Beacon information display
SS: SS (Signal Strength) displays a numeric
representation of field strength of the
received signal on the selected frequency.
The higher the number the stronger the
received signal. (should read at least 60.) If
noise is present at reception band width, the
figure gets bigger.
SN: SN (Signal-to-Noise) ratio displays the
ratio between the desired signal and
unwanted noise on the selected frequency.
The higher the SN ratio the better the quality
of the signal. (should read at least 21.)
Note: If your equipment does not have a
DPGS receiver, the message "NO
DIFFERENTIAL DATA" appears when
the BEACON INFO soft key is pressed.
Also when connecting with the
external beacon receiver, this
message appears.

How to read the compass display
The solid inverted triangle at the center of
the compass shows own ship's course. The
hollow inverted triangle shows the bearing to
destination waypoint. When own ship's
course is changed, the hollow inverted
triangle moves with course change.
Note: Course means the direction which
own ship moves to. It is different from
own ship's heading. Tidal current and
wind may affect the course.
