Cleaning the tiller pilot
• If the tiller pilot is dirty, wipe it with a clean, damp cloth.
• Never use chemical or abrasive materials to clean the tiller pilot.
EMC advice
• When powered up, all electrical equipment produces electromagnetic fields.
These can cause adjacent pieces of electrical equipment to interact with one
another, with a consequent adverse effect on operation.
• To minimize these effects and enable you to get the best possible perfor-
mance from your Raymarine equipment, guidelines are given in the installa-
tion instructions, to enable you to ensure minimum interaction between
different items of equipment, i.e. ensure optimum Electromagnetic Compati-
bility (EMC).
• Always report any EMC-related problems to your nearest Raymarine dealer.
We use such information to improve our quality standards.
• In some installations, it may not be possible to prevent the equipment from
being affected by external influences. In general this will not damage the
