1 Operation

An autopilot is a very useful navigational aid, but

DOES NOT under any circumstances replace a

human navigator

Do not use automatic steering when:

• In heavy traffic areas or in narrow waters

• In poor visibility or extreme sea conditions

• When in areas where use of autopilot is prohibited by

law

When using an autopilot:

• Do not leave the helm unattended

• Do not place any magnetic material or equipment near

heading sensor used in the autopilot system

• Verify at regular intervals course and position of

vessel

• Always switch to Standby mode and reduce speed in

due time to avoid hazardous situations
