Important information i
Important Information
Intended use
The C-Series display unit can be used in GPS-based or marine radar-based navigation
systems on non-IMO/SOLAS class leisure vessels or small workboats.
This handbook tells you how to operate and maintain the C-Series display effectively.
For information on system integration and how to install the unit, refer to the C-Series
Installation Guide supplied with the display.
Safety notices
WARNING: Navigation Aid
This device is intended to be used as an aid to n avigation. Its
accuracy can be affected by many factors, including equipment
failure or defects, environmental conditions and incorrect
handling or use. It is the user’s responsibility to exercise
common prudence and navigational judgement. This device
should not be relied upon as a substitute for such prudence and
judgement.
WARNING:Product installation
This equipment must be installed in accordance with the instructions in the C-Series System Installation Guide. Failure to do so could result in poor product performance, personal injury and/or damage to the vessel.
WARNING:High voltage
The display unit and scanner unit contain high voltages.
Adjustments require specialized service procedures and tools
only available to qualified service technicians - there are no
user serviceable parts or adjustments. The operator should
never remove the display unit cover or attempt to service the
equipment.
WARNING:Electromagnetic energy The radar scanner transmits electromagnetic energy. Ensure that the scanner has been installed according to the recommendations given in the relevant scanner handbook. Avoid looking directly at the antenna.
Page 8
ii C-Series Display New Features
WARNING:Fishfinder sounder module
Removing the transducer cable from the rear of the fishfinder
sounder module whilst it is switched on can cause sparks. Only
remove the transducer cable after power has been switched
off. Ensure that the sounder module is mounted where it is well
ventilated and in an area free from flammable vapors.
CAUTION: Water Ingress
To prevent the ingress of water and consequent damage to the display, ensure that the chart card door is firmly closed. This can be confirmed by an audible click.
CAUTION: CompactFlash Cards
• Removing the CompactFlash card whilst information is being written to
or read from it may cause damage to the card and loss of all data. Use the
proper procedure detailed on
• Do not save data (waypoints, routes etc.) to a Navionics card as the charts
may be overwritten. When archiving use a different CompactFlash card.
• DO NOT use a metallic instrument such as a screwdriver or pliers to help
you remove a card, as doing this can cause irreparable damage.

to remove the card.
CAUTION: Global Positioning System Antenna
Do not connect or disconnect the GPS antenna from the display unit whilst power is switched on. Doing this may result in irreparable damage.
CAUTION: UV Light
To provide protection against the damaging effects of UV light, it is advisable to replace the sun cover provided when the display is not in use.
CAUTION: Cleaning the display
Take care when cleaning the display, to avoid damaging it:
(1) Do NOT wipe the display screen with a dry cloth, as this could scratch
(2) Do NOT use acid, ammonia based or abrasive products.

Chapter 1: New Features of the C-Series Display Unit 1
Chapter 1: New Features of the C-Series
Display Unit
This document describes features which have been added to the C-Series display unit
since the C-Series Display Reference Manual (document number 81221-2) was
written. All the content of that manual is still valid, and the features it covers still
operate as described.
You can now listen to Sirius Audio satellite radio broadcasts, view tide and current
animations, and make use of improved weather information. There is also autopilot
integration and improved graphical display of data, including a compass bar.
This document tells you how to use the new functions and features.
For installation information, refer to the C-Series Display Installation Manual
(document number 87020-2).
1.1 Navionics support
In addition to Gold and Platinum, the C-Series now supports the following Navionics
cartography:
• Silver
• Gold Plus
•HotMaps USA
•HotMaps Premium
• Fish ‘N Chip
For more information on Navionics charts, see www.navionics.com.
1.2 Chart application
A new Animate function shows tide and current data in animated sequences. You can
control the way these sequences are played, including setting the date for the
animation. The Chart application also now provides range rings.
1.3 Graphical data
You can now set the display unit to show a compass bar along the top of the screen,
and configure it to display various engine data.
1.4 Autopilot control
If you have a Raymarine autopilot and pilot head installed, you can access some of its
functions from the C-Series display.
Page 12
2 C-Series Display New Features
Note:
The display unit does not replace the pilot head: never use autopilot functions with-
out a pilot head installed.
1.5 Weather (US only)
Note:
The following weather features require the SR50 Sirius Receiver and separate subscrip-
tion.
The weather application superimposes histo rical, live and forecasted weather gra phics
on a world map. It also provides textual forecasts and warnings. These graphics and
their associated weather data enable you to determine the actual conditions in your
vicinity or at a particular location. Weather forecasts and warnings, detailing current
and predicted conditions, are regularly updated.
1.6 Sirius Audio (US only)
Note:
The following audio features require the SR50 Sirius Receiver and separate subscription.
The C-Series can control a Sirius audio receiver, giving you access to satellite radio
channels. You can also make use of features including preset channels, channel scan,
favourite song alerts, and parental locking.
Page 13
Chapter 2: Chart Application Updates 3
Chapter 2: Chart Application Updates
Updates to the Chart application allow you to view tide and current animations for a
24-hour period, set the display unit to overlay range rings on the chart view, and show
bathymetric data included on Navionics combined data cards.
This chapter tells you how to make use of the new Chart application features.
WARNING:Electronic charts are an aid to navigation designed to
facilitate the use of authorized government charts, not to replace
them. Only official government charts and notices to mariners
contain the current information needed for safe navigation. The
captain of the vessel is responsible for their prudent use. The C-Series
and its charts do not exclude the user from carrying the required
official charts and documents.
2.1 Animated tides and currents
You can set the date for the animation and choose to see the whole animation from the

5.3 Setting up the weather application
Before you can use the weather application you need to:
• Obtain a Sirius ID number. (For full details, please refer to your Sirius Installation
handbook.)
• Check the pre-requisites for using the application (see below).
• Customize a page set to include a weather application.
• Specify the weather elements that you wish to display.
Page 28
18 C-Series Display New Features
Pre-requisites for using the weather application
For your C-Series to display weather data, the system must be connected to an SR50
Sirius Receiver which is supplying the appropriate data. For your vessel to be displayed
and for weather reports to be available at your position, you need a fix for your boat’s
position and be within US coastal waters.
Note:
For further information on installing and commissioning a weather receiver, refer to the
SR50 Weather Receiver Installation Guide.
Adding a weather application
A weather application window is not included in the pre-configured page sets. You
therefore need to customize a page set to include one. Refer to the C-Series Reference
Manual for details.
Specifying the weather elements displayed
You can view textual reports or animated graphics and specify the weather elements
that you require:
1. Open a weather application window.
2. Press the DISPLAY GRAPHICS softkey.
3. Select the weather elements to display:
Repeat until all options set as required
Highlight required option
