AUTO-WORK Mode

To enter the User Set-up menu when in AUTO-WORK mode,
quickly double press the NAV button.
The User Set-up menu for the AUTO-WORK is identical to the
AUTO mode User Set-up menu, except that you have the option
to select separate AUTO-WORK values for Seastate filter,
Rudder, Counter Rudder and RateOfTurn/Radius. Move
through the menu item by pressing the Port and Stbd buttons.
Use the course knob to change value.
These values are stored in the AP50 memory and are
automatically recalled when returning to AUTO-WORK mode.
Use the course knob to adjust the trim value, if needed. The
manual trim setting compensates for the Autotrim, which takes
time to execute the appropriate rudder offset.
Note that the Trim setting is not stored.
The Off Heading Limit setting is not available in Auto-Work
mode.
The values for Rudder and Counter Rudder will have an effect
on the vessel's steering characteristics independent of which
steering function is selected (rudder, thruster, or rudder and
thruster).
