Check the SeaTalk and NMEA connections.When adjusting the basic autopilot settings you will need to enterDisplay Calibration, as shown on the illustration on page 107. Whensetting the vessel type you will have the following options:• Displacement: DISPLACE (including sail boats)• Semi Displacement: SEMI DISPLACE• Planing: PLANING• Stern (I/O) Drive: STERN DRVSeatrial CalibrationWhen you have completed the dockside checks, you must completethe setup by taking the boat on a short seatrial to:1. Calibrate the compass: complete the automatic deviationcorrection and heading alignment as described in Chapter6: Commissioning the Autopilot.NOTE: You will need to enter COMPASS CALIBRATION(not Seatrial Calibration) to swing the compass on a Type100/300 course computer systems.
