Saving The Settings - Mercury VesselView Manual

Saving the Settings

VesselView operates in sessions. Session configuration changes must be saved before the VesselView unit is shut down or the
changes will revert back to the last saved configuration or default settings. When changes are made to any of the VesselView
settings, whether for calibrating settings or for customizing, those changes must be saved.
IMPORTANT: If the battery switches are turned off, the VesselView unit will shut down. All session configuration changes made
since the last configuration save will be lost.
When changing data in the options of a screen, the screen may state to press the check button to save the changes, but those
changes are only saving to the current session. After a change is made to any VesselView screen, press the check button to
save the changes made to the session or the "X" button to cancel any changes.
After completing any change/customization to VesselView, a blue pop‑up message will appear as a reminder to save the
session settings. It is recommended that all session changes be saved before holding the "X" button while keying all of the
engines off.
IMPORTANT: Pressing the "X" button while turning the engine key switch "OFF" will save the current session configuration
settings and shut down the VesselView.
When the engine key switches are turned back to the "RUN" position, VesselView will perform a complete reboot that typically
takes a few minutes. Due to the length of time to reboot, it is recommended to make all necessary configuration changes in a
single session and then save all changes at one time.
There are two methods to save configuration changes made in a session:
• Complete the setup wizard and press the check button. VesselView will save the changes made in the setup wizard
session, shut down, and reboot.
• When the setup wizard is not used and changes are made to VesselView, perform the following procedure.
a.
While pressing the "X" button, turn the engine key switch to the "OFF" position. Be sure to turn all engine key
switches to their "OFF" position for multiple engine applications.
IMPORTANT: If any engine key switch is turned off after you have let go of the "X" button, that particular engine
session changes will be lost.
b. When any key switch is turned back to the "RUN" position, VesselView displays the last active screen after it
completes the boot up cycle. Though the data is saved, only the data for the engines that have their key switches
turned to the "RUN" position will be displayed.
