BASIC OPERATION Initial Power Up (Or After Master Reset) INITIAL AUTO-DETECTION ERROR MESSAGES: Flashing “Stbd” – More than one of the engine computers (ECMs) are configured as a starboard engine. The engines must be programmed for proper engine location using a DDT or Quicksilver Diagnostic Tool.
MASTER RESET You can return the gauge back to factory presets through the Master Reset command. IMPORTANT: Performing a master reset will reset the unit back to all factory defaults, thus eliminating any installation calibrations performed during set up of product. 1.
STANDARD DISPLAY SCREENS NOTE:This manual shows all the Monitor display screens that are available. Depending on your type of engine, not all these screens will apply. Start Up At start up, a momentary (1 second) screen displays the current monitor software version, followed by a 4 second Software Version...

STANDARD DISPLAY SCREENS Water Depth Depth Displays the depth of water un- der the transducer if connected. You must have a depth NOTE: transducer (purchased separate- ly) connected to the system in or- der for this screen to operate. Vessel Speed Displays the vessel speed.
Shallow Water Alarm You can set an alarm to trigger whenever the boat moves into water shallower than the alarm level. Setting Shallow Water Alarm. 1. The water depth screen must be displayed. Be sure Depth is turned on in CAL 2. Refer to CAL 2 Calibration Section. 2.
WARNING SYSTEM When a problem is detected with the engine, the warning display screens will alert the operator to the potential problem. Refer to the Engine Operation, Maintenance and Warranty Manual for explanation of the problem and the correct action to take. If problem can cause immediate engine damage, the Engine Guardian System will respond to the problem by limiting engine power.

Press the button to save and move to the next function. Seawater Temperature Display (on or off) Indicates if a seawater tempera- ture sensor is installed.
CAL 2 CALIBRATION Fuel Tank Calibration THERE ARE THREE METHODS TO SET UP THE FUEL TANK LEVEL MONITORING FEATURE: First: Do nothing. Linear readout based on raw sensor values. This mode does not factor in irregular tank shapes. Second: By following the tank calibration default procedure, which is done without actually adding fuel to the tank.
