,
SeaTalkng or NMEA), the autopilot is tuned to the GPS heading while you
steer to a known magnetic heading. This step provides a rough alignment
and minimizes the amount of compass fine tuning required. As part of
the align to GPS process, the autopilot system will compare the average
heading with the average COG (Course Over Ground) value reported
by the source of GPS data, and set an offset value so that the heading
matches the COG value provided by the GPS.
