Do not open the equipment.

Only qualified personnel should work inside the equipment.

Do not disassemble or modify the equipment.

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.

Do not operate the unit with wet hands.

Erectlic shock can result.

About the TFT LCD

The TFT LCD is constructed using the latest LCD techniques, and displays 99.99% of its pixels. The remaining 0.01% of the pixels may drop out or blink, however this is not an indication of malfunction.

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.

Use the proper fuse.

Fuse rating is shown on the power cable. Use of a wrong fuse can result in damage to the equipment.

No single navigation aid should even be relied upon as the exclusive means for navigating your vessel.

The navigator is responsible for checking all aids (including nautical charts) available to confirm his position. Electronic aids are intended to assist, not replace, the navigator.

Do not use the equipment for other than its intended purpose.

WARNING LABEL

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.

FOREWORD

Congratulation on your choice of the FURUNO GPS COLOR PLOTTER GP-3500. For over 50 years FURUNO Electric Company has enjoyed an enviable reputation for innovative and dependable marine electronics equipment. This dedication to excellence is furthered by our extensive global network of agents and dealers.

The equipment is designed and constructed to meet the rigorous demands of the marine environment. However, no machine can perform its intended function unless installed, operated and maintained properly. Please carefully read and follow the recommended procedures for operation and maintenance.

Feature

The GP-3500 consists of the display unit and antenna unit. The display unit is totally integrated GPS receiver and color video plotter.

The GPS receiver tracks up to thirteen satellites (GPS: 12, WAAS: 1) simultaneously, and an 8-state Kalman filter ensures optimum accuracy in determination of vessel position, course and speed.

Main features of the GP-3500

Bright 10.4-inch color TFT LCD with temperature compensated tone and brilliance control

Simplified operation using individual keys, ENTER knob and trackball

Three lines, main and sub of own ship’s track, and other ship’s track can be displayed simultaneously.

Accepts FURUNO and NavCharts (NAVIONICS) charts, or C-MAP NT charts (C-MAP), depending on specification. All names mentioned are registered trademarks of their respective companies.

Fast chart redraw.

Built-in backup memory stores 80,000 points total of own ship’s tracks and marks

Stores 3500 waypoints and 200 routes with up to 35 waypoints.

Man overboard feature records latitude and longitude coordinates at time of man overboard.

Alarms: Arrival, Anchor Watch, Cross-track Error, Proximity, Speed, Trip, Temperature, Current and Depth.

User programmable PROG key

Own ship and cursor positions may be shown in latitude and longitude, Loran A, Loran C or Decca LOPs.

Data storage on memory cards.

Improved position accuracy with optional DGPS beacon receiver.

1.2Loading a Mini 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 before turning the power on to show chart data automatically.

Note: Static electricity can be passed through your fingers to a card and destroy the contents of the card. To prevent this, always touch a metallic object, such as a steel desk, before handling a memory card.

1. Push down the lid catch to open the mini chart card slot cover.

This equipment takes about 90 seconds to find its position when turned on for the very first time. Thereafter it takes about 12 seconds to find position each time the power is turned on. The message "NO FIX", which means the equipment is mow findings its position, appears at the bottom of the Plotter (or Pilot) display immediately after turning the power on. When the GPS receiver finds its position, "NO FIX" changes to "2D" or "3D" to show that position data is now accurate.

2.1.2Pilot display

The pilot display is similar to the plotter display, with the following differences.

1)The pilot display orientation is always auto course-up. The course is at the top of screen at the moment the pilot display is selected. A filled triangle marks own ship’s position. When own ship is off its intended course by 22.5° or more, it is automatically brought back to perpendicular.

2)The north mark () appears at the bottom of the screen and points to north.

3)The grid lines denote the distance from own ship, not longitude/latitude.

Note: When north is not at the top of screen, the distance error may be larger than on the plotter display since the Mercator projection is used.
