Looking for some help. Deployed the TM last Sunday, it powered up fine with no issues and ran great. About 30 minutes into the trip, I hit the spot-lock on the pedal and got a strange sound. I then looked at the panel and saw the light wasn’t on for the gps. I unplugged the unit, thinking the unit might reset and again deployed the TM. Once again, the light on the TM panel wasn’t lit up for gps. Is their a reset or re-calibration to get the spot lock to work or is the GPS module toast? Any ideas or advise would be very helpful. Thanks in advance.
I had to do this with my Xi3:
COMPASS CALIBRATION
IMPORTANT: This calibration is completed at the factory. It should only be repeated
if the Pinpoint GPS system is not responding properly. This calibration must be done
with the boat in the water, using the primary propulsion engine.
IMPORTANT: A fixed GPS position is required to complete the compass calibration.
The Xi5 will emit an audible tune once it has acquired a fixed GPS position (in the
default audio mode), and the GPS status indicator light will illuminate.
1. Locate a suitable area clear of obstructions to navigation (both above and below
the waterline) to perform the compass calibration.
2. Deploy the trolling motor. Verify that you are in a location where your trolling
motor and primary propulsion engine will not hit bottom or other obstructions.
3. Press and hold the manual mode button, then press 1, 1, 1. The trolling motor
will emit three ascending‑tone beeps.
4. Use the primary propulsion engine to slowly drive the boat in two complete
circles. The trolling motor will emit a tune when the compass calibration is
complete.
RESET TO FACTORY CALIBRATION
To reset the trolling motor to the factory calibration, press and hold the manual mode
button, then press 1, 1, 4.
