Some autopilots try to steer your vessel according to any
bearing changes made by the 961—regardless of the severity
of the change. Other autopilots automatically disengage
when a severe or abrupt turn is required. For information
about implementing MOB while using an autopilot, refer to
your autopilot's manual.
Each press of the IN key zooms in to double the chart scale;
each press of the OUT key zooms out to halve the chart scale.
The CURSOR PAD is located in the 961's lower right-hand
corner, and has two similar functions; how you use the CUR-
SOR PAD depends on what function you're performing on the
CHART screen or other screens. If you're navigating on the
961's CHART screen, the CURSOR PAD is used to move the
on-screen square cursor to designate a position on the chart. If
you're at other screens, however, the CURSOR PAD is used to
highlight different selections of data.
On the CHART screen, you can move the CURSOR PAD in an
up-to-down, left-to-right, or diagonal direction. You can move
the cursor diagonally by pressing between any two of its arrow
indicators. The harder you press the CURSOR PAD, the faster
the cursor moves. To carefully move the cursor small dis-
tances on the CHART screen, the easiest way is to place your
thumb in the center of the CURSOR PAD and gently push left,
right, up, or down. This method gives much finer control than
poking at the edge of the CURSOR PAD.
