parameter is adjusted to its maximum value, the Up Arrow LED will light. The parameter is

adjusted and is in use by the autopilot immediately.

5. Decrease an adjustable parameter one step by each press of the

Down Arrow

button. When

the parameter is adjusted to its minimum value, the Down Arrow LED will light. The parameter

is adjusted and is in use by the autopilot immediately.

6. You can stay in Setup and adjust more than one parameter.

7. Compass Calibration, and resetting to factory defaults are setup conditions that take the

system over and restart the autopilot computer. The button sequences for their operation are

given in the Table of Setup Codes below.

8. To view the operating value of an adjustable parameter, enter its code per the Table of Setup

GPS

(Select Load) button. The LED on the

Up Arrow

current value of 15, the Up Arrow LED will blink once and the Down Arrow LED will blink 5

times to indicate the parameter is set to 1 (blink) X 10 + 5 (blinks) X 1. Of course, when a

parameter is adjusted to its minimum or maximum value, the appropriate LED stays on solid per
