aids to navigation, for safety of vessel and

crew.

Do not turn on the equipment with the

transducer out of water.

The transducer may be damaged.

Use the proper gain setting.

Incorrect gain may produce wrong depth

indication, possibly result ing in a

dangerous situation. See "Adjusting the

gain" on page 10-11.

The picture is not refreshed when

picture advancement is stopped.

Maneuvering the vessel in this condition

may result in a dangerous situation.

FOREWORD

Congratulations on your choice of the FURUNO GP-7000F COLOR

GPS/PLOTTER/SOUNDER. We are confident you will see why the FURUNO

name has become synonymous with quality and reliability.

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.

This 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

Features

The GP-7000F provides a totally integrated GPS receiver, color video plotter and

color video sounder.

The GPS receiver tracks up to 13 satellites (GPS: 12, WAAS: 1) simultaneously,

and an 8-state Kalman filter ensures optimum accuracy in determination of

vessel position, course and speed.

• C-MAP NT + and MAX chart card (SD) is available.

• Comprehensive navigation data displays.

• Bright 7-inch color TFT LCD with brilliance control.

• Automatic coastline chart loading.

• Position display in latitude and longitude, Loran C TD.

• Alarms: Arrival, Anchor Watch, Cross-track Error, Speed, Grounding, Fish,

Depth, Temperature.

• Man overboard feature records latitude and longitude coordinates at the time

of man overboard.

• “Highway” display provides graphic presentation of ship’s track and is useful

for monitoring cross track error.

• Automatic or manual video sounder operation.

charts, stored on SD

cards. Insert the

appropriate chart card for your area before turning the power on to show chart

data automatically.

Note 1: 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 an SD

card.

Note 2: Do not insert or remove a card while the power is on. This may cause

the equipment to freeze.

C-MAP electronic charts (ECs) are derived from

geographical data -including official government

charts - which we believe to be accurate.They are

neither verified nor approved by Hydrographic

Authorities. C-MAP ECs are designed only to ease

and speed navigation calculations and so must not

be relied upon as aprimary source of navigation

information, but rather a backup to the use of

official government charts and prudent navigation

habits.

There is no direct relationship between the color

of water areas and their depth. The navigator shall

always query the area for depth information and use

the official paper charts.

WARNING

Start-up sequence

Note 1: 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.

Note 2: If the message “SYSTEM HAS FAILED START UP TEST. PLEASE

CONTACT A LOCAL FURUNO REPRESENTATIVE FOR REPAIR.

PRESS ANY KEY TO CONTINUE.” appears, contact your dealer for

advice.

Note 3: At the very first time you turn on your unit, the simulation mode window

appears. Choose YES or NO as appropriate and push the [ENTER]

knob.

The equipment takes 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 now

finding its position, appears at the bottom of the plotter 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.

Turning the power off

Press and hold the [POWER/BRILL] key until the screen goes blank (about four

seconds).

2.1 Presentation Modes

The plotter display mainly shows chart, ship’s track, waypoints, and navigation

data.

Three types of display presentations are provided for the normal plotter display:

north-up, course-up and auto course-up. To change the mode, use the

presentation mode selection soft key, which is the leftmost soft key.

2.1.1 North-up

1. Press any soft key to show the soft key labels.

2. Press the NORTH UP soft key to show the north-up display. North (zero

degree) is at the top of the display.

When the cursor is on, the own ship moves and the chart is fixed. (True motion)

When the cursor is off, the chart, waypoints and other marks move and own ship

is fixed. (Relative motion)

To turn the cursor off, press the CENTER soft key.

2.5 Compass Display

The compass display, shown in combination displays, provides steering

information. The compass rose shows two triangles: the red triangle shows own

ship’s course and the black triangle, which moves with ship’s course, shows the

bearing to destination waypoint.

The water temperature and depth graphs, which require appropriate sensors,

shows the latest 10 minutes of water temperature and depth data.

Reading t he XTE (cross-track error) mon itor

The XTE monitor, located below the compass rose, shows the distance you are

off course and the direction to steer to return to course. The own ship marker in

the monitor moves according to direction and distance off course. An arrow

appears at the right or left side of the XTE monitor and it shows the direction to

steer to return to intended course. It is shown in red when you should steer left,

and green when you should steer right. In the example above you would steer

left to return to course. To maintain course, steer the vessel so the own ship

marker stays at the center of the XTE monitor. Note that the XTE range can be

changed by rotating the [ENTER] knob.
