minnkotamotors.com This section describes all Manual Control functions of i-Pilot. A manual function is one in which the operator takes full control of the function such as manually steering the motor in a desired direction or manually adjusting the prop speed to the desired setting. Any of these functions do not require a GPS signal. How Do I . . . Turn the Motor On/Off? Motor On/Off To turn the motor on or off press . The prop icon on the LCD will be on if the prop is enabled and off if the prop is disabled. With the prop enabled, the icon will be stationary if the motor speed is zero and the icon will rotate if the motor speed is greater than zero. MANUAL CONTROL FUNCTIONALITY 38 minnkotamotors.com Prop EnabledMotor Speed Greater Than Zero Pressing the MOM or CON button on the foot pedal will adjust the motor speed setting to the foot pedal speed setting. minnkotamotors.com How Do I . . . Control Motor Speed? Motor Speed Control Increase Motor Speed To increase the motor speed push on the remote. Each push of will increment the motor speed by ½ to a maximum of 10. Decrease Motor Speed To decrease the motor speed push on the remote. Each push of will decrement the motor speed by ½ to a minimum of 0. The remote LCD will display the current motor speed setting. This is not to be confused with the GPS speed which is also displayed on the remote LCD. MANUAL CONTROL 39 minnkotamotors.com Motor SpeedGPS Speed While the MOM button is pressed on the foot pedal, all speed and prop changes from the i-Pilot remote are ignored. minnkotamotors.com How Do I . . . Steer the Motor? Motor Steering Control Steer Left To steer the motor to the left press . Steer right To steer the motor to the right press . If a steering button is held down for more than six to eight seconds, the steering will stop to prevent the coil cord from wrapping on the motor. 40 minnkotamotors.com minnkotamotors.com MANUAL CONTROL 41 minnkotamotors.com How Do I . . .

LCD Backlight Button To turn on LCD backlighting press and release . The backlight will turn off eight seconds after the last button press to conserve battery power. minnkotamotors.com UNDERSTANDING HOW THE I-PILOT SYSTEM WORKS Navigation i-Pilot uses GPS satellite signals as well as digital compass data to know where it is, where it is heading and the direction the motor is pointing. Since i-Pilot depends on GPS satellite signals for navigation, a minimum GPS signal level of one bar is required in order for GPS navigation controls to be enabled. Best results are achieved when a GPS signal level of four bars can be obtained. In simple terms, i-Pilot remembers and creates points to navigate your boat automatically. i-Pilot also uses a method of GPS navigation called arrival circles. These imaginary circles allow i-Pilot to understand when it has drifted away from a point and when it has arrived at a point. The size of the arrival circles vary depending on GPS signal strength, thus the greater the signal strength the smaller the arrival circles. Tracks Tracks are made of many points that i-Pilot records when recording a track. The distance between these points varies based on GPS signal strength and the speed at which you record the track. When a track is played back, i-Pilot uses the track points and arrival circles to navigate the track. 42 minnkotamotors.com minnkotamotors.com GPS MOTOR CONTROL Memory i-Pilot has the capability of storing up to six individual tracks (each two miles in length) and six individual Spot Lock locations. These locations are stored in memory even when power is removed from the system. Spot Lock and Track memory locations are separate from each other and they cannot over write each other. Memory locations are identifi ed on the remote LCD with an icon shown as A, B, C, D, E or F. When the memory icon is fl ashing, a different location can be selected by pressing or . 43 minnkotamotors.com minnkotamotors.com Spot Lock Spot Lock uses a single point as a reference for the spot you want to stay on. This point is recorded and stored into one of the six memory locations when the Spot Lock button is pushed. Around the Spot Lock location i-Pilot uses an arrival circle to determine prop speed and direction. If i-Pilot sees it is within the circle, it will adjust the motor speed to zero. If i-Pilot sees it is outside of the circle, it will control motor speed in an attempt to get the boat back into the circle. HOW SPOT LOCK WORKS 44 minnkotamotors.com minnkotamotors.com SPOT LOCK 45 minnkotamotors.com minnkotamotors.com ENGAGING SPOT LOCK 1. Press on the remote. 2.
