HOW TO CONTROL CHART OBJECTS This chapter provides the information necessary for controlling chart features. How to Browse Your Charts You can view your charts using different positions and different scales. The basic tools for browsing charts are the RANGE key, chart offcenter, and scroll. RANGE - and RANGE + change the chart scale.

16. RADAR OVERLAY 16.1 Introduction The radar overlay has the radar echo image overlaid on the ECDIS chart display, in the Voyage navigation mode. The radar overlay video is received over LAN from the FAR-2xx7 or FCR-2xx9 series radar. This ECDIS has many features to support exact match in scale and orientation of the chart and radar echo image.
Page 206: How To Setup The Radar Overlay
16. RADAR OVERLAY 16.2 How to Setup the Radar Overlay Radar echoes can be output to the ECDIS and shown on its display. Like details on S57 charts, the radar overlay can be displayed or removed from the chart display. The transparency of the echo display can be set from the [Echo] page in the [Overlay/NAV Tools] box.
Page 207: Error Between Radar Echo Image And Chart
16. RADAR OVERLAY 16.3 Error Between Radar Echo Image and Chart There are several reasons why the radar echo image and chart display do not match exactly. The mismatch is a combination of several reasons and removing one reason doesn't solve the mismatch perfectly. There is a fundamental difference between the radar echo image and corresponding chart feature.

OPERATION WITH AUTOPILOT PT-500A 24.6.2 Alerts and messages when precondition for route steering are not complete When you select the GoSEA or GoAW mode and change the steering mode to NAVI (on the Autopilot) to activate the route steering, but route steering preconditions are not complete, an alert and a message are given.
Page 276 24. OPERATION WITH AUTOPILOT PT-500A Messages The message in the [Track Control Status] window (at the top of the display) states the reason why the preconditions for the start of track control are not complete. [Track Control Status] Preconditions for Track Control Start are missing: AP connection error.
