Important Notice
Manual
Handling
The Global Positioning System (GPS) consists of a total 24 GPS satellites that orbit the earth,
enabling you to determine your position anywhere in the world, 24 hours a day, if you can
receive satellite signals. During actual navigation, carefully compare the position data with all
available navigation sources such as Loran C, Decca, other navigators, charts, visual navigation,
depth, water temperature and others. It is your responsibility to make navigation judgments.
Keep this manual in a safe place where you can access it quickly.
This Manual must be passed to a new owner of the GPS-95CP(i) when it
is transferred.
DGPS Operation Note:
Your position can be improved by DGPS correction. However, when you are communicating with
other ships, you may use a DGPS corrected position but they may not. Make your position
source known during communication.
The Electronic Chart:
Only official authorized charts and notices to mariners contain all the information needed for the
safety of navigation and, as always remember, the user is responsible for their prudent use.
Pictorials
This manual uses the following symbols for easy understanding safety instructions. Always
follow these instructions carefully.
WARNING
Always follow this safety instruction to prevent death or injury.
CAUTION
Follow this safety instruction to avoid possible injury or damage to
your property.
This symbol is a CAUTION or WARNING label indicating the safety
instruction.
WARNING
This symbol is an Electrical Shock WARNING label.
This symbol is an instruction that you must not violate.
(This symbol instructs NOT to disassemble the system components)
This symbol is an operation instruction that you must follow.
(This symbol shows the main power OFF instruction.)
WARNING <For System Operators>

If smoke or a smell of burning occurs, a fire or an
electrical short circuit may result. Turn the power switch
OFF and shut down the power supply immediately.
Never try to repair the system yourself. Call for service.
High voltage exists in the instrument. Contact with
voltage may cause possible injury or death.
Harmful line voltage is present on back side of the
equipment. Never try to touch back side while power is
turned on.
The LCD display module contains a liquid. Do not apply
any mechanical shock to the display. If the display
broken, liquid may leak and injure your skin and eyes.

Check that power is
OFF
Mount your GPS-95CP(i) on a rigid frame or base to prevent your unit
from working loose.
Use the installation materials provided in the standard accessory pack
only. If you use hardware of insufficient strength, your system may
loosen causing damage.
Keep your system out of direct sunlight as it may become damaged by
overheating.
Take care not to get water on or in your unit as it may be damaged
and/or cause an electrical shock.
Keep your system away from other heat source as it may malfunction, be
damaged, or burn.
Operate your system within the specified power voltage. An incorrect
power supply may cause damage.
High voltage may be retained in the capacitors in the high-tension
circuit several minutes after you have turned the power switch off.
To prevent an electrical injury due to erroneous power switching,
make sure that the main power supply and the system power switch
are both in the off position. Additionally, attach a safety label
showing that service is in progress.
Avoid EMI.
Avoid dust.
Take care not to damage the ESDs (Electrostatic Sensitive Devices)
by static electricity from carpet and cloths.
Wear a safety mask so as not to breath in dust during inspection or
cleaning inside your system instruments.

Operation Notes <For operators>
Observe the following operation notes, otherwise the system failure or deterioration can result.
And periodical inspection and maintenance are required for keeping the system in an optimum
condition.
Backup important
data.
WARNING

GPS-95CP(i) Color LCD Charting System
Welcome
The GPS-95CP(i) Color LCD Charting System opens a new chapter of performance and
integration in vessel navigation system display and management. Whether you are a Cruiser or
Sport fisherman or both, GPS-95CP gives you the information you need.
CAUTION
The GPS-95CP(i) is a Color LCD Charting Systems that employs the latest in proven technology
to provide accurate navigation information. The Plotter functions of the GPS-95CP are totally
dependent upon the capability of the navigation source to provide accurate position information.
This device is only an aid to navigation. It should be used in conjunction with all other navigation
accuracy. For safety, always resolve any uncertainty before continuing navigation.
CAUTION
Electronic charts are derived from geographical data – including official government charts –
which we believe to be accurate. They are neither verified nor approved by Hydrographic
Authorities. Electronic charts in GPS-95CP(i) are designed only to ease and speed navigation
calculations and so must not be relied upon as a primary 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 chart.
CAUTION
The performance of LCD displays are degraded by continuous direct exposure to ultraviolet rays.
Locate your GPS-95CP(i) Display away from direct sunlight. When not in use, keep the display
covered.
DISPLAY BREAKAGE WARNING
The LCD display module contains a liquid. If the display is broken and the liquid contacts your
skin, wash it off immediately in running water for 15 minutes. If the liquid contacts your eyes,
immediately flush your eyes with running water for 15 minutes. Contact a physician if any
abnormal symptom is experienced.

GPS-95CP(i) Color LCD Charting System
Introduction
The GPS-95CP(i) Color LCD Charting System is a premium multifunction command and control
center. It combines in one unit, display of worldwide cartography, and GPS navigation. GPS95CP(i) front panel keyboard and its large screen with wide viewing area make placement easy.
Although GPS-95CP(i) offers many advanced features, operation is simplified through the use of
popup menus similar to those found on personal computers. Also, the front panel keyboard has
specific keys for direct access to the most used functions and settings.

GPS-95CP(i) Color LCD Charting System
GETTING STARTED
This getting Started section will help you become acquainted with the displays and the front
panel keyboard functions of your GPS-95CP Color LCD Charting System. This section is
intended to demonstrate the main functions and basic operation of your GPS-95CP System.
More detailed procedures may be found in the Operation section.
GPS-95CP(i) has built-in simulators that present realistic displays of cartography and GPS.
Note: Simulators are interactive so the front panel keyboard can be used to browse through
menus and change setting in the same manner as actual operation. The internal simulators allow
GPS-95CP(i) to operate without having antennas or remote sensors connected. However, it is
necessary to connect the power cable to 12 to 36 Vdc power source. Please refer to
Connection
in the installation section.
If GPS-95CP is already installed on your vessel, simulators are still useful for
familiarity with displays and practice with operating procedures.
