Software Setup

This unit requires some initial configuration before use, in order to
get the most out of the product. The following sections focus on
settings that typically do not require change once configured. User
preference settings and operation are covered in the Operator
Manual. Selecting the Home button opens the Home page, which
has three distinct areas. The scrollable left column of icons is the
Tools panel. Select Settings in the Tools panel to open the Settings
dialog to access items that require configuration.
First time startup
When the unit is started for the first time, or after a factory default,
the unit displays a setup wizard. Respond to the setup wizard
prompts to select some fundamental setup options.
You can perform further setup using the system settings option and
later change settings made with the setup wizard.
Time and Date
Configure time settings to suit vessel location, along with time and
date formats.
Data source selection
Data sources provide live data to the system.
The data may originate from modules internal to the unit (for
example internal GPS or sonar), or external modules connected to
the NMEA 2000 or via NMEA 0183 if available on the unit.
When a device is connected to more than one source providing the
same data, the user can choose the preferred source. Before
commencing with source selection make sure all external devices
and the NMEA 2000 backbone are connected and are turned on.
Auto Select
The Auto Select option looks for all sources connected to the
device. If more than one source is available for each data type,
selection is made from an internal priority list. This option is suitable
for the majority of installations.
