Question on i-Pilot remote, I just got around

**maachuu** · 02-19-2010, 10:13 AM

to messing with my ipilot but dont have it mounted yet. my question is about the remote itself, when I press a button on the remote the display lights up then goes back off, is this normal since I dont have the head connected to my motor ? also has anybody every changed the battery on the remote, what size ? I glanced at the manual this morning before I left for work but didnt see anything about changing the battery.

thanks

That's the normal response when the i-Pilot control head is not powered (installed and motor deployed). It prevents the battery from wearing out.

Battery is a CR2450 coin cell. Pick you up a spare to keep on the boat
