To complete the compass correction:

1. Press and hold 

STANDBY

 for 1 second – a series of dashes will 

cycle around the display.

            

Note: If you see a ‘CAL OFF’ message instead of the dashes, 
calibration access has been prevented. Refer to page 66 for details. 

2. Keeping boat speed below 2 knots, turn the boat in slow circles. 

You should take at least 3 minutes to complete each 360°.

            

3. Keep turning your boat until the display changes to show the 

amount of deviation the autopilot has detected. The deviation 
alternates with the autopilot’s current heading every second.

            

Note: If the deviation exceeds 15° you should re-site the control unit 
to a location less affected by magnetic interference.
