SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
related to the execution of a safe navigation. For this reason we would like to remind you that you are required to carry on board and use the officially published and approved nautical chart.
Please read through this manual before the first operation. If you have any questions, please contact the customer service or your local dealer or distributor Extensive exposure to heat may result in damage to the chart plotter. Connection to the power source with reversed polarity will damage the chart plotter severely. This damage is not covered by the warranty. Do not disassemble. The chart plotter contains dangerous high voltage circuits which only experienced technicians must handle Exposure of the display to UV rays may shorten the life of the liquid crystals used in you plotter. This limitation is due to the current technology of the LCD display. Avoid overheating which may cause loss of contrast and, in extreme case, a darkening of the screen. Problems which occur from over heating are reversible when temperature decreases.
Screen Cleaning Precautions
Cleaning your chart plotter screen is a very important operation and must be done carefully. The following is the cleaning procedure. You use a tissue or lens tissue and a cleaning spray containing lsopropanol (a normal spray cleaner sold for PC screens. Fold the tissue or lens tissue into a triangular shape, moisten the tip and use the index finger behind a corner to move the tissue across the surface, in overlapping side to side strokes. If the tissue is too wet, a noticeable wet film will be left in its path and you will need to repeat the process. If too dry, the tissue won’t glide easily, and may damage the surface.
If you require technical advice or assistance, contact your nearest Plastimo office or visit our website, www.advansea.com.
Electronic charts displayed by the chart plotter are believed to be accurate and reliable, but they are not intended to replace official charts which should remain your main reference for all the matters

1 Find a location for flush mounting. 2 Drill a hole in the area of the cutout area
for the blade of jig saw.
3 insert and cut out the area on the panel
using the jig saw 4 Drill four holes for mounting studs. 5 Install the mounting studs on the chart
plotter and insert them into the mounting
hole. 6 Attach the chart plotter to the mounting
location by attaching the supplied
hardware to the mounting studs.
Note
1 If you flush mount, you need the optional external
GPS antenna.

1 Press , select Frequency. 2 Select frequency and press . 3 Press to exit.
High frequency (200kHz )
The higher ultrasonic signal, the better is the resolution. For this reason the 200 kHz frequency is ideal for detailed observation of fish schools.
Low frequency (50kHz)
The lower frequency signal is, the wider is the detection area. Therefore, the 50kHz frequency is useful for general detection and judging bottom condition.
Mixed frequencies (200kHz / 50kHz)
The Mixed frequency combines the 200 kHz and the 50 kHz in the Sonar window. The 50kHz picture appears on the left and the 200kHz picture on the right.
3-5-4 Range
Range is the depth of water displayed on the sonar window. The basic range may be chosen in Auto or manual mode.
Auto: When the mode is set to Auto, the unit adjusts the depth automatically for the best performance. This option is recommended for normal operation.
Manual: When the mode is set to Manual, the unit only displays the depth of water at a given range. That means the sea bottom might not be displayed in the sonar window or it might display half of display in white because range is more important than sea bottom depth. As shown in below images.
The display is useful for comparing the same picture with two different frequencies.
