Path	HOME - NEW MODE - MENU KEY 5
Description	This facility does not have a screen of its own. It is a function
	enabled by a menu key on the New Mode menu.
	If the INTRAC had been in Learning or Tracking mode and
	had been taken out of that mode, and the model was still
	valid, pressing Auto Continue will return the INTRAC to that
	mode.
	The antenna may have been stowed or moved off satellite for
	some other reason. Alternatively the INTRAC may have gone
	into Standby due to an alarm. In either case (once the
	antenna has been unstowed) pressing Auto Continue will
	cause the antenna to drive back to the satellite and continue
	Learning or Tracking.
	If the INTRAC had been Tracking but the time off satellite was
	too long for the model to be relied on it will restart in Learning
	mode to build a new model.
Note	Until and unless the orbit model is cleared pressing Auto
	Continue will cause the antenna to be driven to the satellite of
	that model. Thus if a new satellite is required to be tracked
	the antenna must be driven to that satellite’s location and
	“Auto New Model” used to cause the INTRAC clear the
	existing model and start to build a new one.
