SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Do not open the equipment.
Only qualified personnel
should work inside the
equipment.
Turn off the radar power
switch before servicing the
antenna unit. Post a warning sign near the switch
indicating it should not be
turned on while the antenna
unit is being serviced.
Prevent the potential risk of
being struck by the rotating
antenna and exposure to
RF radiation hazard.
Do not disassemble or modify the
equipment.
CAUTION
No one navigation device should ever be
solely replied upon for the navigation of
a vessel.
Always confirm position against all available
aids to navigation, for safety of vessel and
crew.
A warning label is attached to the equipment. Do not remove the label. If the
label is missing or damaged, contact
a FURUNO agent or dealer about
replacement.
WARNING
To avoid electrical shock, do not
remove cover. No user-serviceable
parts inside.
Name: Warning Label (1)
Type: 86-003-1011-0
Code No.: 100-236-230
Fire, electrical shock or serious injury can
result.
Immediately turn off the power at the
switchboard if the equipment is emitting
smoke or fire.
Continued use of the equipment can cause
fire or electrical shock. Contact a FURUNO
agent for service.
Keep heater away from equipment.
A heater can melt the equipment's power
cord, which can cause fire or electrical
shock.
Use the proper fuse.
Fuse rating is shown on the power cable.
Use of a wrong fuse can result in damage
to the equipment.

FOREWORD
A Word to the Owner of the Model 1833/1933/1943
Marine Radar
FURUNO Electric Company thanks you for purchasing the Model 1833/1933/1943 Marine
Radar. We are confident you will discover why the F URUNO name has become
synonymous with quality and reliability.
For over 50 years FURUNO Electric Company has enjoyed an enviable reputation for
quality and reliability throughout the world. This dedication to excellence is furthered by our
extensive global network of agents and dealers.
Your equipment is designed and constructed to m eet the rigorous demands of the marine
environment. However, no machine can perform its intended function unless properly
installed and maintained. Please carefully read and follow the operation and maintenance
procedures set forth in this manual.
We would appreciate feedback from you, the end-user, about whether we are achieving our
purposes.
Thank you for considering and purchasing FURUNO.
The example screens shown in this manual may not match t he screens you see on your
display. The screen you see depends on your system configuration and equipment settings.

Features
The Model 1833/1933/1943 Marine Radar serie s work within our new product-network
system called the “NavNet.” Each product has an IP address to communicate with NavNet
compatible products within the network, using TCP/IP protocol through an Ethernet
10BASE-T network.
The main features are as follows:
• The 1833/1933/1943 series consists of the f ollowing models:
Model Output Range Radar Antenna
1833 4 kW 36 nm 2 ft Radome
1933 4 kW 48 nm 3.5 ft Open
1943 6 kW 64 nm 4 ft Open
• Bright 10” screen visible even under direct sunlight .
• User-friendly operation with combinat ion of discrete keys, soft keys, and trackball.
• Accepts FURUNO and NavCharts™ (NAVIONICS) charts, or C-MAP charts, depending
on specification.
• Fast chart redraw.
• Built-in NavNet interface circuit board.
• 12-channel GPS Receiver GP-310B with highly accurat e position fixing optionally
available, GP-320B with WAAS capability.
• User programmable function keys.
• Video sounder picture available with connection of the optional Network Sounder
ETR-6/10N.
ix
SYSTEM CONFIGURATIONS
All NavNet products incorporate a “network circuit board” to int egrate each NavNet product
on board through an optional LAN cable (Ethernet 10BASE-T). Each NavNet product is
assigned an IP address to enable transfer of images between other NavNet products. For
example, video plotter pictures can be transferred to a radar and vice versa. Pictures
received via the NavNet may be adjust ed at the receiving end.
A NavNet system may consist of up to four NavNet display units and one network sounder.
For a system incorporating three or more products, a “hub” is required to process data.

WHAT IS WAAS?
WAAS, available in North America, is a provider in the worldwide SBAS (Satellite
Based Augmentation System) navigation system. SBAS provides GPS signal
corrections to SBAS users, for even better position accuracy, typically better
than three meters. Two more SBAS providers are also currently under
development, MSAS (Multi-Functional Satellite Augmentation System) for Japan
and EGNOS (Euro Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service) for Europe. All
providers will be compatible with one another, thus providing “seamless” position
fixes to SBAS users. The illustration below shows the coverage area. (Accuracy
may be affected when using a GEO satellite not within your current location.)

At the time of this software release, SBAS is still under development (Providers
are expected to have initial operations capability from the times shown above.)
During this developmental period, which may last for several years, there is no
guarantee of the accuracy, integrity, continuity, or availability of the SBAS signal.
Furuno will accept no responsibility for the use of the signal for other than the
above stated purpose. It is the user's responsibility to exercise common
prudence and navigational judgment while using the SBAS signal. Users are
reminded that the SBAS has not been commissioned for use in safety of life
applications (SOLAS) and must be turned to the "OF F" position on any SOLAS
vessels.

1. OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW
1.1 Operating Controls
1.1.1 Display unit controls
Overview of display unit controls
The radar, video plotter, sounder and chart systems are operated with the
controls of the display unit (and the rem ot e controller). Ten keys are labeled and
they provide the function shown on their labels. The five soft keys provide
various functions according to current operating mode. The [ENTER] knob
mainly functions to register selections on t he menu and adjust the EBL, VRM
and gain. The trackball’s main function is to move the cursor across the screen.
When you correctly execute an operation, t he unit generates a beep. Invalid
operation causes the unit to emit three beeps.

1.2 Inserting a Chart Card
Your unit reads FURUNO and NavCharts™ (NAVIONICS) chart cards, or
C-MAP chart cards, depending on the type of display unit you have. Insert the
appropriate chart card for your area as follows:
1. Open the chart card drive.
Display unit
Chart drive
2. Insert desired chart card groove side up.
3. Close the lid to protect the chart drive.
Note 1: Do not remove a card while the chart is being drawn. This may cause
the equipment to freeze.
Note 2: Do not insert or remove a card while the power is on. This may cause
the equipment to freeze.
Note 3: For multiple display units, do not use the same chart card type in more
than one display unit.
Note 4: A card remover is supplied to ease removal of chart cards. Attach the
card remover to the right-hand side hole of the card and pull it to remove
the card. You can leave the remover attached to the card while the card
is in the chart drive. Push the remover leftward until it contacts the
recessed area on the card.

1.3 Turning the Unit On/Off
Press the [POWER/BRILL] key to turn the unit on. A beep sounds and the
equipment proceeds in the sequence sho wn below, displaying the product
information screen, startup test results and the chart usage disclaimer. The
startup test checks the ROM, RAM, internal battery and backup data for proper
operation, displaying the results for each as OK or NG (No Good). If NG appears
an appropriate message appears on the screen. For any NG, try to press any
key to go to the chart disclaimer screen, then perf orm the diagnostic test
referring to the paragraph “7.5 Diagnostics.”

Data boxes, providing navigation data, may be shown on any full-screen display.
Up to six data boxes (two in case of large characters) may be shown, and the
default data boxes are position (in latitude and longitude), course over ground,
speed over ground and trip log. The user may choose which data to display,
where to locate it, and show or hide it as desired. In addition, data boxes may be
set independently for each display mode (plotter, radar, sounder). For how to
