Important
Do not use the pilot until it has been commissioned as
described in the ST70 Autopilot Controller / SmartPilot X Com-
missioning Instructions.
If you power up and a
CHOOSE LANGUAGE page is displayed,
the pilot has not been commissioned since it was installed, so

If you are in Auto mode, press to go to Standby mode.
To switch off your ST70 pilot, hold down for 1 second, to display the count-down popup,

When the SmartPilot is in Wind Vane mode it uses the wind angle as the primary heading ref-
erence. As changes in the true or apparent wind angle occur, it adjusts the locked heading to
maintain the original wind angle.
Selecting Wind Vane mode
You can select Wind Vane mode from either Standby or
Auto mode:
1. Steady the boat onto the required wind angle.
2. Press
MENU , then use < and > to select Wind Vane
mode and lock the current wind angle. The display
shows the locked heading (e.g. 128°) and the wind
angle (e.g.
WIND 145P indicates an wind angle of 145°
to port).
3. The SmartPilot will then adjust the boat’s heading to
maintain the locked wind angle.
Adjusting the locked wind angle
You can adjust the locked wind angle by using the 1 , +1 , 10 and +10 buttons to change
course. For example, to bear away by 10° when the boat is on a starboard tack:
•press
10 to turn the boat 10° to port – the locked wind angle and locked heading will both
change by 10°.
• the autopilot will then adjust the locked heading as required to maintain the new wind
angle.
