Case VI. The i-Pilot GPS-based features drop out when the motor speed setting
is increased.
Step 1.
Suspect a low voltage situation.
A.
Inspect all battery connections, trolling motor plug (if installed), and any butt splice connections in
battery leadwire for corrosion and security. Use of inadequate gauge wire in boat or any leadwire
extension can result in voltage drop / low voltage to the motor; as can an inadequate or a corroded plug
/ plug receptacle.
B.
Ensure the minimum voltage requirements at the motor are met.
Case VII. While in Track to Start/End the propeller suddenly stopped.
Step 1.
Verify you did not accidentally enable another automatic feature such as AutoPilot or Spot-Lock.
Step 2.
The Arrival Mode may be set to OFF. When the End or Start point of an iTrack is reached the i-Pilot Link will
automatically cancel iTrack navigation. Depending on the Arrival Mode chosen, the motor will turn off, go into
Spot-Lock, or go into AutoPilot. See i-Pilot Link User Manual for more information.
Case VIII. While in Record mode, the recording suddenly stopped.
Step 1.
You may have reached the two-mile limit for recording a track.
Case IX. When a button on the 1.5 remote is pressed no icons are displayed on
the remote LCD screen.
Step 1.
Use a coin, (a quarter works well), to remove the battery cover on the back side of the remote. Insert coin in
slot and rotate the cover about 60° counterclockwise to disengage the cover locking tabs from the case back.
Turn the remote over and then the cover and CR2450 battery should fall out the back of the remote.
Step 2.
Test the remote battery voltage. A good battery will have at least 2.9 volts. Replace the battery, if required, and
reassemble battery and cover into the remote.
A.
Retest remote for function and icon display. If no display is noted, replace the remote (p/n 2994170 or
2994171 for Ulterra).
Case X. When any button on the 1.0 remote is pressed nothing happens.
Step 1.
Open the remote case assembly by removing the six screws on the back side of the remote.
Step 2.
Check voltage of the battery in the remote. A good battery will read at least 2.9 volts. Replace the battery and
retest, as necessary.
NOTE:
Care must be used when reassembling the remote case. Be sure to re-install the screws using the same
threads initially “cut” when the screws were first installed. The screws should be torqued to about 6 inch-
pounds to ensure proper resealing of the remote assembly.
Step 3.
If the battery voltage checked okay, check the security of the battery holder to the remote’s circuit board. If B+
or B- battery connections are loose or if the battery holder is loose from the circuit board replace the remote
assembly.
Step 4.
If the customer reported seeing “moisture” in the LCD window and the remote does not respond to any button
press then water may have gotten inside the sealed remote enclosure and shorted out the microcircuit on the
board. Replace remote assembly.
Case XI. When buttons on the 1.0 remote are pressed some of them work and
others do not, but all buttons “feel” the same.
Step 1.
Open the remote case assembly by removing the six screws on the back side of the remote. Visually inspect the
dome switches on the front side of the remote circuit board. If any dome switch is found to be flattened or
collapsed, replace the remote. If the dome switches are fine, but a plunger array pin is bent or broken, replace
the plunger array (p/n 2378451).
