Attenzione!
L'esposizione del display ai raggi ultravioletti può accorciare la vita dei cristalli
liquidi usati nel vostro plotter cartografico. Questo limite è dovuto alla tecnologia costruttiva degli attuali display.
Evitare inoltre che il display si surriscaldi per non causare una diminuzione di
contrasto che, in casi estremi, può rendere lo schermo completamente nero.
Tale condizione è comunque reversibile durante il raffreddamento.
Warning!
Exposure of display to UV rays may shorten life of the liquid crystals used in
your plotter. This limitation is due to the current technology of the LCD displays.
Avoid overheating which may cause loss of contrast and, in extreme cases, a
darkening of the screen. Problems which occur from overheating are reversible when temperature decreases.
Achtung!
Ultraviolette Strahlen können die Lebensdauer vom Flüssigkristalldisplay
verkürzen. Die derzeitige LCD-Technologie bedingt diese verkürzte Lebensdauer.
Überhitzung des Displays durch Sonneneinstrahlung führt zu einem Kontrastverlust und in extremen Fällen sogar in eine Schwär zung des Bildschirmes.
Bei sinkenden Temperaturen normalisiert sich der Kontrast wieder und die
Bildschirminformation wird wieder ablesbar.
Attention!
L'exposition de votre écran LCD aux ultra-violets lors de soleil intense réduira
la durée de vie de l'afficheur de votre lecteur. Cette contrainte est liée à la
technologie des écrans LCD.
Une augmentation trop importante de température peut obscurer des zones de
votre écran et le rendre ainsi inutilisable (non couvert par la garantie).
Aviso!
La exposición de la pantalla a los rayos UV puede acortar la vida del cristal
líquido usado en su ploter. Esta limitación se debe a la tecnología actual de las
pantallas LCD.
Evitar que la pantalla se caliente en exceso pues puede causar pérdida de
contraste y, en caso extremo, la pantalla puede quedar totalmente negra. Este
problema revierte al enfriarse la pantalla.

1.1 INTRODUCTION
The chartplotter is a computer specifically designed for nautical use but, more
precisely, to ease and speed up all calculations, which so far have been done
manually. The chartplotter displays the current position, the speed, and the heading
of the boat and its Track. The user information like Waypoints, Marks and Tracks can
be stored on a optional User C-CARD (for backup) and can be recalled at any time.
On the screen are shown navigation data and cartographic information obtained from
electronic charts
.
1.2 IF YOU NEED ASSISTANCE
If your chartplotter does not operate properly, go to the System Test on Section 7.1.
Most common operating difficulties can be diagnosed using these tests. If you still
need assistance, call STANDARD HORIZON Product Support or your local Dealer,
reporting the Software System Information

NOTE
This Section defines each control of the chartplotter. For detailed operating instructions,
refer to Section 8. Refer to Figure 3.1 for the location of the following keys and connections.
3.1 CONTROLS AND CONNECTIONS
The chartplotter is controlled by using 15 keys: 10 labelled keys are dedicated to specific
functions; the other 5 keys (hereinafter named soft keys) have different functions associated
depending on the software: their labels are shown on the screen immediately above the keys
(the user can customize the function associated, see Section 3.1.1).There is also a

There are two different modes to change chart scale "By Zoom" and "By Scale".
'MENU' + "GENERAL SETUP" + 'ENTER' + "ZOOM TYPE" + 'ENTER' + "By Zoom"

Pressing the 'ZOOM IN' shows more detail of a smaller area, by changing the chart
scale and zooming in on your display. Press 'ZOOM OUT' to change the scale and
show a wider, otherwise less detailed view. Pressing and holding 'ZOOM IN'/'ZOOM
OUT' allows the quick zoom, that is the fast change of the chart scale where only the land
areas are drawn. When 'ZOOM IN'/'ZOOM OUT' is released all map details are shown.
'MENU' + "GENERAL SETUP" + 'ENTER' + "ZOOM TYPE" + 'ENTER' + "By Scale"

4.1.3 Turning the chartplotter On and Off
Before powering On the chartplotter, check for the correct voltage (10-35 volt dc), the
correct polarity and be sure that the supplied 1A Fuse is wired in series on the PWR (Black) wire:

4.1.3.1 Turning On
Press and hold 'PWR' for 1 second. The chartplotter emits one rapid beep sound and
the Start-Up pages are opened:
Figure 4.1.3.1 - Start-Up pages
NOTE
The software version is subject to change without notice.
After a few seconds, the first of the two Caution Notice pages is displayed, reminding
you that the chartplotter is only an aid to navigation, and should be used with
appropriate prudence. The electronic charts are not intended to substitute official
charts. Then the cartographic screen is displayed.
4.1.3.2 Turning Off
Press 'PWR' and hold for 3 seconds: a countdown timer appears on the screen, if you
release the key before the countdown timer reaches zero, the chartplotter will remain
On.
4.1.4 Changing Light and Contrast
Press and immediately release 'PWR' (do not press and hold the key, or the "poweroff" message will be displayed!): use the
light (move it left/right) and the contrast (move it up/down). Press 'ENTER' to confirm
the setting.
