Note

The position correction feat ure should be used

installation

Precautions

To avoid electromagnetic interference, it is
recommended that the CND be installed no
less than 0.3 metres from a compass and 1
metre from the GPS .

The CND is water resist ant, but not waterproof.
Use the cover when not in use. The C-MAP
Cover must be properly closed and only
opened to insert or remove c artridges. In either
situation, this process must be perf ormed in a
totally dry environment. The rear connectors
that are not connected to c ables must remain
protected by their appropriate caps .

Panel mounting

Screw the bolts supplied into t he fittings on the
back of the CND. A hole m ust be cut in the
panel using the template supplied. Fit the CND
into the hole you have cut and place the
mounting bracket so that the panel is
sandwiched between it and the CND. Fit the
knobs onto the bolts and ti ght en.

The rubber sealing gasket should be placed
between the plotter and bulkhead to prevent
moisture penetration and reduc e the effects of
any vibration transmitted through the
instrument panel.
