instructions contained in this handbook. Failure to do so could result in poor product performance, personal injury and/or damage to your boat. Before installing the SmartController and basestation, check that they are the correct voltage for your boat’s supply. As correct performance of the boat’s steering is critical for safety, we STRONGLY RECOMMEND that an Authorized Raymarine Service Representative fits this product. WARNING: Electrical safety Make sure the power supply is switched off before you make any electrical connections. WARNING: Calibration We supply this product calibrated to default settings that should provide initial stable performance for most boats. To ensure optimum performance on your boat, you must complete the AutoLearn procedure as described in your autopilot handbook. WARNING: Navigation aid Although we have designed this product to be accurate and reliable, many factors can affect its performance. As a result, it should only be used as an aid to navigation and should never replace common sense and navigational judgement. Always maintain a permanent watch so you can respond to situations as they develop.

If the wireless controller is your only method of operating the autopilot, ensure that your system includes a readily accessible method of switching off the autopilot power supply. Your SmartController will add a new dimension to your boating enjoyment. However, it is the skipper’s responsibility to ensure the safety of the boat at all times by following these basic rules: • Ensure that someone is present at the helm AT ALL TIMES, to take manual control in an emergency. • Make sure that all members of crew know how to disengage the autopilot. • Regularly check for other boats and any obstacles to navigation – no matter how clear the sea may appear, a dangerous situation can develop rapidly. • Maintain an accurate record of the boat’s position by using either a navigation aid or visual bearings. • Maintain a continuous plot of your boat’s position on a current chart. Ensure that the locked autopilot heading will steer the boat clear of all obstacles. Make proper allowance for tidal set – the autopilot cannot. • Even when your autopilot is locked onto the desired track using a navigation aid, always maintain a log and make regular positional plots. Navigation signals can produce significant errors under some circumstances and the autopilot will not be able to detect these errors. General Care and Safety Do not leave the controller in places where the temperature could exceed 60ºC (140ºF). Do not attempt to dismantle the SmartController or any of its accessories.
