"Standby" and "not ready" ("- - - - - - - -")

In general: "Standby" and "not ready" are no operation modes, but they are status of a
NautoPilot. This status is essential for a switching over to Autopilot control modes.
The status "Standby" and "not ready" are indicated at the top right corner of the Autopilot
display.
Standalone application:
If the status "Standby" is displayed in Autopilot Display and the Main Steering Switch is
switched into a switch position with Autopilot control, the NautoPilot is active at once in
"Heading control".
Attention: The NautoPilot starts to control at once (actual heading is set heading). This is
important to note especially during heading change.
AS application:
If the status "Standby" is displayed it means, that a NautoSteer System is active.
If manual mode ("Manual" is displayed at the top right corner) is active and the Main
Steering Switch is switched into position "AUTO" the status "Standby" is displayed at the
top right corner of the display and the NautoSteer System is ready for control.
The NautoPilot starts to control after the "Heading" button is pressed (actual heading is
set heading).
"- - - - - - - -" ("Not ready")
If a dotted line is displayed at the top right corner of the display the Autopilot cannot be
activated (neither in a Standalone application nor in an AS application).
It means, that the Autopilot is not able to perform any control function.
The reasons are for example "no heading input" or "no speed input", and are displayed
as an alert message (see section 6.2).
