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.

WARNING

Name: Warning Label (1) Type: 86-003-1011-1 Code No.: 100-236-231

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

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.

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.

This equipment uses both FURUNO and NAVIONICS chart cards or C-MAP NT mini chart cards depending on its specificat ions. When you insert a suitable chart card in the right side slot and turn on the power, a chart appears. If a wrong card is inserted or a wrong chart scale is selected, landmasses will be hollow. Insert the proper card and select a suitable chart scale. Chart icons appear at the bottom of the plotter (or pilot) display to help you select a suitable chart size.

Changing own ship ’s track color according to temperature variation

This setting paints the track in up to f ive 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, t he track color changes green, blue and purple in 0.2 degree steps. When the water temperature becomes 18.0 degrees, the track color returns t o red.

3.5 Track Plotting Method, Inter val

In drawing the track, the ship’s position is stored into the unit’s memory at an interval of time or distance. A shorter int erval 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.

5. WAYPOINT

In navigation terminology, a waypoint is a particular location on a voyage whether it be a starting, intermediate or destinat ion point. A waypoint is the simplest piece of information your equipment requires t o 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 LOP, 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 k now that ship’s position is saved as a waypoint. The default waypoint mark is a yellow solid circle. You can know the 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. b) Select “1. ON” at “WAYPOINT STATUS” from page 2/2.
