WARNING
Do not use the ORBIT mode in rough
seas.
Because the boat turns a 360° circle
around the waypoint, a large wave or
strong wind can cause the boat to
capsize.
For the figure-eight mode, confirm that
no object is in the general vicinity
of the waypoint.
The distance from the waypoint to the
turning point depends on boat's speed.
CAUTION
In case of power failure, turn off the
autopilot or manually steer the vessel.
Leaving the equipment in the AUTO or
NAV mode during power failure will cause
wear on the rudder mechanism.
Use the correct fuse.
Use of a wrong fuse can cause fire or
damage the equipment.
