CAUTION! Some autopilots try to steer your vessel according
to any bearing changes made by the 961/
962—regardless of the severity of the change.
Other autopilots automatically disengage when a
severe or abrupt turn is required. For information
about implementing MOB while using an autopilot,
refer to your autopilot's manual.
Each press of the IN key zooms in to double the chart scale;
each press of the OUT key zooms out to halve the chart scale.
The CURSOR PAD is located in the lower right-hand corner,
and has two similar functions; how you use the CURSOR PAD
depends on what function you're performing on the CHART
screen or other screens. If you're navigating on the CHART
screen, the CURSOR PAD is used to move the on-screen
square cursor to designate a position on the chart. If you're at
other screens, however, the CURSOR PAD is used to highlight
different selections of data.
On the CHART screen, you can move the CURSOR PAD in an
up-to-down, left-to-right, or diagonal direction. You can move
the cursor diagonally by pressing between any two of its arrow
indicators. The longer you hold the CURSOR PAD, the faster
the cursor moves. To carefully move the cursor small
distances on the CHART screen, the easiest way is to place
your thumb in the center of the CURSOR PAD and gently
push left, right, up, or down. This method gives much finer
control than poking at the edge of the CURSOR PAD.
