CONNECTION
1. DIRECT CONNECTION (without a foot pedal): Connect the signal cable of the heading sensor directly to
the connection terminal at the base of the trolling motor. This terminal is the same cable that connects to
an optional foot pedal.
2. SPLITTER CABLE CONNECTION (For use with a foot pedal): If your motor only has one connection
terminal and you require a splitter cable contact Angler Central Service
Centre:www.anglerscentral.com.au Connect the single terminal of the splitter cable directly to the
connection terminal at the base of the trolling motor. Then connect the foot pedal cable to one branch of
the splitter cable and connect the heading sensor cable to the remaining terminal.

OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS
1. DEPLOYMENT: Ensure that the helix wire is not wrapped around the motor shaft or twisted when
lowering into the water. Turn on the trolling motor and the heading sensor will be operational.
2. UNTWISTING FUNCTION: If the helix wire rotates more than 360 ° in the same direction when using
the course-fix, heading-fix, automatic navigation and anchor mode, the heading sensor will initiate an
untwisting operation. During this operation, the motor will temporarily stop and untwist. The electric
motor resumes operation upon completion.
3. JOG FUNCTION: When the trolling motor is in anchor mode, the user can press the acceleration
(forwards), deceleration (backwards), turn left (left), and turn right (right) buttons on the remote control
to operate and direct the jog function. The four jog directions act as coordinates relative to the current
boat direction. With each press, the trolling motor moves in 1.5-metre increments. The user can press
the same direction continuously to accumulate a distance of up to 15 metres.
