WARNING!
USE THIS GPS RECEIVER ONLY AS AN AID TO NAVIGA-
TION. A CAREFUL NAVIGATOR NEVER RELYS ON ONLY
ONE METHOD TO OBTAINPOSITION INFORMATION.
CAUTION
This GPS receiver, (like all GPS navigation equipment) willshow the shortest, path to a waypoint. It provides naviga- tion data to the waypoint regardless of obstructions. Therefore, the prudentnavigatorwill not onlytake
navigation tools when travellingto a waypoint, but will also visu- ally check to makecertain a clear, safe
alwaysavailable.
NOTICE!
As of this writing, the Department of Defense (DOD) has not declaredthe GPS navigation systemas operational. Thesystem is still in atestingphase. Satellites can beturnedoffor accuracy
can bedegradedatwill by thesystemoperators. Remember that or any GPS receiveris only as accurate as the
subjectto change withoutnotice.

INTRODUCTION
TheZ-9500GPS represents oneofthe best values insportfishing
sonartoday. It rivals othercombination sonar/GPS units costing much more in featuresand performance. TheZ-9500GPSoffers
easy-to-use operation atthetouchof a button. The wide screen shows the underwater world with high resolution and detail. It
also displays digital depth, boat speed*, surfacewatertemperature*, and distance*travelled(distance log).
Although the Z-5OOGPShas manyfeatures and functions,the "soft key"menu systemmakesit easytouse. Aboveall, don'tbe afraid to try different features and functions on the unit. You can'thurt it by pressing buttons!
Read this manual and take itwith you the first fewtimes you use
your unit. It makes a great reference shouldyou need it. The more you know when you get to the water, the more your Z-
9500GPS can doforyou!
MOUNTING - DISPLAY UNIT
Install theZ-9SDOGPSin any convenient location, providedthere is clearance behind the unit when it is tilted forthe best viewing angle. Holes in the bracket baseallow woodscrew or through-
bolt mounting. You may need to placeapieceofplywoodon the back ofthin fiberglass panelsto securethe mounting hardware. Makecertain there is enough room behind the unit to

The smallest hole that will passone poweror transducerplug is one inch. Afterthe hole is drilled, passthetransducerconnector up through the hole first, then pass the power cable down throughit.
fill the hole with a good marine sealingcompound. Offsetthebracketto coverthe major-
ityofthe hole.
POWER CONNECTIONS
The Z-9500GP5works from a twelve-voltbattery system only. You can attach the powercableto an accessory or powerbuss,
however if you have problems with electrical interference, then attach the power cabledirectlytothe battery.

Using theunit inthis manner lets you start a search pattern forthe victim
from a known location. Switching to the plotter on the .05 mile range makesit easier to see your positionrelative tothe accident area.
Remember, saving the victim is the primary goal. Try all options to
rescue the personimmediately afterthe accidenthappens. Training and education are also good accident preventatives. TheCoast Guard has
excellent safety courses. Instruct all members on board your boat on
safety procedures before leaving the dock. Make certain all on board know whattodo beforeany emergency occurs.

GPSMODULEINSTALLATION
The GPS module can be installed on a flat surfaceor (with the supplied adapter) on a pole. Mountthe module in an areathat guarantees a clear view ofthe sky at all times. In order forthe module to receive the signals from the satellites, it mustnot be obstructed. An ideal locationis on a cabin roof, or deck. The
gunnels also makea good location.

location is preferred. However, for lightning protection, the an- tennashouln'tbethe highestpartofthe boat.
Surface Mounting -WithAccess
If you have access underneaththe mountingsurface, use the
gasketsuppliedwith the GPSmodule as a template. Mark and drill four 5.5 mm (7/32") holesforthe mounting screwsand one 14 mm (9/16") hole forthe module'scable. Attachthe cable to
the module and passitdown thnughthe hole in the gasket and the mounting surface. Usethe5 mm "allthread"screwsand flat

The Z-9SOOGPS gives you a choice of methodsto enterthe PCF. The first method(Set as Position) letsyou simply enterthecorrected latitude/ longitude. The second method (Set as Offset) requires a calculation be performed, then entered into the unit.
Set as Position
To usetheSet as Position method, first choose the location onthe chart thatyou wishtomatchthe unit'sposition display to. Then move the boat to that positionand hold it there as accurately as possible. Nowpress the MENU key, then the key adjacent to the "More" labeluntilthe "PCF

NOISE
Minimizeelectrical noise by routingthe powercable away from other possible sources of electrical interference. One of the largest noisegeneratorsis the engine'swiring harness. For best results, keep the power, GPS module, and transducer cables
away fromthe enginewiring. Bilge pumpsand their wiring can also radiate noise, so keep the cables away from them, if pos-
sible.
VHF radio antennasand cables radiateRF energyathigh power levels. It is important to keepthe Z-9500GPS'cables away from
them, also.
Noise typicallyshowsOnthesonardisplay. Ifinterferencebegins atslowboatspeedsand getsworseas the speed increases, then the probable cause is acousticnoiseor cavitation. This noiseis not electrical,but is caused by air bubbles passing over the face

TRANSDUCER CONNECTIONS
The Z-9500GPS has dual frequencycapability. It can operate at
50 or 192 kHz, separately, or at the sametime. Theconnection diagrambelow shows the proper method to attach the transduc- ers to the Z-9500GP5. See the transducer owner'smanual for

PCF OFFSET (Position Correction Factor)
TheGPS navigation systemrelieson complex mathematical calculations to determine yourposition basedonsatellite data and otherfactors. One factor is the Earth'sshape. Since the Earth is not atrue sphere, varia-
tionsinthe calculations havetobe made to accommodate deviations. To
make matters more complex, usesthe same datatodetermine what the deviationsare. The size and shape of the ellipsoids that areusedto approximate theearth'ssurface are improvedoften. Thiscan
lead to errors if your navigation device uses one ellipsoid, while your chartuses adifferent one. Theterm usedfortheseellipsoids is "datum."

To reducetheerrorfactor between datum, the Z-9500GPS gives you the
capabilityto moveor "offset"the positionshown onthe displayto match one shown on the chart. The unit will add this offset to all position
displaysat all times,
For example, suppose you are anchored at a location that is accurately marked on achart. Your Z-9500GPS displaysalongitude position that is
.010 degreeslessthan theone on the chart. Using the Position Correction Factor (PCF) Offset feature, you make the Z-9500GP5 read the sameas the chart. If you raise anchorand move, the Z-9500GPS will
add the change you made to all positions. This makes it more closely match the datum used by the chart. For this reason, you should be

SONAR OPERATION
AUTOMATIC
When the Z-9500GPSis first turnedon, the Automatic feature is enabled. This is indicated by the word "AUTO" atthe top of the
screen. The Automatic featureadjuststhe sensitivity and range so the bottom signal is displayed in the lower portion of the screen at alltimes.
To turn Automatic off, simplypressthe AUTO key. The letters "Man" appear, indicating the unit is inthe manual mode. Toturn
Automatic on, pressthe AUTOkey again.
SENSITIVITY
The sensitivity key on the Z-95003PS controls the ability of the unit to pick up echoes. A low sensitivity level excludes muchof the bottominformation, fish signals, and othertargetinformation. High sensitivity levelsenableyouto seethisdetail,but itcan also clutterthe screenwith noise. Typically,the best sensitivity level shows a good solid bottomsignal with Graylineand some sur- face clutter.
When the Z-9500GP5is in the Automatic mode, thesensitivityis
automatically adjusted to keep a solid bottom signal displayed, plus a little more. This gives it the capabilityto show fish and otherdetail.
Sometimes it becomes necessary to manually increase or decrease the sensitivity. This typicallyhappenswhen you wish to see more detail, so an increase in sensitivity is indicated. The procedure to adjust it is the same whether the unit is in the automatic or manual mode.

GRAYLINEThIet5 you distinguish between strong and weak ech- oes. It "paints" gray on targetsthat are strongerthan a preset value. This allowsyou totell the difference between a hardand soft bottom. For example, a soft, muddyor weedy bottom re- turns a weaker signal which is shown with a narrowor no gray line. A hardbottom returns a strong signal whichcausesa wide gray line.
Ifyou havetwo signalsof equal size, one with grayand theother without, then the target with gray is the stronger signal. This weeds from trees on the bottom, or fish from
