Furuno 711c Manual De Usuario

This chapter describes the steering modes and functions of the NAVpilot.

After turning on the power, the equipment goes to the STBY mode. This is a manual 
steering mode. When sailing into or out of a harbor, steer the vessel in the STBY mode 
by using the steering wheel (helm) of your boat. In the STBY mode, “STBY“ appears 
on the display.

The compass rotates to keep the ship’s heading (gray pointer) at the top of the display.

The AUTO mode steers the boat automatically on a course set by the operator.

The AUTO mode will not compensate for the effects of wind or tide, which can push 
you off course athwart in the ship direction. Use the AUTO mode for short, straight 
voyages. Otherwise switch to the NAV mode (see section 2.3).
