Chapter 5: Customising the System

5.2 Dealer Setup: Type 100/300 Course
Computer

This section describes the Dealer Setup options if you have installed
the ST600R as the control unit for a Type 100/300 Course Computer.
If you have installed the ST600R as a repeater unit on another
autopilot system, please refer to the Dealer Setup instructions in the
handbook for the main control unit.

Dealer Setup allows you to customise the autopilot to suit your boat.
However, once you have set the Pilot Type, the factory default
settings will provide safe performance for the initial sea trial, and fine
tuning is not normally required.

The flow chart on below shows you how to enter Dealer Setup, scroll
through the setup displays, adjust the values and exit.
