2. 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.

2.1 SWITCHING ON/OFF

Before powering On the chart plotter, check for the correct voltage (10-35 volt

dc) and the correct connections with the positioning instrument.

Switching On

[PWR] 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.

Switching Off

[PWR] for 3 seconds

A countdown timer appears on the screen, if you release the key before the

countdown timer reaches zero, the chart plotter will remain On.

2.2 CHANGING BACKLIGHT AND CONTRAST

You can change the level of backlight and contrast for the screen.

[PWR] + move the cursor left/right to adjust backlight levels and/or move

the cursor up/down to adjust contrast levels + [CONFIRM]

Now you return to the chart screen with the new backlight and contrast levels retained.

2.3 SELECTING THE USER INTERFACE LANGUAGE

It is possible to set the language to display menus, data pages, warning/alarm

messages, full/quick info, list of objects found by find/nearest function, and on

charts (such as place’s names, buoy’s names and so on).

To select the language you want:

[MENU] + “SETUP” + [ENTER’] + “Language” + [ENTER] + select the

language you want + [ENTER]

NOTE If the selected language is not available on cartographic data, English

language is used instead.

CAUTION

If you have accidentally selected an incomprehensible language, and you

don’t be able to reselect your language (the above procedure is not of help

to you), follow this procedure: press [MENU], move the cursor to the right

until the last selection is highlighted (which corresponds to the Setup menu)

and press [ENTER]. Then a window appears with “Language” message, press

[ENTER]; now select your language and press [ENTER] again. Anyway if

you in trouble, see Chapter 6 "Maintenance" for a RAM Clear operation: the

chart plotter will also return all selections, in particular language, to original

default values.
