6.11 Initial set up procedures

Once your display has been installed and
commissioned, Raymarine recommends that you
complete the Startup wizard and perform some
additional procedures.
Startup wizard
When you power-up the display for the first time or
after a system reset a Startup Wizard is displayed.
The wizard guides you through the following basic
configuration settings:
1. Language
D12570-1
2. Boat type
3. Configure Units (Units of measure)
4. Boat Details
Note: These settings can also be set at any time
using the menus accessible from Homescreen
> Customize.
Additional settings
In addition to the settings covered by the Wizard,
it is also recommended that the following initial set
up tasks are completed:
• Set your date and time preferences.
• Designate the data master.
• Select the GPS data source.
• Familiarize yourself with the product using
Simulator Mode.
Warning: Minimum Safe Depth,
3
Beam and Height
Depending on cartography vendor, the
minimum safe settings are used during
automatic route generation, they are used
to restrict created routes from entering
water that is not suitable for the vessel.
Data is taken from compatible cartography.
Minimum safe settings are user defined
D12279-2
calculations. As both of these factors
are outside of Raymarine's control;
Raymarine will not be held liable for
any damage, physical or otherwise,
resulting from the use of the automatic
route generation feature or the Minimum
Safe Depth, Minimum Safe Beam or
Minimum Safe Height settings.
Minimum safe vessel depth
As part of the Initial startup wizard the Minimum
Safe Depth value can be set.
Minimum Safe Depth can be established by adding
together:
• Maximum Vessel Draft (i.e. the distance from the
waterline to the lowest point of a vessel's keel.)
• Safety Margin (an adequate clearance below the
keel to allow for draft variation and changes in
water or bottom conditions.)
