SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
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.
Make sure no rain or water splash
leaks into the equipment.
Fire or electrical shock can result if water
leaks in the equipment.
Do not operate the unit with wet hands.
Erectlic shock can result.
Do not maneuver the vessel based on
the depth indication alone.
Grounding may result.
CAUTION
Use the proper gain seting.
Incorrect gain may produce wrong depth
indication, possibly resulting in a dangerous
situation.
The picture is not refreshed when
picture advancement is stopped.
Maneuvering the vessel in this condition
may result in a dangerous situation.
Do not turn on the equipment with the
transducer out of water.
The transducer may be damaged.
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.
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.
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.
To avoid electrical shock, do not
remove cover. No user-serviceable
parts inside.

FOREWORD
Congratulation on your choice of the FURUNO COLOR G PS/PLOTTER/
SOUNDER GP-3500F. 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 dem ands of
the marine environment. However, no machine can perform its int ended function
unless installed, operated and maintained properly. Please carefully read and
follow the recommended procedures for operation and maintenance.
Feature
The GP-3500F is a totally integrated GPS receiver, color video plotter and color
video sounder consisting of a display unit, antenna unit and transducer.
The GPS receiver tracks up to 13 satellites (GPS: 12, WAAS: 1) simultaneously,
and an 8-state Kalman filt er ensures optimum accuracy in determination of
vessel position, course and speed.
Main features of the GP-3500F
• 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, other ship’s track) can be displayed
simultaneously.
• Accepts FURUNO and NavCharts
(NAVIONICS) charts, or C-MAP NT/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, Depth and Fish.
• 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.
• 50 and 200 kHz dual frequency transducer
available
• Automatic function permits unatt ended
adjustment of range, gain and clutter.
• Past sounder display can be shown.

1.2 Loading a Mini Chart Card
Your unit reads FURUNO and NavCharts (NAVIONICS) chart cards, or C-MAP
(available in near future) 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.

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
now 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.
