Heading alignment

1.Use the -1and +1 keys to increase or decrease the displayed heading until it agrees with the heading on the boat’s steering compass, or a known transit bearing.

2.Exit compass linearization and heading alignment and store the compass correction/alignment values as follows:

press and hold standby for 1 second until the pilot beeps

or, to exit without saving any new settings, press standby momentarily

Note: For installations where an ST50 or ST30 Steering Compass instrument is connected to the SeaTalk bus, and the Steering Compass has a fluxgate transducer connected, it is only necessary to carry out the auto deviation correction on the Steering Compass Instrument (refer to Steering Compass handbook instructions).
