Autopilot Operation
22081814H 49
WARNING ! The accuracy of current navigation systems make it possible to
automatically navigate extremely close to positions that you will
input the AP300DLX. When entering waypoints from a nautical
chart or from a position listing, select a position that is a safe
distance away from the actual location, to insure that you will
not steer directly into e.g.a selected buoy.
If you do not press ENTER within 60 seconds after naming the
waypoint, the new waypoint will not be saved.
As you continue moving, the AP300DLX will continuously calculate
the distance and bearing from the ship's current location to the
waypoint position that was retained at the instant the ADD button was
pressed.
