MOB (Man-Over-Board)/Mark key

Marking or saving the present position into waypoint memory is accomplished by pressing
the MOB key momentarily. The marked point can be renamed or edited thereafter and be
made into a regular waypoint if needed.
If an emergency man over board situation should occur, you can position a Man Over Board
mark at the vessel's current position by pressing the MOB key for 3 seconds. When you acti-
vate the MOB function the following actions are automatically performed:
• A MOB mark is positioned at the vessel's position.
• The display switches to NAV screen showing the range and bearing going back to the MOB
point.
• The MX610/MX612 creates an active route to the MOB mark.
¼ Note: Press the AIS/PLOT key to show the relative location of the MOB point from your ves-
sel.
Cancel MOB navigation
The MX610/MX612 will continue navigating towards the MOB point until you cancel this
navigation. To cancel MOB, press the MENU key, highlight "Cancel navigation" then press the
ENT key. Press any hot key to exit.
Delete a MOB mark
A MOB mark is deleted by selecting the MOB mark in the WPT list and then pressing the
MENU key and selecting delete. It can also be deleted as described in "Waypoints, Routes &
Tracks" on page 40.
