- Important Safety and Product Information
This applies to Panoptix transducers with an internal
compass, such as the PS21-TR transducer.
Orientation: Controls if the transducer is in down or forward
installation mode. The Auto setting uses the AHRS sensor to
determine the orientation.
This applies to PS22 and LiveScope transducers.
Focus: Adjusts the sonar view to compensate for the speed of
sound in water. The Auto setting uses the temperature of the
water to calculate the speed of sound.
This applies to LiveScope transducers.
Restore Sonar Defaults: Restores the sonar settings to the
factory default values.
Setting the Bow Offset
For forward view Panoptix transducers, you can enter a bow
offset to compensate the forward distance readings for the
transducer installation location. This allows you to view the
forward distance from the bow instead of the transducer
installation location.
This feature applies to Panoptix transducers in the FrontVü,
LiveVü Forward, and RealVü 3D Forward sonar views.
1
Measure the horizontal distance from the transducer to the
bow.
2
From an applicable sonar view, select MENU > Sonar Setup
> Installation > Bow Offset.
3
Enter the distance measured, and select Done.
On the applicable sonar view, the forward range shifts by the
distance you entered.
Autopilot
WARNING
You can use the autopilot feature only at a station installed next
to a helm, throttle, and helm control device.
You are responsible for the safe and prudent operation of your
vessel. The autopilot is a tool that enhances your capability to
operate your boat. It does not relieve you of the responsibility of
safely operating your boat. Avoid navigational hazards and
never leave the helm unattended.
Always be prepared to promptly regain manual control of your
boat.
Learn to operate the autopilot on calm and hazard-free open
water.
Use caution when operating the autopilot near hazards in the
water, such as docks, pilings, and other boats.
NOTE: This feature is only available on models with NMEA
2000 network capabilities.
The autopilot system continuously adjusts the steering of your
boat to maintain a constant heading (heading hold). The system
also allows manual steering and several modes of automatic-
steering functions and patterns.
When the compatible chartplotter is connected to a compatible
Garmin autopilot system, you can engage and control the
autopilot from the chartplotter.
For information about compatible Garmin autopilot systems, go
to garmin.com.

Intended heading (heading the autopilot is steering toward)
Actual heading (when in standby mode)

Rudder position indicator (This functionality is available only when a
rudder sensor is connected.)
Adjusting the Step Steering Increment
1
From the Autopilot screen, select MENU > Autopilot Setup >
Step Turn Size.
2
Select an increment.
Setting the Power Saver
You can adjust the level of rudder activity.
1
From the autopilot screen, select MENU > Autopilot Setup >
Power Mode Setup > Power Saver.
2
Select a percentage.
Selecting a higher percentage reduces rudder activity and
heading performance. The higher the percentage, the more
the course deviates before the autopilot corrects it.
TIP: In choppy conditions at low speeds, increasing the
Power Saver percentage reduces rudder activity.
Selecting the Preferred Heading Source
NOTICE
For best results, use the autopilot CCU internal compass for the
heading source. Using a third-party GPS compass can cause
the data to be delivered erratically and may result in excessive
delays. The autopilot needs timely information, and therefore
cannot often use third-party GPS compass data for GPS
location or speed. If a third-party GPS compass is used, the
autopilot will likely report loss of navigation data and speed
source periodically.
If you have more than one heading source on the network, you
can select a your preferred source. The source could be a
compatible GPS compass or a magnetic heading sensor.
1
From the autopilot screen, select MENU > Autopilot Setup >
Preferred Sources
2
Select a source.
If the selected heading source is unavailable, the autopilot
screen does not display any data.
