About this User Manual
INTRODUCTION
The chart plotter is a state-of-the-art computerized electronic chart system, de-
signed as a sophisticated navigation aid. User friendly operations make the chart
plotter easy to operate. All calculations and information necessary for the naviga-
tion are performed and displayed on the screen quickly and accurately providing
all of the facilities of a conventional GPS but with the added benefit of a powerful
electronic chart display. The cartographic information is obtained from C-MAP BY
JEPPESEN DATA MEDIA that are available through your local dealer.
For additional information on C-MAP BYJEPPESEN Cartography visit web site at
www.jeppesen.com.

Important Information
WARNING
Electronic charts displayed by the chart plotter are believed to be accurate and
reliable, but they are not intended to replace official charts which should remain
your main reference for all the matters related to the execution of a safe naviga-
tion. For this reason we would like to remind you that you are required to carry on
board and use the officially published and approved nautical charts.
CAUTION
♦Please read through this manual before the first operation. If you have any
questions, please contact the Company's customer service or your local
dealer.
♦The chart plotter is not built water proof. Please give attention to avoid
water intrusion into the chart plotter. Water damage is not covered by the
warranty.
♦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.
♦The chart plotter contains dangerous high voltage circuits which only expe-
rienced technicians MUST handle.
♦The C-MAP BYJEPPESEN DATA MEDIA are available from your local dealer.
♦Exposure of the display to UV rays may shorten the life of the liquid crystals
used in your plotter. This limitation is due to the current technology of the
LCD displays.
♦Avoid overheating which may cause loss of contrast and, in extreme cases,
a darkening of the screen. Problems which occur from overheating are re-
versible when temperature decreases.
WARNING ON SERIAL PORTS CONNECTION
Please be aware that the serial ports are not opto-isolated and then the
external device is electrically connected to the chart plotter. This allows the
connection of high speed devices, like Radar or Fish Finder. If you are
connecting a NMEA0183 device and you would like to isolate it from the chart
plotter, you have to add the opto-isolator externally.
CLEANING PROCEDURE FOR THE PLOTTER SCREEN
Cleaning your chart plotter screen is a very important operation and must be
done carefully, as the window's surface is covered with and antireflective coating.
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 the PC
screen, for example PolaClear by Polaroid). 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.
NOTE We will not be liable for errors contained herein, or for incidental or
consequential damages in connection with the performance or use of this
material.
