2.1 Introduction

This chapter provides information and instructions to get you started using the
SL72 or SL72RC PLUS display. It will help you to become familiar with the
display and the functions of the controls before you start using the unit. More
detailed information on operating the radar display is provided in Chapter 3
and Chapter 4. Chartplotter operating details are given in Chapter 5 and
Chapter 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, that 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. 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, con-
necting 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, Section 2.2, includes instructions to view simulated
radar and chart images.
