Chapter 1: Overview

1.1 Introduction

This handbook describes the following HSB Series systems:
RL70 Pathfinder Radar, 7" LCD Display
RL70RC Combined Pathfinder Radar/Chartplotter, 7" LCD Display
RC520 Chartplotter, 7" LCD Display
If you have an HSB Series LCD display, it is possible to connect another HSB
series LCD or CRT display to provide an integrated system. Connecting an
HSB Series Pathfinder Radar display to a chartplotter provides similar
functionality to the Combined Pathfinder Radar/Chartplotter display; the radar
data can be repeated on the chart display and chart data repeated on the radar
display.
If you are using the 7" LCD display unit as a repeater display refer to this
handbook for details on the operating controls.
This handbook describes the display unit controls and details both radar and
chart operations. Controls that are specific to either radar or chartplotter are
described in radar or chart sections/chapters.
Note: Many illustrations in this handbook show example screens. The screen
you see on your display depends on your system configuration and set up
options, so it may differ from the illustration.

How to Use This Handbook
