The TR-1 Gold or Gladiator Autopilot occasionally isn't receiving commands from a wireless remote
If the TR-1 Gold autopilot will occasionally not receive a command from the wireless remote, the issue may not be a bad wireless remote.
The first troubleshooting step is to ensure the Wireless Receiver Antenna is mounted in an appropriate location. Take care not to mount it behind metallic surfaces or in an enclosed area.
The second troubleshooting step is to re-program the receiver antenna for this particular remote. Please follow these instructions to reprogram the devices:
- With the autopilot turned OFF, press the deckmount switch to turn the autopilot ON
- When the deckmount switch starts to flash, press and hold any button on the wireless remote for 6 seconds.
This will tell the receiver box to accept signals from your coded remote. Sometimes they can "drift off frequency" and this will take care of the issue.
