Page 44: Ais Aids To Navigation
AIS Aids to Navigation An AIS aid to navigation (ATON) is any kind of navigational aid that is transmitted over the AIS radio. ATONs are displayed on the charts and have identifying information, such as position and type. There are three main kinds of AIS ATONs. Real ATONs physically exist and send their identifying and location information from their actual location.
Page 45: Ais Distress Signals
AIS Distress Signals Self-contained AIS distress signal devices transmit emergency position reports when activated. The chartplotter can receive signals from Search and Rescue Transmitters (SART), Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacons (EPIRB), and other man overboard signals. Distress signal transmissions are different than standard AIS transmissions, so they appear differently on the chartplotter.

Data appears on the radar overlay based on the most recently used radar mode and all settings configurations applied to the radar overlay are also applied to the last-used radar mode.
Page 103: Radar Overlay And Chart Data Alignment
Radar Overlay and Chart Data Alignment When using the Radar overlay, the chartplotter aligns radar data with chart data based on the boat heading, which is based by default on data from a magnetic heading sensor connected using a NMEA 0183 or NMEA 2000 network.
Page 104: Adjusting The Radar Range
Adjusting the Radar Range The range of the radar signal indicates the length of the pulsed signal transmitted and received by the radar. As the range increases, the radar transmits longer pulses in order to reach distant targets. Closer targets, especially rain and waves, also reflect the longer pulses, which can add noise to the Radar screen.
Page 105: Defining A Circular Guard Zone
Defining a Circular Guard Zone Before you can define the boundaries of the guard zone, you must enable a guard zone (Enabling a Guard Zone, page 92). You can define a circular guard zone that completely surrounds your boat. 1 From a radar screen, select Menu > Radar Options > Guard Zone > >...

A dashed green line attached to the circle indicates the projected course over ground or the GPS heading of the target.
Page 107: Showing Ais Vessels On The Radar Screen
Showing AIS Vessels on the Radar Screen AIS requires the use of an external AIS device and active transponder signals from other vessels. You can configure how other vessels appear on the Radar screen. If any setting (except the AIS display range) is configured for one radar mode, the setting is applied to every other radar mode.
Page 108: Echo Trails
Echo Trails The echo trails feature enables you to track the movement of vessels on the radar display. As a vessel moves, you can see a faint trail of the vessel's wake. You can change the length of time the trail is displayed. NOTE: Depending upon the radar in use, the settings configured for use in one radar mode may or may not be applied to other radar modes or to the radar overlay.
