test checks the ROM, RAM, backed up data and communication between the

Startup sequence
After the startup test is completed, “STBY” appears on the screen. This means
that the equipment may now be operated manually by pressing the PORT /
STBD buttons.
Note 1: The first time you turn on the power, you are asked which mode is used
from among Normal, Installation and Simulation. Rotate the course
control knob to select the appropriate mode, and then press the knob.
Note 2: When the Integrated Heading Sensor PG-500 is connected, turn on the
NAVpilot-500 and wait four minutes before leaving port in order to allow
time for the PG-500 heading data to stabilize.
Turning the power off
Press and hold down the [POWER/BRILL] key until the screen goes blank.
