Introduction
If you have not used a position-finding instrument before and intend to use
your chart plotter for navigating, we suggest that you read this user manual and
make sure you are familiar with its contents. Chapter 2 "Before You Begin" intro-
duces you to the basic information to get you start using the chart plotter. Chapter 3
"For the New User" should be read first to become familiar with your new instru-
ment. Chapter 4 "For the Experienced User" introduces the advanced features of the
chart plotter. 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 SETTINGS" + '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 chart plotter is a computer specifically designed for nautical use but,
more precisely, to ease and speed up all calculations, which so far have been done
manually. If connected to a positioning instrument, the chart plotter displays the
current position, the speed, and the heading of the boat and its track. The user infor-
mation 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 carto-
graphic information obtained from electronic charts of C-MAP C-CARD.

12 User Manual
1.2 BASICS
The chart plotter is controlled by using 14 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 chart plotter 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
Cartography information available in the About Page.
