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.

Erectlic shock can result.

WARNING LABEL

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.

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.

To avoid electrical shock, do not remove cover. No user-serviceable parts inside.

For over 50 years FURUNO Electric Company has enjoyed an enviable reputation for innovative and dependable marine electronics equipment. This dedication to excellence is furt hered by our extensive global network of agents and dealers.

The equipment is designed and constructed to meet the rigorous demands of the marine environment. Ho wever, no machine can perform its intended function unless installed, operated and m aintained 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 plott er.

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.
