3. STEERING MODES
The NAVpilot-500 system is capable of six primary steering modes: STBY
(manual), AUTO, NAV, TURN, REMOTE (FU and NFU) and DODGE.

3.1 STBY Mode

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 ship’s steering wheel (helm).
Press the [STBY] key.
