Operating Manual 3
The
NS100
has been designed to provide essential information with a very
simple and user friendly interface. Speed, heading, GPS coordinates and man
overboard (MOB) functions are all accessible in a simple push of a button and
clearly displayed on the backlit LCD, ideal for a night race and making your sailing
safer.
Compact (125 mm x 80 mm x 26 mm) and very intuitive, the
NS100
is a light
portable device which is completely waterproof, ultra robust, and made of
bombproof polycarbonate and anodized aluminium.
Powered by only one AA battery, the
NS100
gives sailors accurate information for
over 30 hours. It can be installed in minutes and there is no need to drill a hole in
the hull or use a wired connection.
We hope you enjoy sailing with the
NS100
. We encourage you to read this
manual thoroughly to learn about the many features of your exciting new Novasail
product.
Introduction
NS100
Operating Manual4
Wherever you mount the
NS100
, it shouldn’t be flush to any thick surface such as
the hull, so that the sensitivity of the embedded GPS receiver is not affected. Also
a direct mount on a metal surface will reduce the receiver sensitivity.
