FOREWORD
A Word to the Owner of the GD-1700/1710 Series
Video Plotter
FURUNO Electric Company thanks you for purchasing the GD-1700/1710 Series Video
Plotter. We are confident you will discover why the FURUNO 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.
Yo ur plotter is designed and constructed to m eet t he 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 the screens you see on your
display. The screen you see depends on your system configuration and equipment settings.

Features
The 1700 series wor k within our new pr oduc t-network system c alled the “NavNet.” Each
product has an IP addr es s to communicate wit h NavN et compatible products within the
network, using TCP/IP protocol through an Ethernet 10BASE-T netw ork.
The mai n features are as f ollows:
• Three models are available:
GD-1700: Monochrome LCD
GD-1700C: Color LCD
GD-1710C: High-precision color LCD
• Bright 7” screen visible even under direct s unlight.
• User-friendly oper ation with combination of di s c rete k eys, sof t keys and cursor pad.
• Accepts FURUNO an d NavChart s ™ ( NAVIONICS) c har ts, or C- MAP NT/NT+ charts
(C-MAP), depending on s pec ification.
All names ment ioned are registered trademarks of thei r r espec tive companies.
• Fast chart redraw.
• Built-in NavNet interface ci r c uit board.
• 12-channel GPS Rec eiver GP-310B with highly accurate position fixing opt ionally
available, GP-320B with WAAS capability .
• User programmable f unc tion key s .
• Radar picture available with connection to NavNet com patible radar.
• Video sounder picture avail able wi th connection of the optional Network S ounder
ETR-6/ 10N or E TR-30N.
• Optional memory c ar d interface unit CU-200.
ix
SYSTEM CONFIGURATIONS
All NavNet products incorporate a “network circui t board” to integrate each NavNet product
on board through an optional LAN cable (Ethernet 10BASE-T). Each NavNet product is
assigned an IP addr es s to enable transfer of images between other NavNet products . For
example, video plott er pictures can be t r ans ferr ed to a radar and vice versa. Pictures
received vi a t he NavNet may be adjusted at the receiving end.
The number of display units which may be installed depends on the number of
networ k s ounder connecte d. For a sy s tem incorporati ng three or more product s ,
a “hub” is requi r ed to process data.
For one network sounder: one radar and three plotters, or four plott er s
For two network sounder: one radar a nd two plot ters, or four plotters

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

1.1 Operating Controls
1.1.1 Display unit controls
Overview of display u nit control s
The plotter, radar, sounder and chart systems are mainly operated with controls
of the display unit (and remote 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 the menu and enter alphanumeric data. The cursor pad’s
main function is to move the cursor across the screen. When you correctly
execute an operation, the 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 t he type of display unit you have. Insert the
appropriate chart card f or your area as follows:
1. Open the chart c ard slot lid.
Chart slot

2. Insert des ired chart card gr oove side up.
3. Close the l id to protect the chart drive.
Note 1: Do not remove a card while the chart is being drawn. This may c aus e
the equipme nt to freeze.
Note 2: Do not insert or rem ov e a c ard while the power is on. This may c aus e
the equipme nt to freeze.
Note 3: For multiple display uni ts, do not use t he s am e c hart card t ype in more
than one dis play uni t.
Note 4: A c ar d rem over is suppl ied to ease removal of char t cards. Attach the
card remover to the right - hand side hole on the card and pull to remove
card. You can leave the c ard remover attached to the card while the

1.3 Tu rning the Unit On/Off
Press the [POWER/BRILL] key to turn the unit on. A beep sounds and the
equipment proceeds in the sequence shown below, displaying the production
information screen, startup test results and the chart usage disclaimer. The
startup test checks the ROM, RAM, internal battery and backup data f or 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.”

with the radar display, t he magnetron takes from one minute to two minutes
and thirty seconds (depending or radar model) to warm up bef ore t he radar can
be operated. The time remaining for warm up of the magnet ron is counted down
at the center of the display.
To turn the unit off, press and hold down the [POWER/BRI LL] key until the
