Choosing True Or Relative Bearing - Furuno FA Manual

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 CURSOR BEARING and then push the
wheel or the left button.
4. Roll the wheel to choose REL or TRUE as appropriate and then push the
wheel or the left button.
5. Push the right button twice to close the menu.
Note: When the gyrocompass heading changes, the EBL and its indication
change as follows:
Head-up, relative: EBL indication and EBL remain unchanged.
Head-up, true: EBL indication remains the same; EBL moves.
Course-up, true: EBL indication and EBL remain unchanged.
North-up, true: EBL indication and EBL remain unchanged.
