Note: If you do not press auto while the display is flashing, the autopilot will maintain the current heading.
Off course alarm
The off course alarm sounds if the locked autopilot heading and the boat’s current heading differ by more than the value set in calibration level 6 (see page 64) for 20 seconds.
Cancelling the off course alarm
To cancel the off course alarm, press standby to return to manual steering.
Note: If the off course alarm sounds, this is usually an indication that the boat is carrying too much sail, or that the sails are badly balanced. In these conditions, you can usually obtain significant improvements in course keeping by improving the sail balance.
