Prior to entering WIND mode the autopilot system should be 
operating in AUTO, with valid input from the selected wind 
transducer. The WIND mode is only available if the system has 
been set up for SAIL-boat in the Installation Menu, and the 
NAV/WIND source is set to WIND under the USER SETUP 
menu. (Refer to page 40). 
Enter the WIND mode by pressing the NAV/WIND/SETUP 
button. 
The set course to steer (CTS) and set wind angle are entered 
from the compass heading and the wind transducer at the 
moment the WIND-mode is selected. From that point the 
autopilot will change the course to maintain the wind angle as 
the wind direction may change. 

Note ! 

If the cumulative shift of the wind direction exceeds a set limit 
from the time a new wind angle is set, a WIND SHIFT alarm will 
sound.  
The display will show the set wind angle. Adjustments to this set 
angle can be made by using the course knob or PORT or STBD 
button. 
The display also presents heading and rudder angle.
