Caution: Cross track errorcorrectionWhen returning to TRACK mode the autopilot willcorrect the XTE in order to keep to the definedtrack leg. The direction of turn may not coincidewith the bearing to waypoint and may be differentfrom that expected.Route completionThe autopilot displays the Route Complete warning when youhave reached the last waypoint on a route.Note: The ‘Route Complete’ alarm only sounds and displaysin conjunction with a multifunction display.Leaving track modeTo leave Track mode:1. Press AUTO to return to Auto mode (autopilot control), or.2. Press STANDBY to return to Standby mode (manualsteering).9.6 Wind vane mode (Sailing boatsonly)When the autopilot is in Wind Vane mode it uses the wind angleas the primary heading reference. As changes in the true orapparent wind angle occur, it adjusts the locked heading tomaintain the original wind angle.D12116-213524Item Description1 Wind direction2 Wind shift3 New wind direction4 Relative wind angle5 Vessel turns to maintain same relative windangleYou can only select Wind Vane mode if the autopilot is receivingsuitable SeaTalk, SeaTalkng, or NMEA 2000 wind direction data.Autopilots can maintain a course relative to either an apparentor true wind angle in Wind Vane mode. The default setting isApparent wind. If required, you can change this to True windin the Sail Boat Settings menu: Menu > Set-up > AutopilotCalibration > Sail Boat Settings > Wind Type.Using wind vane modeYou can select Wind vane mode from either STANDBY orAUTO mode:1. Steady the vessel onto the required wind angle.2. Select Wind vane mode:i. Wind vane mode can be selected by pressing the Autoand Standby buttons together, orii. selecting Wind vane mode from the modes menu: Menu> Mode > Wind vane.This will enable Wind vane mode and lock the current windangle. The display shows the locked heading (e.g. 128°)and the wind angle (e.g. WIND 145P indicates a wind angleof 145° to port).3. The autopilot will then adjust the vessel’s heading to maintainthe locked wind angle.Adjusting the locked wind angle1. You can adjust the locked wind angle by using the -1, +1,-10 and +10 buttons, or the ROTARY controller to changecourse. For example, to bear away by 10° when the boatis on a starboard tack:i. press -10 to turn the boat 10° to port – the locked windangle and locked heading will both change by 10°.ii. the autopilot will then adjust the locked heading asrequired to maintain the new wind angle.Note: Because turning the vessel affects the relationshipbetween the true and apparent wind angles, you should onlyuse this method to make minor adjustments to the wind angle.For major changes, return to STANDBY mode, steer onto thenew heading, then reselect Wind Vane mode. Refer to thep70 pilot controller installation instruction for the procedure forchanging the wind reference between True and Apparent.58 p70 / p70R
