Powering up
1. When you have installed your SmartPilot system, switch on the circuit breaker, or install
the fuse.
2. If the SmartPilot controller and course computer are active, the controller will beep, dis-
playing the controller type for a few seconds then the STANDBY screen. You may see a
CALIBRATE REQUIRED message. This is displayed for a short time if either:

These will be calibrated later in this chapter
3. Check that the STANDBY screen displays a live compass heading.
