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.

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.

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.
