3. For [Full-Auto], set the deviation level as follows:
1) Rotate the Course control knob to select the current setting for
[Deviation Level] then push the knob.
2) Rotate the Course control knob to select [Auto] or [Level].
For [LEVEL], you may set a value between 1 and 9. A lower number keeps
the course more precisely but the rudder may be turned more often. With a
higher number, the rudder is fixed, but the course may not be kept as precise-
ly.
