About this User Manual

INTRODUCTION

The chart plotter is a state-of-the-art computerized electronic chart system, de-
signed as a sophisticated navigation aid. User friendly operations make the chart
plotter easy to operate. All calculations and information necessary for navigation
are performed and displayed on the screen quickly and accurately providing all of
the facilities of a conventional GPS but with the added benefit of a powerful elec-
tronic chart display. The cartographic information is obtained from C-MAP B
C-CARD (cartography data cards) that are available through your local dealer. For

EXPERT FUNCTIONS

It is possible to expand the functions set available on the chart plotter. When the
chart plotter comes from factory or after a RAM Clear (see Chapter 8), only those
menus/items are visible, which are of importance for the basic functions. Due to
this, the chart plotter handling has been considerably simplified for the majority
of users.
Also there are functions which are rarely used, the Expert Functions. These are
need to be activated before their use.
The Expert Functions can be activated selecting the About page (see Par. 4.6) and
then pressing [MODE] for 1 second.
The items shown in gray color are the basic functions, they are always active and
visible in the chart plotter menus. The others are the Expert Functions; you could
turn from "Off" to "On" for making visible the desired function in the chart plotter
menus, and then for using in the chart plotter handling.
For example, the Cursor Control function is an Expert Function. To activate it
follow this procedure:
[MENU] + [MENU] + "About..." + [ENTER] + [MODE] for 1 second + "MENU"
+ [ENTER] + "ADVANCED SETTINGS" + [ENTER] + "SIMULATION" + [ENTER]
+ "CURSOR CONTROL" + [ENTER] + "ON" + [ENTER]
