Chapter 5: Setting Up the Chartplotter

5.1 Introduction

Once you have installed your system and are familiar with its basic
operation, you may wish to set it up to operate according to your
requirements, and display information according to your preferences.
This is achieved using the soft key controls that are displayed when you
press the MENU key.
In most cases, you will only need to use the MENU key options when
you first set up your system. However, you may decide to change the
way you have customised some aspects, such as the screen and help
settings, as you become more familiar with your system.
Once you have set the values, they remain as the default settings until
you reset them; they are retained even when you power off your display
unit.
This chapter covers the following topics:
• Changing the default set up parameters
• System parameter functions and default settings
• Chartplotter-specific parameter functions and default settings
It is advisable to check the functions of the parameters, and decide on
the new settings, before making the changes.
Note: If you have a combined Radar/Chartplotter display, the SYSTEM
SET UP menu from the chart display is the same as that accessed from
the radar display. An additional set up menu is available for the radar
functions when you are in Radar mode. Refer to the HSB Series
Pathfinder Radar Handbook for details.
