Important Notice
Manual Handling
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.
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.
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.

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
Power
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.
