SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This device’s electronic chat system(ECS) is developed for the
navigational aid only and chart itself does not obtain any approvals;
has not been certified from the government authorities. If operator
needs safe navigation then must use an official chart that has been approved by
government agencies also operator is fully responsible for using this device.
Please read through this manual before the first operation. If you have any
questions, please contact the customer service or your local dealer or distributor
Extensive exposure to heat may result in damage to the chart plotter.
Connection to the power source with reversed polarity will damage the chart
plotter severely. This damage is not covered by the warranty.
Do not disassemble. The chart plotter contains dangerous high voltage circuits
which only experienced technicians must handle
Exposure of the display to UV rays may shorten the life of the liquid crystals used
in you plotter. This limitation is due to the current technology of the LCD display.
Avoid overheating which may cause loss of contrast and, in extreme case, a
darkening of the screen. Problems which occur from over heating are reversible
when temperature decreases.
Screen Cleaning Precautions
Cleaning your chart plotter screen is a very important operation and must be done
carefully. The following is the cleaning procedure.
You use a tissue or lens tissue and a cleaning spray containing Isopropanol (a
normal spray cleaner sold for PC screens. Fold the tissue or lens tissue into a
triangular shape, moisten the tip and use the index finger behind a corner to
move the tissue across the surface, in overlapping side to side strokes. If the
tissue is too wet, a noticeable wet film will be left in its path and you will need to
repeat the process. If too dry, the tissue won’t glide easily, and may damage the
surface.
If you require technical advice or assistance, contact your nearest Samyung ENC
office or visit our website, www.samyungenc.com.

The chart plotter is a precision-crafted GPS
chart Plotter with high-performance receiver
for the Global Positioning System
constellation of satellites, providing precise
location data with a host of navigation
features. Some functions require optional
units and sensors installed on your boat.
The chart plotter can be connected to
external devices with NMEA0183 and
NMEA2000 interface and display information.
Following are the examples.

2-1 Mounting the Unit
The chart plotter is supplied with bracket and flush mounting kit. You can choose a method of
installation according to your preference.
2-1-1 Bracket Mounting
Before installing ensure the area the bracket is mounted to is strong enough to support the
weight of the GPS chart plotter. After the location is found, attach the mounting base to the
area using the supplied hardware.
Mounting the display Unit:
1 Hold the display unit and find a groove
joint between the display unit and bracket.
2 Gently push the display unit into the
groove of bracket and turn the knob to
clockwise to lock
Removing the display unit:
1 Turn the unit off
2 Turn the knob to counter clockwise
3 Pull the display unit out.
Note
The chart plotter with internal GPS antenna is
designed to be bracket mounting and flush mounting.
However, if you flush mount inside of your boat, GPS
performance can be reduced.
2-1-2 Flush Mounting
1 Find a location for flush mounting.
2 Drill a hole in the area of the cutout area
for the blade of jig saw.
3 insert and cut out the area on the panel
using the jig saw
4 Drill four holes for mounting studs.
5 Install the mounting studs on the chart
plotter and insert them into the mounting
hole.
6 Attach the chart plotter to the mounting
location by attaching the supplied
hardware to the mounting studs.
Note
1 If you flush mount, you need the optional external
GPS antenna.
2 Before Drilling holes make sure there is enough
space to mount the chart plotter there is no
obstructions.

2-3 NAVIONICS Secure Digital (SD) Card
This section provides instructions for inserting and removing NAVIONICS SD card procedure.
Inserting the SD Card
1 Hold the SD card so that you can
see the NAVIONICS label.
2 Open the door, gently push the SD card
into the slot; push the SD card in as far as
you hear click sound, then close door.
Removing the SD Card
1 Turn off the unit.
2 Open the door and push in on the SD card
until it is released.
3 Close the door.
Insert NAVIONICS SD card
correctly.
(DO NOT FORCE)
Close SD card door firmly all
the times.
Do not remove SD card
during reading and writing.
2-4 Chart Selection
A user can select a map between NAVIONICS
and S-MAP.
Chart Selection
1 Press and hold .
2 Select the system setting icon.
3 Select Chart then a chart you prefer.
S-MAP is a pre-
installed chart but
optional NAVIONICS
can be used. Please
contact your nearest
Samyung ENC office
for purchasing the
NAVIONICS
2-5 Simulate Mode
Simulate Mode is great for practicing the actual use of a product when the satellites signals
and internal alarms are not available. In the simulate mode, the unit turns the GPS receiver off
and ignores data from all optional devices.
Two simulate modes are available as below.
• Normal: Allows a user to practicing the
actual use of a product without satellites
connection.
• Demo: boat travel alone given route at
given speed and show different function of
the unit.
Do not try to navigate in a
simulate mode. While the
simulate mode is turned on,
the GPS receiver is not
active.

2-7 Compass
The chart plotter computes compass direction
from the constellation of GPS satellites. For
the GPS chart plotter to compute direction
the vessel must be moving through the
water.
For easy reading and recognition, there is a
compass needle at top right side.
When the compass is displayed, COG is
always displayed in data field.
Also when you are navigating to a point, COG
and BRG is always displayed in data bar.
Tip
COG(Course Over Ground) – The course you
vessel is heading.
BRG(Bearing) – The direction from your
current position to a destination point.
To turn the compass off or on:
1 Press and select Data bar.

2-9 Man overboard (MOB)
During navigation, the “MOB” feature
provides a one-touch method of storing a
location, such as point where a crew member
fell overboard. In this mode, the chart plotter
places a MOB point on the chart page and all
the navigation data shown is related to
navigating back to this point, allowing you to
retrace your path to the MOB point
efficiently.
MOB will not work if the
unit does not have a GPS
fix.
1 When you press , a MOB waypoint is
created.
2 When is pushed not in the Chart
window, the screen automatically is
changed to Chart window and MOB
waypoint is at the center of the chart.

The unit has dual frequency, 200kHz and
50kHz to detect various bottom conditions.
To select the sonar frequency in sonar
window:
1 Press , select Frequency.
2 Select frequency and press .
3 Press to exit.
High frequency (200kHz )
The higher ultrasonic signal, the better is the
resolution. For this reason the 200 kHz
frequency is ideal for detailed observation of
fish schools.
Low frequency (50kHz)
The lower frequency signal is, the wider is
the detection area. Therefore, the 50kHz
frequency is useful for general detection and
judging bottom condition.
Mixed frequencies (200kHz / 50kHz)
The Mixed frequency combines the 200 kHz
and the 50 kHz in the Sonar window. The
50kHz picture appears on the left and the
200kHz picture on the right.
The display is useful for comparing the same
picture with two different frequencies.
① High Frequency (200 kHz)
② Low Frequency (50 kHz)
3-5-4 Range
Range is the depth of water displayed on the
sonar window. The basic range may be
chosen in Auto or manual mode.
Auto: When the mode is set to Auto, the
unit adjusts the depth automatically for the
best performance. This option is
recommended for normal operation.
Manual: When the mode is set to Manual,
the unit only displays the depth of water at a
given range. That means the sea bottom
might not be displayed in the sonar window
or it might display half of display in white
because range is more important than sea
bottom depth. As shown in below images.
To set the manual mode in the sonar
