• If optional speaker connectors HT00072 Opt-A1 are used, LINE OUT and LINE IN are to be connected using the supplied cable. • Lan connector GBLAN1 is to be used when connecting the TECDIS unit to other TECDIS units, T Adapter or Furuno FAR-2xx7 series radar.
TECDIS. When this service key is connected to the chart plotter, the chart plotter will not be turned off when you exit TECDIS and you will be able to work in Windows (service mode) and open the Setup program by double clicking on the Setup icon on the desktop. When service mode is available, a text indication is shown in the lower right corner of the chart.
4. Optionally (but recommended) enter a description identifying the sensor as a GPS in the “Sensor Description” field. If the sensor signal is lost while the TECDIS is in operation, an alarm will be sounded. The alarm message will indicate the type of sensor lost as well as what port it is connected to and the sensor description you enter in this field.
