Chapter 7: Adjusting Autopilot Settings 81
7 Adjusting Autopilot Settings
Pop-up pilot time-out
During normal autopilot operation, you can set the control unit so it
has a data page as the main display (see page 31). Whenever you
select a new autopilot mode or make a course change, the autopilot
mode screen will ‘pop-up’. After a short period, the display will
revert to the selected data page. The default pop-up time is 5 seconds.
You can use this Display Calibration screen to adjust the pop-up pilot
display time-out.
Data pages 1-15
The next 15 screens allow you to modify the settings for the data
pages. These define the SeaTalk/NMEA data pages that will be
available during normal operation (see page 31). Each data page
setup screen initially shows the title
DATA PAGE and the page number.
After 1 second, the text changes to the title of the data currently set for
that page.
The default settings are:
To change the data displayed on a data page:
• Press
disp to move to the appropriate data page setup screen.
• Use the
-1 and +1 keys to scroll forwards or backwards through
the available data pages (see following table).
• Then press
disp to move to the next data page you want to
change, or press and hold
standby for 2 seconds to save changes.

through the data pages during normal operation)

autopilot receives a man overboard (MOB) message, these data pages will
show the bearing and distance to the MOB location.
