Marcum Technologies RT-9 User manual

QUICK START GUIDE
Marcum has a long tradition of being on the forefront of technology. While
some fear change, we welcome it, as do our loyal customers and they
continually contact us in eager anticipation of the next big thing.
New features require new technology, and New Features + New
Technologies = a more complex interface. It’s true - there is a little more to
the RT-9 that just turning it on. And while operating this system is
somewhat more intricate than the basic models out there, don’t let that
stop you from taking advantage of the advanced features. Once you get a
feel for the “flow” of the menu you’ll wonder how you have gotten by
without it! The amazing touch screen allows for many more adjustments
and configurations than what is possible on other units, and all who have
used the RT-9 agree that the additional few minutes of learning the
features are well worth it for what the RT-9 has to oer.
The RT-9 features built-in GPS mapping with Sonar and Underwater
Camera Options. This quick start guide will get you started using your RT-9
right away, but be sure to check out the complete user manual.
Assembly
Remove the RT-9 tablet from the box, note where the ports are located on
the back. The RAM mount assembly must be screwed to the shuttle and
the cradle.
Battery
The RT-9 has an internal lithium battery that will power the tablet for about
2 hours. This battery is charged through the external 12 volt 9 amp battery
by the pogo pins on the cradle. It is important that you start out each day
with a fully charged external battery, and make sure that the tablet is
seated in the cradle properly (charging the external battery during
operation is not recommended).
Ports/Modules
On the back of the tablet there are 3 ports where the Sonar or Camera
Modules can be attached. You must have a Sonar or Camera Module in
order to have Sonar or Camera functions.

RT-9 QUICK START GUIDE

RT-9 QUICK START GUIDE
Power on
Press the power
button, when the Start
screen comes on,
slide the lock button
to open the Home
Screen.
RT-9 App
Once at the Home
Screen, press the
RT-9 App button to
open the RT-9. The
RT-9 will appear with
Panels 1 and 2 open.
Both panels will be
blank.
Panels
The RT-9 screen is
divided into panels,
and depending on
your preferences you
can have 1, 2 , or 3
panels open. The
panel number does
not correlate to a port
number—for example,
a module plugged into Port 1 may be displayed on Panel 1, 2,
or 3. It is possible to have the Sonar signal displayed on top
of the map or the camera feed.
Mapping/Navionics
The first time you use
the GPS, it may take
up to 10 minutes to
lock in a signal. As
soon as the RT-9 App
is opened, the
process of locking in
the satellites has
begun. You must be outdoors to locate the satellites. The
RT-9 comes with a basic map installed, but for maximum
performance it is suggested that mapping chip be installed.
The MarCum RT-9 is compatible with Navionics Map Chips
for more information on features and compatibility please.
SONAR
Arguably the most
important of all, the
Sonar on the RT-9 is
unmatched on the ice
or o. You must have a
sonar module in place,
and the ducer
connected to have
sonar functions. You can use any of the ports, but for
simplicity put it in the middle [#2] Port at first. With the Sonar
Module in Port 2, display it on panel 2 by first pressing the
“2” located at the bottom of the screen. Now a window will
open, select Sonar. Another window will open, and you may
now select which type of Sonar Display you want [Graph,
Vertical, etc.]. Choose one, and this will now be running on
Panel 2. To adjust the Sonar settings, press “Settings” in the
upper left corner, then select “Sonar”. You will now be able
to adjust all of the Sonar settings, like sensitivity, range,
interference rejection, etc.
Camera
The camera module is
sold separately, but
using one will
complete the RT-9
“Trifecta” - now you
can have GPS
mapping, sonar, and
camera all in one unit.
You can even display all three at once! Remember to have
whichever port you have the camera module plugged
open. To adjust the camera settings, first select “Settings” in
the upper right corner, and then select camera. You can
make recordings at any time by simply pressing the red
“Record” button in the upper right corner of the display.

Top compartment
This compartment is opened by sliding the latches inward. This is where SD cards for mapping or recording are inserted.
This is also where the ports for USB, Video Out, and headphones are located. The two small buttons are volume control.
When the compartment is closed, slide the latches outward to secure the latch.
