TURN Mode

The TURN mode provides three preset turning motions: 180°, 360°, and User. These
turns are available in the AUTO mode and in clockwise and counterclockwise direc-
tions.
For the User turn, you can confirm and change the parameters of the turn before you
do the turn. If confirmation or change is not necessary in these turns, simply push the
Course control knob after selecting the turn with the TURN key.
This function is not available when [BOAT CHARACTERISTICS] (on the Installation
menu) is set for [SAILBOAT].
