1. SYSTEM INTRODUCTION

This chapter provides the information necessary to get you started using your system. Some of the topics are how to turn on the equipment and an introduction to the main displays.

Standards used in this manual

• The keys and controls on the control panel are shown in bold face, for example the

DISP key. Other items that have a label, for example, the soft controls related to the RotoKey, are shown in brackets in normal typeface. For example, [Head Up].

• The RotoKey controls the "soft controls", a revolving set of soft controls that gives you access to full control of the NavNet 3D system. You rotate the RotoKey to select a soft control then push the RotoKey to do the function marked on the soft control. This manual states this operation procedure as "Use the RotoKey to select [menu item name or soft control name].” Note: RotoKey is a registered trademark or trademark of FURUNO Electric Co., Ltd.

• The menu system has a maximum of 15 menus and related sub menus. When you are asked to open a menu, the name of the menu and sub menu are given, separated by a hyphen. For example, "Open the [Routes-General] menu".

• There is more than one method to do a function, Key operation, pop-up menu and

RotoKey.

1.1 The NavNet 3D System

The NavNet 3D network is a system where all parts use the same information (navigation data, settings, points, routes, etc.). Each unit in the system displays information from other units and NMEA devices, like GPS navigator. Information is transferred between MFDs through a high-speed Ethernet.

Each MFD has a special "sleep mode" that allows each MFD to operate while using low power. The MFDs can be in three states:

• ON: Normal mode of operation. The screen is on and the user can operate the MFD. The MFD operates and transfers information across the network.

• Sleep Mode: The screen is turned OFF and only the power switch operates (to turn the power OFF). The MFD in this state can process controls and transfer information with other MFDs on the network. The MFD uses low current in this state.

• OFF: The MFD is turned OFF and does not control information. The MFD does not use any current in this state.

When power is applied to an MFD (with the power switch), all the other MFDs start in the sleep mode. If you operate the power switch on an MFD that is in the sleep mode, the MFD turns on. If you press the power switch on an MFD more than three seconds, all MFDs in the network are turned OFF.

Note: If you press a power switch more than 5-7 seconds, all MFDs turn OFF and power synchronization is lost. To restore power synchronization, first turn off all MFDs.

1-1

1. SYSTEM INTRODUCTION

Then, hold down the power switch of the MFD that was responsible for loss of power synchronization for three seconds.

1.1.1 How to sleep the equipment

You can sleep the equipment when its use is not required continuously. With the Standard or Full RotoKey set active, push the RotoKey, rotate the key to select [Sleep] then push the key. To un-sleep the equipment, push the power key until the picture appears.

1.2 Controls

The controller for this system is either the MFD8 or MFD12.

A key that has two text labels separated by a line has two functions. The top label is the main function and the bottom label, the secondary function. Short-push to access the main function and long-push (approximately three seconds) to access the secondary function.

You operate the chart plotter, radar, fish finder, etc. with

• Keys

• CursorPad

• ScrollingPad

• RotoKey

• Menus, where you select options

• Pop-up menus, where you select options

• Lists, where you can edit items

When you operate a key, a single beep sounds to tell you correct operation. For wrong operation, three beeps sound. If you do not need the key beep, deactivate the beep sound from the [Global-General] menu.

1.8 Radar Introduction

A radar system operates in the microwave part of the radio-frequency (RF) range. The radar detects the position and movement of objects. Objects are shown on the radar display at their measured distances and bearings in intensities according to echo strength.

The radar display is available in head-up, course-up and north-up modes and orientation in true and relative motion. The relative motion display shows other vessels movement relative to your vessel. The true motion display shows your vessel and other objects in motion according to their true courses and speeds.

Two VRMs measure the range to targets, and two EBLs measure the bearing to targets. A guard zone tells you when the radar targets are in the area you indicate. The trail of targets can be shown in afterglow to monitor their movements.

The dual-range display scans and displays two different radar ranges at the same time. This display lets you watch on both short and long ranges at the same time.

1.9 Fish Finder Introduction

The fish finder screen provides a “picture” of the echoes found by the fish finder. Echoes are scrolled across the screen from the right position to the left position. The number of minutes an echo is displayed on the screen is controlled by the picture advance speed.

The echoes at the right position are the current echoes. These echoes can be from separate fish, a school of fish, or the bottom. Depth to the bottom is indicated always, provided the gain is set correctly.

Both low and high-frequency TX frequencies are provided. (Frequencies depend on the transducer connected.) The low frequency has a wide detection area, which is for general detection and understanding bottom conditions. The high frequency has a narrow beam that helps you inspect fish.

The range, gain, clutter and TVG can be adjusted automatically according to your purpose (cruising or fishing) to let you do other tasks.

The color bar at the left edge of the display shows the range of colors used to display different echo strengths. Weaker echoes appear in colors near the bottom of the scale, and stronger echoes appear in colors near the top.

2.1 Charts

2.1.1 Chart Description

A world map in raster chart format is included in your unit. A vector chart for the US coastline (Alaska and Hawaii included) is provided also. To use this chart plotter as a navigational aid, have electronic charts (stored in the hard disk) for the area you navigate. Contact your dealer about charts for your area. To control the charts stored in your system, see the section 13.7 "How to Control Charts".

Raster charts are digitized scans of NOAA paper charts. Raster charts have information like notes, source diagrams, tidal diamonds, horizontal and vertical datum, etc.

Vector charts are digital files that contain marine features and information created for marine navigation. These charts are made according to the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO).

Fishing charts are vector charts that show only detailed depth contours. These are available for US waters.

See the next two pages for sample charts.

4.1 About Points

In navigation terminology, a point is any location you mark on the chart plotter display. A point can be a fishing spot, reference point and other important locations. You can use a point you have entered to set a destination.

This unit has 2,000 points into which you can enter position information. There are three methods that you can use to mark a point:

• At your current position

• At cursor position

• From a Points list

When you enter a point, the point is put on the screen with the default point symbol and the youngest empty point number. The position of the point, symbol and navigation information (range, bearing, etc.) are saved to the Points list. You can show or hide the points, and the default setting shows all points.
