Chapter 2: Getting Started
Chapter 2: Getting Started
2.1 Introduction
This chapter provides information and instructions to allow you to
practice using the Raychart 425 Chartplotter. It is intended to help you
become familiar with the controls before you start using the chartplotter
for routine navigation.
Note: There is often more than one method of performing a particular
task. Normal operating procedures are detailed in Chapter 3. When you
become familiar with the system you can adapt these procedures to suit
your method of operation.
Conventions Used
Throughout this handbook, the dedicated (labelled) keys are shown in
bold capitals; for example, ENTER . The functions and options are shown
in normal capitals, eg. LIGHT .
Operating procedures, which may consist of a single key-press, or a
sequence of numbered steps, are indicated by a ➤ symbol in the margin.
When textual data is displayed on screen, any unavailable data is shown
as dashes, one per character.
Where procedures refer to Select, this implies using the trackpad to
highlight a function, then pressing the ENTER key to action that function.
Simulator
The Chartplotter display unit includes a Simulator mode, which allows
you to practice operating your chartplotter without data from a GPS
system. You will need to use the set up options to switch the display to
Simulator mode, as described in Section 2.2, Switching On/Off. You can
use it in either of two ways:
• Before the chartplotter has been installed on your vessel. In this case,
you only need to connect the Chartplotter display unit to a 12VDC
power supply, fused at 1A, connecting the red core from the power
lead to positive (+) and the black core to negative (-); see Chapter 5 for
full details.
• After the chartplotter has been installed on your vessel and while in a
marina or otherwise at anchor.
