This mode tracks a stationary position (such as a reef) using position data fed from a
navigator.

Note 2: This mode requires position data. When there is no position data the message “NO
POSITION DATA.” appears for four seconds and tracking is automatically cancelled. Check
the navigator.

marker is displayed at the cursor position and the target lock indicator appears at the top

equipment) is occurring. SECTOR, TILT and FULL/HALF controls are inoperative since
their functions are inoperative during position mode target lock.
The detection area is fixed at 48-degrees. Tilt angle and train are automatically adjusted
to track the target even if your vessel is moving.
