NAVMAN TRACKER 5507/5607 Installation and Operation Manual

It is your sole responsibility to install and use NAVMAN’s instrument and GPS antenna in a manner that will
not cause accidents, personal injury or property damage. Always observe safe boating practices.
The choice, location, angle and installation of the instrument & GPS antenna are critical to performance
of the system as intended. Follow instructions in this manual carefully. If in doubt, consult your NAVMAN
dealer.
Ensure that any holes cut are in a safe position and will not weaken the boat’s structure. If in doubt, consult
a qualified boat builder.
Global Position System: The global Position System (GPS) is operated by the U.S. Government which is
solely responsible for its operation, accuracy and maintenance. The GPS is subject to changes which could
affect the accuracy and performance of all GPS equipment anywhere in the world, including the 5507/5607
and TRACKFISH. To reduce the risk of misusing or misinterpreting the 5507/5607 and TRACKFISH, you must
read and understand all aspects of this Installation & Operation Manual. We also recommend that practice
all operations using the built-in simulator before using the 5507/5607 or TRACKFISH.
Electronic Chart: The electronic chart used by 5507/5607 or TRACKFISH is an aid to navigation designed
to supplement, not replace official government charts. Only official government charts supplemented by
notices to mariners contain the information required for safe and prudent navigation, Always supplement
the electronic information provided by 5507/5607 or TRACKFISH with other plotting sources such as
observations, depth soundings, radar and hand compass bearings. Should the information not agree, the
discrepancy must be resolved before proceeding any further.
AIS: The AIS features on this chart-plotter are designed as a safety aid only and do not guarantee safety
at sea. AIS transmission is mandatory on some, but not all, vessels. You should check your local laws and
regulations for requirements in your area. As a result of different legal requirements, different vessel sizes
and uses, you should not assume that your AIS equipped chart-plotter will show the location of ALL vessels
in your area. Careful prudence, judgement, and safe navigation practices should be always be exercised. AIS
should be used to complement radar, but AIS is not a substitute for radar.
Fuel Computer: Do not rely on the fuel computer as the sole source of information regarding available
fuel onboard. Fuel economy can change drastically depending on boat loading and sea conditions. Fuel
Computer information should be supplemented by visual or other checks of the fuel load. This is necessary
due to possible operator errors such as forgetting to reset the fuel used when filling the tank, running the
engine with the Fuel Computer not switched on, or on other operator actions that may render the device
inaccurate. Always carry adequate fuel onboard for the intended trip, plus a reserve to allow for unforeseen
circumstances.
Failure to adhere to these warnings may lead to death, serious injury or property damage. NAVMAN
disclaims all liability for installation or use of this product that causes or contributes to death, injury
or property damage or that violates any law.
As NAVMAN is continuously improving this product we retain the right to make changes to the product at
any time which may not be reflected in this version of the manual. Please contact your nearest NAVMAN
office if you require any further assistance.
Governing Language: This statement, any instruction manuals, user guides and other information relating
to the product (Documentation) may be translated to, or have been translated from, another language
(Translation). In the event of conflict between any Translations of the Documentation, the English language
version of the Documentation will be the official version.

menus depend on the optional sensors and
instruments that are installed:
1 The Fuel functions require optional
petrol/gasoline, diesel or Smar tCraft™ fuel
sensors to be installed and set up.
2 SmartCraft™ engine functions require a
SmartCraft™ system to be installed. For
information on using SmartCraft™, see the
1-1 Overview
SmartCra ft™ Gateway Installati on and
Operatio n Manual.
3 The 5507/5607 can send data to other
instruments, such as an autopilot, and receive

www.navman.com.
1-3 Plug-in cards
The 5507/5607 can use two kinds of plug-in card:
1 C-MAP™ chart cards have chart details
required for navigating in a particular
region. When a chart card is plugged in, the
extra details automatically appear on the
5507/5607 chart window.
The 5507/5607 can use NT, NT+, NT-MAX and
NT-MAX2 cards.
2 C-MAP™ user cards are used to store
navigation data. Each user card expands the
5507/5607 memory and allows the data to be
transferred to another 5507/5607 easily (see
section 12).
Note: The older 5 volt user cards are not
supported.
