2.9 DODGE Mode
The DODGE mode is useful in situations where you need to quickly take control of the
helm to avoid an obstruction.
To quit the DODGE mode, release theW or X key.
2.9.1 How to dodge in the AUTO and NAV modes
Press the W or X key down to steer appropriately until the boat has cleared the ob-
struction. The equipment goes into the DODGE mode and the audible alarm sounds
when one of the above keys is operated, to alert you to dodge operation. Note also
that "DODG" appears on the display.
Note: In the AUTO mode, the W and X keys can be used to change the course degree
by 5° or 10° or user setting (1°-90°, one-degree steps) steps depending on the instal-
lation setting. It is useful when you need to affect a large course change rapidly. How-
ever, the DODGE mode becomes inoperative when this function is activated. For
details, ask your serviceman.
