C-MAP electronic charts (ECs) are derived from
geographical data -including official government
charts - which we believe to be accurate.They are
neither verified nor approved by Hydrographic
Authorities. C-MAP ECs are designed only to ease
and speed navigation calculations and so must not
be relied upon as aprimary source of navigation
information, but rather a backup to the use of
official government charts and prudent navigation
habits.
There is no direct relationship between the color
of water areas and their depth. The navigator shall
always query the area for depth information and use
the official paper charts.
WARNING
Start-up sequence
Note 1: The example screens shown in this manual may not match the screens
you see on your display. The screen you see depends on your system
configuration and equipment settings.
Note 2: If the message “SYSTEM HAS FAILED START UP TEST. PLEASE
CONTACT A LOCAL FURUNO REPRESENTATIVE FOR REPAIR.
PRESS ANY KEY TO CONTINUE.” appears, contact your dealer for
advice.
Note 3: At the very first time you turn on your unit, the simulation mode window
appears. Choose YES or NO as appropriate and push the [ENTER]
knob.
The equipment takes 90 seconds to find its position when turned on for the very
first time. Thereafter it takes about 12 seconds to find position each time the
power is turned on. The message “NO FIX”, which means the equipment is now
finding its position, appears at the bottom of the plotter display immediately after
turning the power on. When the GPS receiver finds its position, “NO FIX”
changes to “2D” or “3D” to show that position data is now accurate.
Turning the power off
Press and hold the [POWER/BRILL] key until the screen goes blank (about four
seconds).
