SAVE key
MOB key
961 Operations and Reference Manual Rev. D
restores its previous brightness level. This function helps
maintain the integrity of the display screen and reduce power
consumption when the 961 is on for many hours at a time.
The SAVE key instantly saves your vessel's position—at any
time, at any screen, during any function. For example, if you're
editing data on the NAVIGATION SETUP screen when you
press the SAVE key, you'll still obtain the VESSEL POSITION
dialog box that always follows SAVE keypresses. Pressing the
SAVE key temporarily saves your vessel's position; at a later
time, you can rename this *SAVEDXX* waypoint so the 961
will permanently retain it. Pressing the SAVE key lets you save
a new waypoint (as a single waypoint or as multiple waypoints
in a route), or add your vessel's position to the end of the pre-
viously designated route.
For more information about using the SAVE key, see "Using
the save key" starting on page 4-15.
Pressing the MOB key the first time instantly saves your posi-
tion as a Man Overboard (MOB) waypoint. The MAN OVER-
BOARD dialog box appears, and you now have five seconds to
press CANCEL if you accidentally pressed MOB. Unless you
press CANCEL, the 961 automatically goes to the CHART
screen (no matter what screen you were previously viewing),
and provides navigation directly to the MOB coordinates. Even
if you press CANCEL, the 961 still creates an MOB waypoint
on the CHART screen, although navigation to this point won't
be provided.
