FOREWORD
Congratulations on your choice of the FURUNO ECDIS (Electronic Chart Display and Information
System) FMD-3100. We are confident you will see why the FURUNO name has become synony-
mous with quality and reliability.
Since 1948, FURUNO Electric Company has enjoyed an enviable reputation for innovative and
dependable marine electronics equipment. This dedication to excellence is furthered by our ex-
tensive global network of agents and dealers.
This equipment is designed and constructed to meet the rigorous demands of the marine environ-
ment. However, no machine can perform its intended function unless installed, operated and
maintained properly. Please carefully read and follow the recommended procedures for operation
and maintenance.
Features
The FMD-3100 is the product of FURUNO’s extensive experience in computer technology and
marine electronics. The ECDIS displays electronic charts, nav lines, TT targets, AIS targets and
other navigation data on a high-resolution 24-inch display.
The main features of this ECDIS are

Software version and chart compliance
Virus Prevention
The ECDIS is not equipped with a virus checker. The ECDIS operates in real time; therefore, hav-
ing a virus checker that periodically checks the equipment for viruses would increase the process-
ing load, which can affect operation. However, you can avoid viruses by following the instructions
in this section.
When you update a chart
The PC and medium (USB flash memory, etc.) used to download and hold an update for an ex-
isting chart or a new chart may be infected with a virus. Check the PC and the medium for viruses
with a commercial virus checker - BEFORE you connect them to the ECDIS. Be sure the virus
checker contains the latest virus definition files.
Network connection
The ECDIS receives and displays information from various navigation equipment and radar via a
LAN. A PC and other equipment connected to a network can carry viruses. To prevent the intro-
duction of a virus to the LAN, DO NOT connect the ECDIS or HUB to an external network, includ-
ing other shipboard LAN.
Do not install 3rd party programs in the ECDIS
Do not install any 3rd party software.

1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 System Configuration
The FMD-3100 mainly consists of the Panel Computer Unit (hereafter referred to as
PCU) and Trackball Control Unit. The PCU is connected to various navigation sen-
sors, and performs electronic chart operations, navigation calculations, route planning
and route monitoring. The Trackball Control Unit selects items stored in the PCU and,
subsequently, performs actions on those items. The optional Sensor Adapters inter-
face between the PCU and external equipment to input and output information be-
tween the PCU and external equipment.
1.2 Panel Computer Unit
The 24” PCU is the heart of the ECDIS system, and is mainly responsible for chart
management, route planning and route navigation.
Front panel

1 Speaker Outputs the audio alarm.
2 Equipment Status
Indicator
"HDD" flashes in red when reading from or writing to the storage de-
vice. "SERVICE" illuminates in red when the unit requires service.
(Have a FURUNO service engineer check the set.)
3 Brilliance Control Adjusts the display brilliance. See section 1.7.
4 Brilliance Status Indicates if the brilliance is within or outside of the ECDIS standard.
See section 1.7.
5 Power Switch Turns the power on or off. See section 1.5.
Note 1: To keep the system stable, restart the PCU at least once every two weeks.
Note 2: If the ambient temperature is less than 0°C(32°F) at start-up, the message "Low temperature
detected, system preheat ......" appears, indicating the PCU is being warmed. The warming time var-
ies with the ambient temperature, however the time is approx. 30 minutes. At the completion of the
warming, the ECDIS display appears. No operation is possible until the warming is completed.
Note 3: Connect the USB DVD drive to the PCU only to do a chart, software update. After completion
of an update, remove the medium from the drive, disconnect the drive from the PCU and store the
medium in its case.
Note 4: The DVD ROM provided with this equipment contains the ECDIS program. Store the DVD
in a place where the temperature and humidity are moderate. The recommended storage tempera-
ture is -10°C(50°F) to 40°C(104°F).

USB ports, which carry USB 2.0 connectivity, are for connection of the Trackball Con-
trol Unit, USB DVD drive, designated keyboard and printer, mouse and USB flash
memory. Do not connect other equipment to the USB ports.
A USB flash memory must be formatted to FAT32 to use it in the system.

1.3 Trackball Control Unit
The Trackball Control Unit consists of a trackball, scrollwheel and left and right mouse
buttons. You operate the unit just like a PC mouse; roll the trackball and operate the
left and right buttons and the scrollwheel to do various functions.
1.4 DVD Drive
A USB DVD drive is provided to upload chart data to the system. Use the supplied ca-
ble to connect the drive - connect the end of the cable with the USB symbol to a USB
port on the PCU. If the power from the USB port is insufficient, the power lamp on the
drive flashes red. If this occurs, also connect the other end of the cable (labeled
“POWER”) to the PCU to draw additional power.
The operating temperature range is 5°C(41°F) to 35°C(95°F).
1.5 How to Turn the Power On or Off
The power switch on the PCU illuminates in red when
the power is connected and the PCU is turned off. To
turn the power on, push the power switch until the lamp
in the switch illuminates in green.
To turn the power off, press and hold down the power
switch until the power goes off (approx. four seconds).

1.6 How to Select a Color Palette
The system provides six sets of preset color and brilliance combinations to match any
ambient lighting condition. The specifications of each set are as shown in the table be-
low.
* Nominal brilliance values. Actual value may vary.
To select a palette, do the following:
1. Click the [Palette] button on the InstantAccess bar.
2. Select [Day], [Dusk] or [Night] as appropriate. For example, select [Day] to show
its options.
3. Click the palette desired.
Note 1: A palette can also be selected by pushing the BRILL control on the Control
Unit.
Note 2: If the display cannot be seen when switching from a Night to Day palette, push
and hold the right button (approx. 2 seconds) to switch to the dusk-gray mode.
Note 3: The color palette setting may not get synchronized among ECDIS units se-
lected for synchronization if a unit is being booted during the selection of the color pal-
ette. If this occurs, wait until all ECDIS units selected for synchronization have booted
then reselect required color palette.
