Notes !

1. If you are in NAV or WIND modes you need not enter AUTO

mode to manually change the parameter set. Just make a
quick double press on the AUTO button.

2. The manually selected setting (HI or LO) will override the

automatic selection and remain in effect until you re-enter
any automatic mode from STBY.

2.11 U-Turn

This feature is very useful in a man overboard situation and
whenever you want to steer back on a reciprocal heading.

U-Turn changes the current set course to be 180 degrees in the
opposite direction. The user must decide whether the U-Turn
should be made to Port or Starboard when bringing the boat on
the new course. U-Turn is activated by a quick press on the
TURN/DODGE/INFO button. The autopilot will continue on
the set course until you press either the PORT or STBD button
to select the direction to make the U-Turn. If you do not press
PORT or STBD within 1 minute, the autopilot will return to the
AUTO mode and stay on course.
