  • Page 9: About This User Manual

    About this User Manual INTRODUCTION The chart plotter is a state-of-the-art computerized electronic chart system, designed as a sophisticated navigation aid. User friendly operations make the chart plotter easy to operate. All calculations and information necessary for the navigation are performed and displayed on the screen quickly and accu- rately providing all of the facilities of a conventional GPS but with the added benefit of a powerful electronic chart display.

  • Page 11: Getting Started

    Getting Started This chapter provides basic information to get you started using the chart plotter; it will help you in becoming familiar with the chart display and the functions of the controls before you start using the chart plotter. THE KEYBOARD Joystick (Cursor key) Moves the cursor on the display screen quickly and accurately and in the menu page(s) scrolls the desired option.

  • Page 12: Software Keys Customization

    [MARK] places Mark at the cursor position (instead of [ENTER]) ♦ [ROUTE] places Waypoint at the cursor position (instead of [ENTER]) ♦ [TRACK] selects the Track menu ♦ Software Keys The software keys (soft keys) have different functions according to the modes of operation: their labels for the current functions, located on the front panel, are shown on the screen right above the keys.

  • Page 13: Switching On

    Switching On [POWER] for 1 second The chart plotter shows you the logo screen, Caution Notice and then the chart screen in sequence. The chart plotter will then perform a short self test procedure that checks all internal memory and the C-CARD (if installed), and then displays any failure detected on the screen.

    For centuries, sailors have been searching for a reliable and precise method of travelling the world's waterways. From celestial navigating to the modern navigation techniques as Loran, Decca Navigator, Omega or Transit Satnav, each system has had its problems with weather, range and reliability. Without doubt, the "Global Positioning System", or GPS for short, is the most significant advance in navigation: it gives the navigator a position 24 hours a day, 365 days a year in any weather condition.
