How to Activate Own Ship Check

Calculation of own ship predicted movement area is
done using a check area ahead, or around, own ship
position. Set the check area as follows:
1. Select the [Look-ahead] page from the [Overlay/
NAV Tools] box.
Note: The [ON] button may not be shown depend-
ing on installation setting.
2. Set the ahead time or distance and ahead width, referring to the figure below. Al-
so, set the "Around" figures: port, starboard, bow and stern check distance. The
reference point is the conning position (CCRP).

When an object set from the [Chart Alert] menu enters a set area, an alert is generated
in the following manner:
• Alarm or Warning level alerts: Alert message and aural alert are generated.
• Caution level alerts: Alert message is generated (no aural alert).
Objects or areas that generate an alert are shown in the following manner. (Alarms:
red highlight, Warnings/Cautions: yellow outline)
• Individual objects: The object is highlighted in red or outlined in yellow.
• Area objects: If the area object is larger than the look-ahead area, the look-ahead
area is highlighted in red or outlined in yellow. If the area object is smaller than the
look-ahead area, the area object is highlighted in red or outlined in yellow.

Ahead: Sets an area with a length
based on own speed (Time) or
distance (DIST) ahead of your ship.
The [Width] setting is applied to
either [Time] or [DIST], depending on
your selection. The area set here is
always oriented based on your
course (COG).
Around: Sets a fixed area around
your ship. This area moves with your
ship, in relation to your current
heading (HDG).
