This remote is compatible with Terrova and Legacy Terrova motors. Installation instructions vary depending on the year your motor was
manufactured. Before installing the CoPilot Receiver, determine which year your motor was manufactured. Minn Kota recommends
looking at the trolling motor serial number to determine the year of manufacture. Review
the "INTRODUCTION" of your trolling motor manual to determine the location of your serial
number. Motors manufactured in 2017 have a serial number that begins with the letter R.
Serial Numbers starting with a letter before R in the alphabet were manufactured prior to
2017. Motors manufactured in 2017 will also have a model
name on the serial number tag that includes "BT." Be sure
to follow the correct Installation Instructions and proceed
to either the"Installing the CoPilot Receiver for Motors
Manufactured 2016 or Prior" section of this manual or
"Installing the CoPilot Receiver for Motors Manufactured 2017 or After."

Prop ON/OFFProp ON/OFF
Prop ON/OFF
This button is located in the middle of the remote. It turns the propeller on or off. Press the button once to turn the propeller ON; press
button a second time to turn it OFF. The button does not need to be held down.
Steer Left & Steer Right
These buttons are located to the right and left of the Prop ON/OFF button and have an arrow symbol. They cause the motor to turn in
the desired direction as long as the button is held down. If the Steer Right or Steer Left button is held for more than seven seconds, the
steering will automatically stop until the button is pressed again.
Increase Speed & Decrease Speed
The Increase Speed and Decrease Speed buttons are located above the Prop ON/OFF button and are identified with a positive and
negative symbol. Pressing and releasing these buttons causes the speed to increase or decrease by increments of 1. The speed is
adjustable from level 0-10. At level 0, the prop will not turn.
In audio mode 2, an audible beep is heard for each increment when changing speed. Attempting to go higher than speed 10 or lower
than speed 0 will result in the speed not changing and no beep will be heard. See the Audio Mode section for more information.
If the receiver senses no foot pedal or remote operation for 1 hour, the remote speed setting is automatically set to zero. This helps
prevent unintentional activation of the propeller if the prop on/off remote button is inadvertently pressed.
Autopilot On/Off
The AutoPilot button is located on the top right side of the remote. It functions to turn AutoPilot on or off. The button does not need to
be held down. If the motor does not have AutoPilot, the AUTOPILOT ON/OFF button will be non-functional.
CONTROLLING THE MOTOR WITH COPILOT
Review the complete CoPilot section of this manual to become familiar with this feature. For more information on CoPilot or for
additional product support, please visit minnkotamotors.com.

COPILOT
High Speed Bypass
The High Speed Bypass button is located on the top left side of the remote. It toggles the speed between the current speed setting
and the maximum speed setting (level 10). Pressing the button sets the motor at speed 10 instantly; pressing the button again sets the
motor speed back to the previous speed setting.
COPILOT GENERAL OPERATION
Operating with the Remote and Foot Pedal
• The CoPilot and foot pedal can be used for motor control simultaneously.
• The foot pedal and CoPilot remote operate on a first-in-line priority basis. If a button is pressed and held down on the foot pedal
and a button with the same function is then pressed on the remote, the foot pedal will have priority. The remote would have priority
if the remote was first to send the command.
• Multiple functions can be performed at the same time. For instance, AutoPilot can be turned on or off from the remote while speed
is being adjusted on the foot pedal. If the momentary button is being held down on the corded foot pedal, steering adjustments
can be made at the same time from the remote.
• When the momentary button is being held down on the foot pedal, speed increase/decrease and prop on/off will not function on
the remote.
• When the foot pedal has priority over the remote and remote commands are received, the receiver will emit an audible chirp. This
will indicate that the remote is functioning properly however the foot pedal is taking priority.
Operating without the Foot Pedal
• If the foot pedal is not being used, the CoPilot receiver will always react to any commands from the CoPilot remote.

COPILOT
ADDING/REMOVING REMOTES
The CoPilot remote came from the factory already "Learned" by the CoPilot receiver. Any additional remotes must be "Learned" by the
receiver. The receiver stores all "Learned" information even when the motor is disconnected from a power source.
Your receiver may learn up to ten remotes. Any additional remotes can be "Learned" using the following steps. This will also work to
"Learn" any remote if all remotes are erased from the receiver.
To "Learn" Remotes
To Erase All Remotes from the Receiver
a. Using a small blunt object such as a pen or
screwdriver, press and hold the Learn Button
located on the side of the receiver.
b. The receiver will emit a continuous tone.
a. Remove power from the CoPilot receiver by
disconnecting the Power Cables, or by making sure
that the breaker, if equipped, is "off."
c. Press any button on the remote.
d. The receiver will beep 4 times confirming that it has
“Learned” the remote successfully.
NOTICE: "Learning" the same remote will not
overwrite previously “Learned” remotes. If the
receiver has “Learned” ten remotes, “Learning" an
eleventh remote will overwrite the first remote.

b. Press and hold the Learn Button and power up the
CoPilot receiver by reconnecting the Power Cables, or
by making sure that the breaker, if equipped, is "on."
c. Continue to hold the Learn Button down for 10
seconds. During this time the receiver audio will
emit a warble sound, slowly transition to a constant
beep and then shut off.
d. Release the Learn Button and the receiver will
reboot. The receiver will emit a 2 second long beep
indicating memory is empty. This audio pattern
will occur each time the receiver powers up until a
remote is "Learned."
REPLACING THE BATTERY
a. Temporarily ground yourself by touching a grounded
metal object in order to discharge any static
electricity in your body.
NOTICE: The replacement battery must be a model
CR2032 coin cell type. It is strongly recommended that
a name brand battery is used.
d. To remove the Battery, place the tip of a finger or
thumb under the exposed edge of the Battery and
pry it upwards.
e. Install the new battery with the positive (+) side
of the Battery facing up and away from the Circuit
Board. Ensure Battery is snapped securely in place.

ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE STATEMENT
It is the intention of JOME to be a responsible corporate citizen, operating in compliance with known and applicable environmental
regulations, and a good neighbor in the communities where we make or sell our products.
WEEE DIRECTIVE
EU Directive 2002/96/EC “Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE)” impacts most distributors, sellers, and
manufacturers of consumer electronics in the European Union. The WEEE Directive requires the producer of consumer electronics to
take responsibility for the management of waste from their products to achieve environmentally responsible disposal during the product
life cycle.
WEEE compliance may not be required in your location for electrical & electronic equipment (EEE), nor may it be required for EEE
designed and intended as fixed or temporary installation in transportation vehicles such as automobiles, aircraft, and boats. In some
European Union member states, these vehicles are considered outside of the scope of the Directive, and EEE for those applications can
be considered excluded from the WEEE Directive requirement.
This symbol (WEEE wheelie bin) on product indicates the product must not be disposed of with other household
refuse. It must be disposed of and collected for recycling and recovery of waste EEE. Johnson Outdoors Inc. will mark
all EEE products in accordance with the WEEE Directive. It is our goal to comply in the collection, treatment, recovery,
and environmentally sound disposal of those products; however, these requirements do vary within European Union
member states. For more information about where you should dispose of your waste equipment for recycling and
recovery and/or your European Union member state requirements, please contact your dealer or distributor from which
your product was purchased.
