NMEA 0183 sentences (i.e. EWe and EWR) and the printer output are
changed to reflect the current crisis situation by also indicating the
bearing and range back to the MOB position (until the MOB is can-
celed). This way, other interfaced equipment can also help guide you
back to the MOB position. When the MOB condition is canceled, the
NMEA sentences will automatically revert to the active route infonna-
tion,
Don't forget to cancel the MOB so your interfaced equipment
will read the correct data!
The MOB function key and remote MOB input are disabled from sub-
sequent activation until Cancel MOB is selected.
Other functions such as Position and Navigate can still be accesscd;
however, the screen will revert to the MOB Plot screen after 30 sec-
onds.
To cancel an MOB condition, make sure you are in the MOB Plot
screen. Press the Ekey, then select the Cancel MOB softkey. Press E
again to exit the edit mode.

The MX420/8 is capable of performing the MOB function from a re-
mote contact closure input via Cable B "MOB/Event" wire shared with
the Mark input. If the contact closure is made for less than 2 seconds,
the input is registered as a Mark Position. If the contact closure is
made for more than 2 seconds, the input is registered as a MOB Posi-
tion. Refer to the Installation & Service manual for wiring interface
instructions.
