2. FI-505 COURSE PILOT

In the unlocked mode, the digital display 
shows the current heading, true or magnetic, 
and the pointer is at zero. The unit always 
starts up in the unlocked mode.

In the locked mode, the operator sets a fixed 
(locked) heading, with the arrow keys. The 
digital display shows either locked heading or 
current heading, depending on calibration set-
ting. The pointer shows the difference be-
tween the locked heading and the actual 
course being steered; that is, heading error. 

You can switch between the unlock mode and the locked mode with the 
ENT key.

 When you enter the locked mode, the current heading becomes the 
locked heading. Then, the digital display shows locked heading or cur-
rent heading, depending on the setup1 menu setting. To change the 
locked heading, use the W key to shift the heading leftward.

The average heading indication can be reset with the X/CLEAR key. 
Press and hold down the key. A short beep sounds, the indication flashes 
twice and then a long beep sounds to indicate that resetting is complet-
ed.
