GARMIN REACTOR™ Autopilot Remote Manual
Important Safety Information
WARNING
See the Important Safety and Product Information guide in the product box for product warnings and other important information.
You are responsible for the safe and prudent operation of your vessel. The autopilot is a tool that enhances your capability to operate your boat. It does not relieve you of the responsibility of safely operating your boat. Avoid navigational hazards and never leave the helm unattended.
Always be prepared to promptly regain manual control of your boat.
Learn to operate the autopilot on calm and hazard-free open water.
Use caution when operating the autopilot near hazards in the water, such as docks, pilings, and other boats.
Getting Started
Installing Batteries
The remote control operates using two AA batteries (not included). Use lithium batteries for best results.
- Turn the D-ring counter-clockwise, and pull up to remove the cover.
- Insert two AA batteries, observing polarity.
- Replace the battery cover, and turn the D-ring clockwise.
Attaching a Lanyard
- Starting from the back of the remote control, insert the loop of the lanyard through the slot.
- Thread the other end of the lanyard through the loop, and pull it tight.

Installing the Cradle
You can install the included cradle to hold the remote control when not in use.
