Features
The GD-3300 and the GP-3300 mostly share the same features. The
GP-3300 is additionally equipped with a GPS receiver and a GPS
antenna, to receive and process GPS satellite signals.
Navigation data appear on a high-resolution 10.4-inch color LCD.
Data shown are shp’s position in latitude and longitude, speed and
course, cursor position, range and bearing to cursor, range and bearing to a waypoint.
The display unit is powered by a 12 V or 24 VDC power supply.
• GP-3300 accepts connection of DGPS Beacon Receiver

OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW
This chapter acquaints you with the basics of your unit – from turning on the power to entering the time and date.
1.1 Control Description
The keyboard consists of 40 logically arranged keys. The unit confirms correct key input by releasing a single beep. Invalid key input
is denoted by a series of beeps.
Normally, insert appropriate chart card before turning on the power.
1. Open the card drive cover.
Figure 1-2 Opening chart slot
1-2
2. Insert the electronic chart card which contains a chart of your sea
area into the lower card drive.
Figure 1-3 Inserting chart card
Note: Always close the card drive cover to keep humidity and water
out of the drive.
1.3 Turning the Power On/Off
Turning the power on
Press the [POWER] switch at bottom left-hand side of the unit. You
will hear a “peep” when turning on the power. To turn off the power
press the switch again.
After turning on the power the display changes in the sequence illustrated in Figure 1-4. About 20 seconds later accurate own ship’ s position is displayed in case of the GP-3300.

For the GP-3300, at the first power application after installation, it
takes about two minutes to acquire GPS satellite data, called the almanac. While the unit is acquiring the almanac, the indication “CST”
appears at the top of the display . “CST” is replaced by “2D” or “ACQ”
after the almanac is acquired. If the vessel has moved more than 600
miles with the system turned off, reenter estimated position on the
GPS INITIAL SETTINGS menu (key sequence: [MENU], [8], [
]).
If asterisks appear instead of ship’s position data, this means there is
no navigation input. Check to make sure proper navigation aid is
selected on the INITIAL SETTINGS menu (keying sequence:
[MENU], [8]).

1.4 The Trackball
1.5 The Cursor
The main function of the trackball is to
shift the cursor and the display. The display may be shifted when the cursor is
turned off; the cursor when it is turned on.
Figure 1-5 Operating the trackball,
shifting the picture (cursor off)
The cursor functions to
• Find latitude and longitude of a location
• Find range and bearing from your ship to position selected
• Enter and erase marks, lines and waypoints
Note: Y ou can select cursor configuration (cross hairs or entire screen
cursor) on the INITIAL SETTINGS menu (keying sequence:
[MENU], [8]). The default cursor configuration is the cross hairs.
Turning the cursor on/off
Each press of the [CURSOR ON/OFF] key turns the cursor on/off.
With the cursor on, operate the trackball or the arrow keys to shift the
cursor. Use the trackball for general placement and the arrow keys
for fine tuning. The cursor moves in the direction of the trackball
moves. When the cursor reaches the edge of the display, the display
shifts in the opposite direction.

[CURSOR ON/OFF] key.
2. Operate the trackball to place cursor on position desired.
3. Press the [CENTER] key.

the [ZOOM OUT] key “blows up” the picture. With a smaller range,
you may find that the track appears in tiers.
The horizontal range of the display in nautical miles appears at the
top right-hand corner of the Data Display. Whenever the scale is
changed the new range appears momentarily at the screen center.
