Getting Started & Adjusting the Display

2.1 Introduction

This chapter provides information, instructions and a simple exercise to get you
started using the HSB Series LCD display. It will help you to become familiar
with the display and the functions of the controls before you start using the radar
or chartplotter for routine navigation. More detailed information on operating
the radar display is provided in Chapters 3 and 4. Chartplotter operating details
are given in Chapters 5 and 6.

Conventions Used

Throughout this handbook, the dedicated (labelled) keys are shown in bold
capitals; for example, MENU. The soft key functions, menu names and options
are shown in normal capitals; for example, SCREEN.
Operating procedures, which may consist of a single key-press or a sequence of
numbered steps, are indicated by a ➤ symbol in the margin.
When the procedure requires you to press a soft key, the soft key icon is shown
in the margin.

Simulator

The display unit includes a simulator function, which allows you to practice
operating your radar or chartplotter without data from the scanner or GPS
system. You will need to use the set up options to switch the display to
simulator mode, as described in Section 2.2 Switching the Display Unit On/Off.
You can use it in either of two ways:
• Before the display unit has been installed on your vessel. In this case, you
only need to connect the display to a 12V or 24V DC power supply,
connecting the red core from the power lead to positive (+) and the black core
to negative (-). See Chapter 8 for full details.
• After the display has been installed on your vessel, but while in the marina or
at anchor.
The following section, Switching the Display On and Off, includes instructions
to view simulated radar and chart images.
