Warning!
Electronic charts displayed by the chartplotter are believed to be accurate and reliable, but they are
not intended to replace official charts which should remain your main reference for all the matters
related to the execution of a safe navigation.
For this reason we would like to remind you that you are required to carry on board and use the
officially published and approved nautical charts.
Caution
Please read through this manual before the first operation. If you have any questions, please contact
the Company's customer service or your local dealer.
The chartplotter is not built water proof. Please give attention to avoid water intrusion into the
chartplotter. Water damage is not covered by the warranty. Extensive exposure to heat may result in
damage to the chartplotter.
Connection to the power source with reversed polarity will damage the chartplotter severely. This
damage is not covered by the warranty.
The chartplotter contains dangerous high voltage circuits which only experienced technicians MUST
handle.
The C-MAP C-CARD are available from your local dealer.
We will not be liable for errors contained herein, or for incidental or consequential damages in
connection with the performance or use of this material.

Introduction
If you have not used a position-finding instrument before and intend to use your
chartplotter for navigating, we suggest that you read this user manual and make sure you
are familiar with its contents. Chapter 2 "Before You Begin" introduces you to the basic
information to get you start using the chartplotter. Chapter 3 "For the New User"
should be read first to become familiar with your new instrument. Chapter 4 "For the
Experienced User" introduces the advanced features of the chartplotter. For all other
information you wish please refer to the Chapter 5 "Terms and Functions".
Throughout this user manual, the keys are shown in capitals letters enclosed
between single inverted commas, for example 'MENU'.
Menu operations are in bold characters listed by keys sequence with the menu
names enclosed between inverted commas, for example 'MENU' + "BASIC SET-
TINGS" + 'ENTER' + "INPUT/OUTPUT" + 'ENTER' means: press the 'MENU'
key, using the cursor key to select the Basic Settings menu, press the 'ENTER' key,
using the cursor key to select the Input/Output menu and then press the 'ENTER' key.
Terms and functions underlined, for example Target, are explained in the
Chapter 5.
1.1 FEATURES
The chartplotter is a computer specifically designed for nautical use but, more
precisely, to ease and speed up all calculations, which so far have been done manu-
ally. If connected to a positioning instrument, the chartplotter displays the current
position, the speed, and the heading of the boat and its track. The user information
like Waypoints, Marks and tracks can then be stored on a User C-CARD, and can be
recalled at any time. On the screen are shown navigation data and cartographic in-
formation obtained from electronic charts of C-MAP C-CARD.
10 User Manual
1.2 BASICS
The chartplotter is controlled by using 11 keys. There is also a cursor key to
move a cursor across the screen. As you press a key, a single audio beep confirms the
key action; every time the key pressed is not valid, three rapid beeps sound indicates
that no response is available.

1.3 IF YOU NEED ASSISTANCE
If your chartplotter does not operate properly, go to the System Test on Par.
6.5. Most common operating difficulties can be diagnosed using these tests. If you
still need assistance, call your local dealer, reporting the Software Release and Car-
tography information available in the About Page.
Select About Page: 'MENU' + "About..." + 'ENTER'
1.3.1 WORLD BACKGROUND CHARTS
The internal background charts can be updated to include the MAX A and
B level charts which provide improved marine data, rivers, lakes, terrestrial data
(major streets , highways , railways, etc...), Nav-Aids, depth areas, territorial water
areas, etc... by reading them from a special data C-CARDs (contact your local dealer).
All units must have the WorldWide Background upload function that is activated
from the system.
