2.2 Turning On/Off
Press the [POWER/BRILL] key to turn the unit on before leaving the port,
because several minutes are necessary to allow for stabilization of the heading
data from the heading sensor. (For PG-500, see Note 2 shown below.) A beep
sounds and the equipment proceeds in the sequence shown below, displaying
product information and startup test results. The startup test checks the ROM,
RAM, backed up data and communication between the control unit and
processor unit for proper operation. Also it checks the inputs of heading signal
and rudder angle signal for the processor unit. If NG appears an appropriate
message appears on the screen. For any NG, try to press any key to go to the
next screen. However, the equipment may not work properly. Contact your
dealer for advice.

Startup sequence
After the startup test is completed, “STBY” appears on the screen. This means
the equipment may now be operated manually.
Note 1: The first time you turn on the power, you are asked if you want to start
the simulation mode, which provides simulated operation of the
equipment. Push the [ENTER] knob to start the simulation mode, or any
key to escape. If you pressed a key except the [ENTER] knob, you are
asked if you want to set the installation menu. Press the [ENTER] knob
to go to the installation menu, or any key to go to STBY. For details
about the installation menu, contact your dealer.
Note 2: When the Integrated Heading Sensor PG-500 is connected, press the
[POWER/BRILL] key four minutes before leaving the port to use the
AUTO mode which needs stabilized bearing data.
Turning the power off
Press and hold down the [POWER/BRILL] key until the screen goes blank. The
time remaining until the power is turned off is shown on the screen.
