[CA] [CA11] P70s & P70RS Standbye Software fault

[paulinstone]

We have just been informed of the software fault with the P70's,

It has come to our attention that there is a small possibility that the lower keys on the Autopilot control unit could become inoperative and may interfere with the selection of STANDBY mode, preventing the Autopilot from becoming disengaged.

To prevent this unlikely situation, Raymarine has taken preventative action,

• There is new software available (version 3.08) to monitor the operation of the keypad and will reset the Autopilot to STANDBY mode if any false operation or intermittent operation occurs

We recommend that you update the software in all p70s and p70Rs control units to the latest current version, 3.08


Until we get the upgrade should the failure mode happen under way would switching off the autopilot disengage the autopilot drive and put the boat back into stand bye mode?

Thanks
Paul
