maintain the integrity of the display screen and reduce power
consumption when the 961/962 is on for many hours at a
time.
SAVE key
The
SAVE
key instantly saves your vessel’s position—at any
time, at any screen, during any function. For example, if you’re
editing data on the
NAVIGATION SETUP
screen when you
press the
SAVE
key, you’ll still obtain the
VESSEL POSITION
dialog box that always follows
SAVE
keypresses. Pressing the
SAVE
key temporarily saves your vessel’s position; at a later
time, you can rename this
*SAVEDXX*
waypoint to save it
permanently. Pressing the
SAVE
key lets you save a new
waypoint (as a single waypoint or as multiple waypoints in a
route), or add your vessel’s position to the end of the
previously designated route.
For details about using the
SAVE
key to save your vessel’s
position as a waypoint, see “Creating a new waypoint at the
vessel’s position” starting on page 6-11.
For details about using the
SAVE
key to save your vessel’s
position as part of a new route, see “Creating a route as you
travel” starting on page 8-10.
MOB key
Pressing the
MOB
key the first time instantly saves your
position as a Man Overboard (MOB
)
waypoint. The
MAN
OVERBOARD
dialog box appears, and you now have five
seconds to press
CANCEL
if you accidentally pressed
MOB
.
Unless you press
CANCEL
,
the
CHART
screen is automatically
displayed (no matter what screen you were previously
viewing), and navigation is provided directly to the MOB
coordinates. Even if you press
CANCEL
, an MOB waypoint is
still created on the
CHART
screen, although navigation to this
point won’t be provided.
