Steering away

The preferred method for steering away from obstacles is:
1. Press standby, to return to Standby mode.
2. Manually turn the wheel to steer away from the obstacle.
3. Press auto to re-engage Auto mode
If you do not have time to engage Standby mode (e.g. in an emergency), manually
turn the steering wheel to steer away from the obstacle, whist still in Auto mode. When
you have passed the obstacle, press standby then auto, to re-engage Auto on the
previous locked heading.

Selecting a change of course

1. Use -1, -10, +1 and +10 to select a change of course in the appropriate direction.
For example, press -10 three times for a 30°dodge to port.
2. When you are safely clear of the obstacle, reverse the previous course change.
For example, press +10 three times to reverse a 30°dodge to port.

Off Course alarm

If you have been off course from the locked heading for longer than 20 seconds, an
alarm sounds and the Pilot Controller shows whether the deviation is to port or
starboard.
To cancel an Off Course alarm, press standby to return to manual steering. If the
heading recovers or if you change course, the alarm clears automatically.
