PRODUCT INSTALLATION AND OPERATIONeng 15 Operating the Pinpoint GPS SystemPINPOINT GPS STARTUPThe global positioning system (GPS) is a satellite‑based navigationsystem capable of providing positional information anywhere onEarth, provided that the GPS receiver has a clear line of sight to atleast four GPS satellites.When the trolling motor is powered up and deployed, it is immediatelycapable of operating as a conventional trolling motor. The trollingmotor will require approximately 30 seconds to acquire a fixed GPSposition. Having a clear view of the sky overhead, with no large trees,power lines, bridges, or buildings to interfere with the GPS signal, willimprove the GPS accuracy and reduce the amount of time required toobtain a fixed GPS position. Once the unit has acquired a fixed GPSposition, the GPS accuracy will continually improve for severalminutes. It is recommended to power up the trolling motor as soon aspossible before operation to allow the fixed GPS position to becomeas accurate as possible.Power up the trolling motor by connecting the battery cables to thetrolling motor batteries, or plugging the trolling motor into the trollingmotor power plug (if equipped). The trolling motor will emit audiosignals to make the operator aware of its status.• The trolling motor will emit one beep when it is powered up.• The trolling motor will emit a three‑beep tune once it hasacquired a fixed GPS position, and the GPS status indicator lightwill illuminate.OPERATING IN MANUAL MODEIn manual mode, the trolling motor operates like a conventionaltrolling motor. It allows the operator to manually control the directionof travel and thrust level of the trolling motor, using the directionalcontrols on the handheld remote or wireless foot pedal. Refer to thefollowing illustration and instructions to operate the trolling motor inmanual mode with the handheld remote.
PRODUCT INSTALLATION AND OPERATION 16 engOnce the trolling motor is powered up, it is ready to operate in manualmode. Manual mode is the default mode after power‑up, and also ifthe GPS signal is lost while in a GPS operating mode. The trollingmotor will emit one beep to indicate its status in manual mode. Toenter manual mode from another mode, press the manual modebutton.a - Left turnb - Propeller on/offc - Increase speedd - Right turne - Manual modef - Decrease speedTurning the Handheld Remote On or OffThe handheld remote is always on, and is ready for use anytime thatthe trolling motor is powered up and in the deployed position.Steering•To turn left, press the left turn button on the handheld remote.•To turn right, press the right turn button.• The available steering range allows the trolling motor to turnbeyond 180° for operation in reverse.Speed Control•Press the propeller on/off button once to start the propeller, andpress the propeller on/off button again to stop the propeller.• The trolling motor will emit a two‑beep tone when the propeller isstarted, and the propeller status indicator light on the trollingmotor will illuminate.• The trolling motor will emit a two‑beep tone when the propeller isstopped, and the propeller status indicator light will turn off.a53017bcdef
PRODUCT INSTALLATION AND OPERATIONeng 17 •The system is equipped with 20 speed levels. Press the increasespeed (+) button to increase motor speed by one level, andpress the decrease speed (–) button to reduce the motor speedby one level.•Holding the increase speed (+) or decrease speed (–) buttonswill cause the speed level to increase or decrease until the speedlevel is reached. Holding the increase speed (+) or decreasespeed (–) button for 2.5 seconds will increase the speed levelfrom 0% to 100%, or decrease from 100% to 0%, respectively.The trolling motor will emit two beeps when it reaches the 100%or 0% speed level.• The trolling motor will emit two beeps if the user tries to increaseor decrease the motor speed beyond its limits.OPERATING IN ANCHOR MODEAnchor mode allows the boat's bow to remain in a fixed location, andwill automatically account for wind and current changes to keep theboat in the selected location, using the trolling motor steering andspeed controls. In order for anchor mode to operate, the PinpointGPS system must have achieved a fixed GPS location, indicated bythe trolling motor emitting a three‑beep tune, and the GPS statusindicator light will illuminate.

OWNER SERVICE ASSISTANCE 32 engFrequently Asked Questions and TroubleshootingThis section is focused on questions and troubleshooting advice forthe Pinpoint GPS. Refer to Section 6—Owner Service Assistancein the Xi5 Wireless Owners and Installation Manual for trollingmotor troubleshooting assistance.Why does the trolling motor emit a tune a few moments after Ipower it up?The GPS has acquired a fixed position. Refer to Section 2—PinpointGPS Startup.When I recall a stored anchor position, the trolling motor emitsan error tone and will not navigate to my anchor position. Why isthat?The anchor position you chose to recall is over one mile away fromyour current location, or the system has not acquired a fixed GPSposition. Refer to Section 2—Operating in Anchor Mode.When I try to recall a stored route, the trolling motor emits anerror tone and will not navigate along my route. Why is that?You are more than one mile away from the nearest point on theselected route, or the system has not acquired a fixed GPS position.Refer to Section 2—Operating in Route Mode.Why did the handheld remote stop working?Several conditions can cause the handheld remote to stop working.Verify that the trolling motor is locked in the deployed position. Cyclethe trolling motor power off, then back on. Finally, check the battery inthe handheld remote and replace it if necessary.The Pinpoint GPS will not store an anchor point, recall a route,or hold a heading lock. Why is that?The GPS has not acquired a fixed GPS position. Allow at least 60seconds for the GPS system to acquire a fixed GPS position. Listenfor a three‑beep tune, and also look for the GPS status indicator lightto illuminate, indicating that the system has acquired a fixed GPSposition.
