SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING Do not use the WIND mode under strong or unstable wind. The boat may capsize. When gybing, watch for moving boom. The boom may strike a person, possibly causing serious injury. CAUTION Trim the sail to the wind always optimally. Wrong sail position may cause the autopilot's control error. Monitor the wind direction when using the NAV mode. The wind direction on the display may change because the heading moves according to route.
