Chapter 3: System Setup

3.1 Introduction

Once you have installed your DSM300 and are familiar with its basic operation
(described in Chapter 1 and Chapter 2), you need to set it up so that it displays
information according to your preferences.
This chapter describes using the DSM300 Digital Sounder Module with a Raymarine

hsb PLUS (Pathfinder) Series display. Instructions for setting up the DSM300 with a C Se-
ries or E Series display are available in the handbooks for those products.
This is achieved using the soft key controls that are displayed when you press the
MENU
MENU key.
In most cases, you will only need to use the MENU key options when you first set
up your system. As you become more familiar with your system, you may decide
to customize some aspects, such as the screen and help setting.
All settings described in this chapter are retained when the unit is powered off.
Note:
However, there is a one-minute delay from the time you make the setting change to when
the DSM300 places it in memory. If you power down the sounder less than one minute after
making a change, the setting is lost.
This chapter covers the following topics:
• Changing the default set up parameters
• Sounder specific parameter functions and default settings
You should check the functions of the parameters and decide on the new settings
before making the changes.

3.2 Changing the Set Up Parameters

The set up parameters are divided into two sections:
• System , to control the aspects of the system that are not specific to the
sounder module.
• Sonar , to control the Sonar-mode display preferences, including HSB mode,
calibration, and simulator.
This section provides instructions for displaying and changing the default values.
The following sections list the parameters and their possible settings and describe
the function of each parameter in turn.
