Simulator mode
The G-Series Display includes a simulator mode which allows you
to practice operating the display without data from a GPS antenna,
radar scanner, fishfinder (DSM) unit or an AIS receiver.
Once enabled, you can use the simulator:
•
Before installation: connect the system to a 12V DC power
supply, fused at 1 amp by attaching the red core from the power
lead to positive (+) and the black core to negative (-).
•
After installation while in a marina or at anchor.
Settings made in simulator mode are not transmitted to other
equipment.
Incoming AIS safety messages are not displayed in
simulator mode.
To switch simulator mode on
1. Press the MENU button to open the Setup menu.
2. Select Simulator.
3. Select ON.
4. Press OK.

Emergencies and warnings
You can use your G-Series system to mark the position of a man
overboard, or to sound warning alarms in particular situations.
Man overboard
If you lose a person or object overboard and need to return to the
spot, activate the Man Overboard (MOB) function immediately.
The MOB function is available at all times, whatever application is
running on the G-Series system.
To activate the Man Overboard function
1. Press and hold the WPTS/MOB key for three seconds.
The G-Series can also receive a MOB message from other equip-
ment on the SeaTalk system.
Placing a MOB marker initiates a set of actions on the G-Series
system:
•
Waypoint placed at your current position.
•
Alarm sounds in morse, repeated every 30 seconds.
•
Positional information including bearing, range and position
are displayed in the databar. These are calculated according to
the MOB configuration specified in the System Setup Menu. As-
suming that your boat and the MOB are subject to the same tide
and wind effects, dead-reckoning normally gives a more accu-
rate course.

•
Radar range set to
8 nm if in transmit mode.
•
Navigation functions are suspended and no new GOTO or
route functions are selectable.
•
Motion mode set to autorange if radar/chart synchronization
is set to OFF (see
page
64). The chart application changes the
motion mode to Autorange to display the largest possible scale
of chart that will include both the MOB waypoint and your
vessel.
•
MOB message transmitted to other Raymarine equipment.
•
Current position to MOB position is represented on screen
by a dotted line.
Note: To obtain a MOB position, you need either position or
heading and speed data from a GPS (or equivalent) device.
To pause a MOB alarm
1. Press any key on any instrument on the SeaTalk system.
After approximately 10 seconds the alarm will sound again if the
MOB function is still active.
Pausing an alarm does not deactivate or clear the MOB state.
Cancelling a MOB alarm
Clearing a man overboard alarm has the following effects:
•
The motion mode in the chart and radar applications is reset.
