SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
ii
WARNINGWARNING
Do not open the equipment.
Hazardous voltage which can cause
electrical shock, burn or serious injury
exists inside 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 electrical shock.
Do not operate the equipment with wet
hands.
CAUTION
Do not use the equipment for other than
its intended purpose.
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.
Do not turn on the equipment with the
transducer out of water.
The transducer may be damaged.
Use the proper gain setting.
Incorrect gain may produce wrong depth
indication, possibly result ing in a
dangerous situation. See "Adjusting the
gain" on page 10-11.
Electrical shock can result.
Use the proper fuse.
Fuse rating is shown on the power cable.
Use of a wrong fuse can result in damage
to the equipment.
Do not maneuver the vessel based
on the depth indication alone.
Grounding may result.
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.
The picture is not refreshed when
picture advancement is stopped.
Maneuvering the vessel in this condition
may result in a dangerous situation.
A warning label is attached to the equipment. Do not remove the label. If the
label is missing or illegible, contact

color video sounder.
The GPS receiver tracks up to 13 satellites (GPS: 12, WAAS: 1) simultaneously,
and an 8-state Kalman filter ensures optimum accuracy in determination of
vessel position, course and speed.
• C-MAP NT + and MAX chart card (SD) is available.
• Comprehensive navigation data displays.
• Bright 7-inch color TFT LCD with brilliance control.
• Automatic coastline chart loading.
• Position display in latitude and longitude, Loran C TD.
• Alarms: Arrival, Anchor Watch, Cross-track Error, Speed, Grounding, Fish,
Depth, Temperature.
• Man overboard feature records latitude and longitude coordinates at the time
of man overboard.
• “Highway” display provides graphic presentation of ship’s track and is useful
for monitoring cross track error.
• Automatic or manual video sounder operation.

Your unit reads C-MAP NT+ /NT MAX
appropriate chart card for your area before turning the power on to show chart
data automatically.
Note 1: 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 an SD
Note 2: Do not insert or remove a card while the power is on. This may cause
the equipment to freeze.

C-MAP electronic charts (ECs) are derived from
geographical data -including official government
charts - which we believe to be accurate.They are
neither verified nor approved by Hydrographic
Authorities. C-MAP ECs are designed only to ease
and speed navigation calculations and so must not
be relied upon as aprimary source of navigation
information, but rather a backup to the use of
official government charts and prudent navigation
habits.
There is no direct relationship between the color
of water areas and their depth. The navigator shall
always query the area for depth information and use
the official paper charts.
WARNING
In about 30 seconds the
last-used display appears.
You can go to the last-used
display faster by pressing any
key when this screen appears.
Start-up sequence
Note 1: The example screens shown in this manual may not match the screens
you see on your display. The screen you see depends on your system
configuration and equipment settings.
Note 2: If the message “SYSTEM HAS FAILED START UP TEST. PLEASE
CONTACT A LOCAL FURUNO REPRESENTATIVE FOR REPAIR.
PRESS ANY KEY TO CONTINUE.” appears, contact your dealer for
advice.
Note 3: At the very first time you turn on your unit, the simulation mode window
appears. Choose YES or NO as appropriate and push the [ENTER]
knob.
The equipment takes 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
finding its position, appears at the bottom of the plotter 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.
Turning the power off
Press and hold the [POWER/BRILL] key until the screen goes blank (about four
seconds).

The plotter display mainly shows chart, ship’s track, waypoints, and navigation
data.
Three types of display presentations are provided for the normal plotter display:
north-up, course-up and auto course-up. To change the mode, use the
presentation mode selection soft key, which is the leftmost soft key.
2.1.1 North-up
1. Press any soft key to show the soft key labels.
2. Press the NORTH UP soft key to show the north-up display. North (zero

The compass display, shown in combination displays, provides steering
information. The compass rose shows two triangles: the red triangle shows own
ship’s course and the black triangle, which moves with ship’s course, shows the
bearing to destination waypoint.
The water temperature and depth graphs, which require appropriate sensors,
shows the latest 10 minutes of water temperature and depth data.

Compass distance
Reading t he XTE (cross-track error) mon itor
The XTE monitor, located below the compass rose, shows the distance you are
off course and the direction to steer to return to course. The own ship marker in
the monitor moves according to direction and distance off course. An arrow
appears at the right or left side of the XTE monitor and it shows the direction to
steer to return to intended course. It is shown in red when you should steer left,
and green when you should steer right. In the example above you would steer
left to return to course. To maintain course, steer the vessel so the own ship
marker stays at the center of the XTE monitor. Note that the XTE range can be
changed by rotating the [ENTER] knob.
