3.6 Entering the MOB Mark

The MOB mark denotes man overboard po-
sition. To mark man overboard position, press
the [EVENT MOB] key. When the key is
pressed, the position at the exact moment the
key is pressed automatically becomes the des-
tination. Further, the Plotter 1 display replaces
the display in use when it is other than a plot-
ter display.
Only one MOB mark may be entered, and
each time the MOB mark is entered the pre-
vious MOB mark and its position data are
written over.
Note: The MOB mark cannot be entered when
there is no position data. When this occurs, the
buzzer sounds and the message shown below
appears on the display for three seconds to alert
you. Check the antenna cable for tight connec-
tion.
