Using the FU80
The FU lever can be rotated 70° to port and starboard from mid-
position. The lever will remain in set position, and the commanded
rudder angle/heading change maintained until the lever is returned
to mid-position.
You can use the FU80 in FU, AUTO and NoDrift mode.
You can also get command if the system is in NFU, NAV or Wind
mode, but you cannot operate these modes from the FU80.

will turn the system to FU mode.
You switch to Standby from any mode by pressing the STBY key.
