Read and understand the Volvo joystick before attempt-
ing to use the component. Practice maneuvering in an
open area until you become acquainted with the device.
The Volvo joystick features a DPS (dynamic positioning
system) button option which can be activated through
the retail dealer who can order the needed software from
Volvo.
The DPS feature assists in retaining a selected position
and compass heading from the vessel’s GPS signal. This
can be benefi cial while waiting for a dock or a bridge to
open or to remain over a favorite fi shing or diving loca-
tion.
When employing this feature the operator must main-
tain helm control since legally the vessel is considered to
be under way. Also, keep several boat lengths away from
swimmers, other vessels and objects.
