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.

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.

Congratulation on your choice of t he 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 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.

3. TRACK

Your ship’s track (main and sub tracks) is plotted on the screen using navigation data fed from the built-in GPS navigator. When connecting with an ARPA-equipped radar, other ship’s track can also be plotted. This chapter shows you how to turn track on or off, and change its color and plotting interval. Own ship’s track is displayed in red in the default setting.

3.2 Stopping, Rest a r ting Plotting of Own Ship Track

When your boat is at anchor or returning to port, you probably won’t need to record its track. You can stop recording the track, to conserve the track memory, as follows.

1. Press the [PLOT INTVL] key several times to show the “H” (Hold) icon (at the bottom of the screen). Each time the key is pressed the track function available changes in the sequence shown below.

TRACK INTERVAL 1 -> TRACK INTERVAL 2 -> HOLD -> TRACK INTERVAL 1

Track plotting interval or “HOLD” appears at the top right corner of the NAV INFO 1 (or 2) display. When plotting is stopped, own ship’s mark changes from a solid circle to a hollow one and track is not stored in the memory.

a) Rotate the [ENTER] knob to select “RED: xxx.x°C ABOVE.”

b) Press the [0], [1], [8], [0] in that order, and then press the [ENTER] knob.

Note: To erase, press the [CLEAR] key.

c) Set ranges for other colors similarly. You cannot enter the range for WHITE. It

becomes the same range as BLUE automatically.

7. Press the [MENU] key several times to close the menu.

Changing own ship’s track color accordi ng to temperature variation

This setting paints the track in up to five colors according to temperature variation. When you select “0.2ºF”, for example, the track is painted red when the water temperature is between 17.0 and 17.2 degrees; yellow when the water temperature is between 17.2 and 17.3 degrees. Thus, the track color changes green, blue and purple in 0.2 degree steps. When the water temperature becomes 18.0 degrees, the track color returns to red.

3.5 Track Plotting Method, Interval

In drawing the track, the ship’s position is stored into the unit’s memory at an interval of time or distance. A shorter interval provides better reconstruction of the track, but the storage time of the track is reduced. When the track memory becomes full, the oldest track is erased to make room for the latest.

● Press the [PLOT INTVL] key to select the track plotting method.

Each time the key is pressed the plotting method changes in the sequence shown below.

5. WAYPOINT

In navigation terminology, a waypoint is a particular location on a voyage whether it be a starting, intermediate or destination point. A waypoint is the simplest piece of information your equipment requires to get you a destination, in the shortest distance possible.

5.1 Entering Waypoints

This unit has 3500 waypoints into which you can enter position information. There are seven methods by which you can enter a waypoint: at own ship’s position, by cursor, by latitude and longitude, by range and bearing, by Loran-C, by Loran-A LOP and by Decca LOP.

5.1.1 Entering waypoints at own ship’s position

• Press the [SAVE/MOB] key momentarily.

The message “WAYPOINT XXXXXX IS SAVED! CONTINUE PRESSING FOR MOB!” appears for three seconds to let you know that ship’s position is saved as a waypoint. The default waypoint mark is a yellow solid circle. You can know shape and color of the selected waypoint by the icon ( plotter (or pilot) display. This new waypoint will automatically be saved in the waypoint list under the next consecutive waypoint number.

Note: If the waypoint icon does not appear at the bottom of the plotter (or pilot)

display, do the following.

a) Press the [MENU], [0], [1] in that order to show the DISPLAY SETUP menu.
