If a stepper or synchro gyro is connected to the autopilot system
via the GI50 Gyro Interface, a display for the heading
adjustment is presented at Power On or at change of compass in
the User Set-up menu. Use the course knob to align the autopilot
read-out to correspond with the gyro heading. Check the
alignment every time the autopilot/gyro is switched on. If two
stepper gyros are connected, both will simultaneously be
aligned. A stepper gyro used as monitor compass will
automatically be aligned to the steering compass.

If the inactive symbol
is shown (when powered up from
