Navigating using the MOB function
The MOB function is a fast and easy method of temporarily saving
present position. It is designed to be used in an emergency situation
where it is critical to return to the exact location where an incident
occurred.
Note ! The MOB feature will only function when the position source is operating
and sending the AP300DLX valid position data.
The use of MOB function is intended to supplement standard
lifesaving measures.
In an emergency man overboard situation, the MOB function should
only be used if:
• It can be activated without losing eye contact with the person in the
water.
• Only if MOB can be activated without inhibiting the rescue
maneuver to turn the boat.
• Only when the position source is the best reference for navigation.
When an MOB position is entered, it can easily be selected as the
GOTO position. The MOB position is also temporarily stored in the
waypoint list, and will be retained until the AP300DLX is turned OFF.
To access the MOB function from any screen or menu in the
AP300DLX - Press and hold the main (MOB) push button until the
following screen is presented:

Caution ! To become familiar with the operation and capability of the MOB
function, it is recommended to use MOB in other situations where
you want to memorize present position temporarily and return to it
immediately.
