Adjust backlight of display and pushbuttons (10 steps,
10 = brightest). Setting is stored when system is
turned off, and resets to stored level at turn on.
Adjustment is local to the control head you adjust.
Adjust contrast of displays (10 steps). Setting is stored when
system is turned off, and resets to stored level at turn on.
Adjustment is local. All steps not available at high temperature
due to automatic temperature compensation.
Select the compass to be used for AUTO steering.
Refer to the interface setup table in section 4.
RFC COMP = Simrad Fluxgate compass
MAGNET COMP = Magnetic compass
OTHER FLUXG = Non-Simrad fluxgate compass (sin/cos)
GYRO COMP = Simrad gyrocompass (using 1:1 synchro)
NMEA COMP = NMEA compass

Set the Sea State filter.
OFF: Provides precise steering but increases rudder activity.
AUTO: Reduces rudder activity and reduces sensitivity of
autopilot in rough weather automatically.
MANUAL: Sets yawband manually (1-10).
Select the source for NAV mode steering.
Refer to interface setup table in section 4.
Select the source of speed over ground (SOG) and position data
processed by the AP35. This option will appear whenever there is
more than one navigation receiver connected to the system.
Except when NMEA TEST or SYSTEM DATA is displayed, the menu
will disappear after 60 seconds if no key is pressed. It will disappear
immediately if any mode key (STBY, AUTO, NAV, WORK, TURN)
is pressed.
