Chapter 2: Getting Started
2.1 Introduction
This chapter provides information, instructions and a simple
familiarization exercise in using the display. Operating information is
detailed in Chapter 3.
Conventions Used
Throughout this handbook, the dedicated (labelled) keys are shown in
bold capitals; for example,
ENTER. The soft key functions, menu names
and options are shown in normal capitals; for example,
SCREEN.
Operating procedures, which may consist of a single key-press or a
sequence of numbered steps, are indicated by a
➤ symbol in the margin.
Simulator
The Chartplotter display unit includes a Simulator mode, which allows
you to practice operating your Chartplotter without data from a GPS
antenna. You will need to use the set up options to switch the display unit
to Simulator mode, see Section 2.2, Power On/Off. You can use it in either
of two ways:
• Before the Chartplotter has been installed on your vessel. In this case,
you only need to connect the Chartplotter display unit to a 12V DC
power supply, fused at 1A, connecting the red core from the power
lead to positive (+) and the black core to negative (-); see Cable Run-
ning on page 5-11 for full details.
• After the Chartplotter has been installed on your vessel, but while in
the marina or at anchor.
2.2 Power On/Off
➤ To turn the display unit on, press the POWER key.
The keys light up and the introductory logo is displayed, followed by
the caution shown in Figure 2-1.
When you have read and understood the caution, press the
CON-
TINUE
soft key.
The GPS Status screen is displayed as shown in Figure 2-2.
