1.21.2 Choosing true or relative bearing

The EBL readout is affixed by “R.” (relative) if it is relative to own ship's
heading, ”T.” (true) if it is referenced to the north. You may choose relative or true
in the head-up modes; in all other modes it is always TRUE.

To choose bearing reference in the head-up mode, do the following:

1. Roll the trackball to choose the MENU box and then push the left button to

open the MAIN menu.

2. Roll the wheel to choose 2 MARK and then push the wheel or the left button

to open the MARK menu.

3. Roll the wheel to choose 9 [EBL, VRM, CURSOR SET] (B, C and W types)
