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

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.
Fig. 1.2 - The controller
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.

Before You Begin
This chapter provides basic information to get you start using the chartplotter;
it will help you to become familiar with the chart display and the functions of the
controls before you start using the chartplotter.
2.1 THE KEYBOARD

vanced Mode places, deletes, edits and moves Mark and use it in a route.
The
PAGE
key
Press 'PAGE' to select the configuration you wish among cartography and
text area in two different modes (text area on the right side or on the bottom line of
the screen, full screen if Target has been inserted or with partial information on
SOG), only cartography, Depth Graph 1/2 screen and 1/3 screen pages, GPS Data
page, Navigation Data page, Graphic Data page, Wind Data page (See Par. 3.1).
The

onds when the MOB is placed to delete MOB.
The
DEST
key

mode. When Home (called also Navigate) mode is set, the cursor is not shown any-
more and all cartographic functions (zoom, scroll, etc.) are leaded by the fix position.
The fix is centered in the map display and the map scrolls underneath as the fix
position changes. To deactivate Home mode move the cursor. In Basic Mode deletes
the A, B, C, D points, the User Point (Mark, Event, Waypoint), the MOB, the
Target identified by the cursor.

2.5 ADDITIONAL C-CARDS
The chartplotter uses two types of C-MAP cartridges: either a chart cartridge
or a data storage cartridge. A chart cartridge, called C-CARD, contains detailed charts
of the area covered. A data storage cartridge, called User C-CARD can be used to
permanently store your routes, Waypoints, Marks, Events and tracks (see Par. 4.6).
Note
During normal operations the C-CARD should not be removed since the chart plotter may lock
up.
2.5.1 INSERTING C-CARD
Hold the C-CARD by the short inclined side so that you can see the C-MAP
label.
Fig. 2.5.1 - Inserting C-CARD (I)

20 User Manual
Gently push the C-CARD into one of the two slots (1); push the C-CARD
in as far as it will go, then move it to the bottom (2) to hold fixed into the slot (3).

1) Your chartplotter must have been installed properly according to the in-
stallation instruction on Par. 6.2.
2) You must have performed the proper settings for use with your position-
ing instrument (see Par. 2.5) and inserting the C-CARD for navigating in area you
wish (see Par. 2.6).
3) You must have Power On to the chartplotter and adjust the brightness
and contrast of the display (see Par. 2.2 and 2.3).
Once this is done, you can use your chartplotter for navigation.
