Touchscreen alignment
If the touchscreen is misaligned to your touch, you can realign it
to improve the accuracy.
This only applies to HybridTouch displays.
Realignment involves a simple exercise to align an on-screen object
with your touch. For best results, perform this exercise when your
vessel is anchored or moored.
Aligning the touchscreen
This only applies to HybridTouch displays.
With the homescreen displayed:
1. Select Set-up.
2. Select Maintenance.
3. Select Touchscreen Alignment.
4. Place your finger over the on-screen object momentarily, then
remove it.
5. Repeat the action a further 3 times.

message is displayed.
Touch the on-screen object and move it around the screen to test
the alignment. Press Back to return to the Maintenance menu.
7. If the operation was unsuccessful at any point during the
alignment exercise, an "Incorrect touch detected" message is
displayed, and the alignment exercise is restarted.
Data master
Any system containing more than one networked multifunction
display must have a designated data master.
The data master is the display which serves as a primary source
of data for all displays, it also handles all external sources of
information. For example the displays may require heading
information from the autopilot and GPS systems, usually received
through a SeaTalk ng or NMEA connection. The data master is the
display to which the SeaTalk, NMEA and any other data connections
are made, it then bridges the data to the SeaTalk
any compatible repeat displays. Information shared by the data
master includes:
• Cartography
• Routes and waypoints
• Radar
• Sonar
• Data received from the autopilot, instruments, the engine and
other external sources.
Your system may be wired for redundancy with data connections
made to repeat displays. However these connections will only
become active in the event of a fault and/or reassignment of the
data master.
Designating the data master
For systems with 2 or more displays the following task must be
performed on the multifunction display that you want to designate
as the data master.
With the homescreen displayed:
1. Select Set-up .
2. Select Maintenance.
3. Select Data Master.
4. Select the display that you want to designate as the data master.
5. Press the OK button.

Simulator mode

The Simulator mode enables you to practice operating your display
without data from a GPS antenna, radar scanner, AIS unit, or
fishfinder.
The simulator mode is switched on / off in the System Setup Menu.
Note: Raymarine recommends that you do NOT use the
simulator mode whilst navigating.
Note: The simulator will NOT display any real data, including any
safety messages (such as those received from AIS units).
Note: Any system settings made whilst in Simulator mode are
NOT transmitted to other equipment.
Enabling simulator mode
