User Set-up 2 menu. Refer to Turn Pattern select on page

The course change can be adjusted before the turn
is initiated (2-80°).
The AP25 will continue on the set course until you
press either the PORT or STBD button to select the
direction in which to make the first course change.
If you do not press PORT or STBD within 1
minute, the autopilot will return to AUTO mode
and stay on course.
While in a Lazy-S pattern you can alter the course
change magnitude (4-160°), the frequency or rate of
change (1-9) and the main course. An arrow shows
the direction of the turn.
