Note: You will lose these temporary changes to response level whenever the
system is powered off. You can make permanent adjustments in User Cali-
bration (see page 23).
Off Course warning
The SmartPilot warns you when you have been off course from the locked
heading for longer than 20 seconds. It shows whether the deviation is to port
or starboard.
Note: The default off course angle is set at 20º. You can adjust this angle in
Dealer Calibration (see SmartPilot Commissioning Guide).
1. To cancel the off course warning, press standby to return to manual
steering.
2. Check whether your boat is carrying too much sail, or whether the sails
are badly balanced. You can usually significantly improve course keep-
ing by improving the sail balance.
Note: The SmartPilot also clears the warning if the heading recovers or if
you change course.
