available] and chart cell numbers are displayed
in the [S57 LOAD] window. Then, place the

The chart CD-ROM contains all chart data, but
there are some areas which the base charts cell
(last three digits of chart number : 000) are not

chart cell numbers are displayed in the [S57
LOAD] window, place the cursor on the [OK]
button and press the [SELECT] key
This message means that the ECDIS does not
update older version charts contained in the

For example, if the lower three digits of the chart
numbers are 001 to 028, 001 - 015 are not
updated (not used) and 016 - 028 are updated.


The chart cell numbers to be updated are displayed
in the [Conversion list] on the [SENC CONVERT]
window. The chart is updated cell by cell from the
top of the list. After the conversion has been
completed, the chart numbers disappear from the
window. Further the color of a chart cell frame
changes to green when conversion of the cell is
completed. The conversion may take 4 - 5 hours,
depending on the quantity of chart numbers
installed. 
