WARNINGWARNING
CAUTION
Do not use the equipment for other than
its intended purpose.
No one navigation device should ever be
solely replied upon for the navigation of
a vessel.
Always confirm position against all available
aids to navigation, for safety of vessel and
crew.
Do not turn on the equipment with the
transducer out of water.
The transducer may be damaged.
Use the proper gain setting.
Incorrect gain may produce wrong depth
indication, possibly result ing in a
dangerous situation. See "Adjusting the
gain" on page 10-11.
The picture is not refreshed when
picture advancement is stopped.
Maneuvering the vessel in this condition
may result in a dangerous situation.
A warning label is attached to the equip-
ment. Do not remove the label. If the

The GP-7000F provides a totally integrated GPS receiver, color video plotter and
color video sounder.
The GPS receiver tracks up to 13 satellites (GPS: 12, WAAS: 1) simultaneously,
and an 8-state Kalman filter ensures optimum accuracy in determination of vessel
position, course and speed.
• C-MAP NT + and MAX chart card (SD) is available.
• Comprehensive navigation data displays.
• Bright 7-inch color TFT LCD with brilliance control.
• Automatic coastline chart loading.
• Position display in latitude and longitude, Loran C TD.
• Alarms: Arrival, Anchor Watch, Cross-track Error, Speed, Grounding, Fish,
Depth, Temperature.
• Man overboard feature records latitude and longitude coordinates at the time of
man overboard.
• "Highway" display provides graphic presentation of ship's track and is useful for
monitoring cross track error.
• Automatic or manual video sounder operation.

1.2 Loading an SDTM Chart Card
Your unit reads C-MAP NT+/NT MAXTM charts, stored on SDTM cards. Insert the ap-
propriate chart card for your area before turning the power on to show chart data au-
tomatically.
Note 1: Static electricity can be passed through your fingers to a card and destroy the
contents of the card. To prevent this, always touch a metallic object, such as a steel
desk, before handling an SDTM card.
Note 2: Do not insert or remove a card while the power is on. This may cause the
equipment to freeze.
1. Push down the lid catch to open the card slot cover.

1.3 Turning the Power On/Off
Turning the power on
Press the [POWER/BRILL] key until you hear a click and a beep. When the unit is
turned on, it proceeds in the sequence shown in the figure below.
Start-up sequence
Note 1: The example screens shown in this manual may not match the screens you
see on your display. The screen you see depends on your system configuration and
equipment settings.
Note 2: If the message "SYSTEM HAS FAILED START UP TEST. PLEASE CON-
TACT A LOCAL FURUNO REPRESENTATIVE FOR REPAIR. PRESS ANY KEY TO
CONTINUE." appears, contact your dealer for advice.
Note 3: At the very first time you turn on your unit, the simulation mode window ap-
pears. Choose YES or NO as appropriate and push the [ENTER] knob.
The equipment takes 90 seconds to find its position when turned on for the very first
time. Thereafter it takes about 12 seconds to find position each time the power is
turned on. The message "NO FIX", which means the equipment is now finding its po-
sition, appears at the bottom of the plotter display immediately after turning the power
on. When the GPS receiver finds its position, "NO FIX" changes to "2D" or "3D" to
show that position data is now accurate.
Turning the power off
Press and hold the [POWER/BRILL] key until the screen goes blank (about four sec-
onds).
In about 30 seconds the
last-used display appears.
You can go to the last-used
display faster by pressing any
key when this screen appears.

C-MAP electronic charts (ECs) are derived from
geographical data -including official government
charts - which we believe to be accurate.They are
neither verified nor approved by Hydrographic
Authorities. C-MAP ECs are designed only to ease
and speed navigation calculations and so must not
be relied upon as aprimary 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 charts.
