About the manual
This manual covers the Sailor MF/HF CU5100 in the Pharos GMDSS simulator.
The simulation of this instrument is kept as close to the manual and the real instrument as
possible. Therefore most of the information found in this manual can also be read in the
original Sailor manual, which this manual is based on.
Some features of the original instrument are not implemented in the simulator. Either
because it is not relevant in the simulator or that the feature is coming in a later version. In
the manual these features are noted as not supported. See contents for simulated menus
overview, to find which menus that have not been implemented in the simulator.
