3. Rotate the [ENTER] knob to select FULL-AUTO, SEMI-AUTO, MANUAL-CALM,
MANUAL-MODERATE or MANUAL-ROUGH as appropriate, and then press the
[ENTER] knob.
FULL-AUTO: Auto adjustment and self-learning are on.
SEMI-AUTO: Auto adjustment is on, self-learning is off.
MANUAL-CALM: Self-learning is off, using the parameter selected for calm sea.
MANUAL-MODERATE: Self-learning is off, using the parameter selected for normal sea
state.
MANUAL-ROUGH: Self-learning is off, using the parameter selected for rough sea.
When you want to use the NAVpilot-500 with the experience-related parameters, choose the
SEMI-AUTO option.
However, note that the course keeping quality may be decreased if the sea state is different
from that in the experience-related parameters.
In that case we recommend that you set the autopilot in the FULL-AUTO option.
For MANUAL-CALM, MODERATE or ROUGH, set MANUAL PARAMETER shown on next
page.

may be changed frequently.
