Turning the Power On/Off

Normally, leave the power switch at the rear of the chart processor on and control power on/off with the POWER
switch on a control unit. Note that the display unit is powered independently.
After power is applied, the Windows program starts up and about one minute later the bearing scale appears. The
radar then goes into three minutes of warm-up time to warm the magnetron, which transmits radar pulses. The timer
counts the time remaining for warm-up. When the timer has reached 0:00, the indication "ST-BY" appears at the
screen center, meaning the radar is now ready to transmit pulses.
In the stand-by condition, markers, rings, map, charts, etc. are not shown. Further, neither TT nor AIS is active.
If the power is reapplied after the equipment was in the ECDIS mode, Windows starts up and about two minutes
later the ECDIS display appears.
Parameters set on the menus are stored in a non-volatile memory (hard disk) and are preserved when the power is
turned off.
Transmitter ON
After the power is turned on and the magnetron has warmed up, ST-BY appears at the screen center, meaning the
radar is ready to transmit radar pulses. You can transmit by pushing the STBY/TX key on the full keyboard, or use
the trackball to select the TX STBY box at the bottom left corner of the display then push the left button. The label
at the left-hand side of the guidance area at the bottom right corner of the screen changes from TX to STBY.
