Safety instructions
This device's electronic chart system (ECS) is developed for the
navigational aid onlyF 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.

1-1 General Information
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.
• NAVTEX
• VIDEO
• AIS RECEIVER
• DSC VHF RADIO
• Transducer & sensors
• Autopilot
