2.14 TURN-mode
The AP35 provides special turn features when in AUTO or WORK modes.
U-Turn changes the current set course to be 180 degrees in the opposite
direction. The user may decide if the U-Turn should be made to Port or
Starboard to bring the boat on the new course. U-Turn is activated by a
single push on the TURN button. After the single push, the AP35 will
continue on the set course until you press either the PORT or STBD button
to select the direction to make the U-Turn. If you do not press PORT or
STBD within 1 minute, the AP35 will return to the AUTO mode and stay on
course.

C-Turn changes the current set course continuously. The user may decide if
the C-Turn should be made to Port or Starboard. C-Turn is activated by a
second push on the TURN button, and can only be activated when the AP35
is in AUTO or WORK modes. The AP35 will continue on the set course
until you press either the PORT or STBD button to select the direction to
make the C-Turn. If you do not press PORT or STBD within 1 minute, the
AP35 will return to the AUTO mode and stay on course.
The turn rate can be adjusted before the turn is initiated or during the turn.
