Warning!!!
Electronic charts displayed by the chartplotter are believed to be accurate and reliable, but
they are not intended to substitute for the official charts which should remain your main
reference for all the matters related to the execution of a safe navigation.
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
nPlease read through this manual before the first operation. If you have any questions,
please contact the Company customer service or your local dealer.
nThe chartplotter is not built water proof. Please give attention to avoid water intrusion
into the chartplotter. Water damage is not covered by the warranty.
nExtensive exposure to heat may result in damage to the chartplotter.
nConnection to the power source with reversed polarity will damage the chartplotter
severely. This damage may not be covered by the warranty.
nThe chartplotter contains dangerous high voltage circuits which only experienced tech-
nicians can handle.
nThe C-MAP NT+C-CARD are available from your local dealer.
nWe will not be liable for errors contained herein, or for incidental or consequential

Introduction
If you have not used a position-finding instrument before and intend to use
your chartplotter for navigating, we suggest that you read this user manual and make sure
you are familiar with its contents.
Chapter "Before You Begin" introduces you to the basic information to get you
start using the chartplotter. Chapter "For the New User" should be read first to become
familiar with your new instrument. Chapter "For the Experienced User" introduces the
advanced features of the chartplotter.
Throughout this user manual, the labelled keys are shown in capitals letters en-
closed between single inverted commas, for example 'MENU'; the software keys are shown
in small capitals letters enclosed between single inverted commas, for example 'E DIT '.
Menu operations are in bold characters listed by keys sequence with the menu names
enclosed between inverted commas, for example 'MENU' + "ADVANCED" + 'EN-
TER' + "Fix & Compass" + 'ENTER' means: press the 'MENU' key, moving the
cursor selects the ADVANCED menu, press the 'ENTER' key, moving the cursor again
selects the Fix and Compass menu and then press 'ENTER'. Terms and functions under-
lined, for example Target, are explained in the chapter 5.
1.1 FEATURES
The chartplotter is a computer specifically designed for nautical use but, more
precisely, to ease and speed up all calculations, which so far have been done manually. If
connected to a positioning instrument, the chartplotter displays the current position, the
speed, and the heading of the boat and its track. The user information like Waypoints,
Marks and tracks can then be stored on a User C-CARD, and can be recalled at any time. On
the screen are shown navigation data and cartographic information obtained from elec-
tronic charts of C-MAP NT+C-CARD.

12 User Manual
1.2 BASICS
The chartplotter is controlled by using 11 keys. 7 keys are labelled and are dedicated
to specific functions. The other 4 are software keys (hereinafter named soft keys) and have
different functions when you select different modes of operation: their labels for the
current functions are shown on the screen immediately above the keys. There is also a
Joystick (see Fig. 1.2) to move a cursor across the screen. As you press a key, a single audio
beep confirms the key action; every time the key pressed is not valid, three rapid beeps
sound indicates that no response is available.
Fig. 1.2 - The controller
1.3 IF YOU NEEDASSISTANCE
If your chartplotter does not operate properly, go to the System Test on Par. 6.6.
Most common operating difficulties can be diagnosed using these tests. If you still need
assistance, call your local dealer, reporting the Software Release and Cartography informa-
tion available in the About page.
Select About Page: 'MENU' + "ADVANCED" + 'ENTER' + "About..." + 'ENTER'

2.6 ADDITIONALC-CARDS
The chartplotter uses two types of C-MAP cartridges: either a chart cartridge or a
data storage cartridge. A chart cartridge, called C-CARD, contains detailed charts of the area
covered. A data storage cartridge, called User C-CARD can be used to permanently store
your routes, Waypoints, Marks, Events and tracks (see Par. 4.6).
2.6.1 INSERTINGC-CARD
Hold the C-CARD by the short inclined side so that you can see the C-MAP label
(see Fig. 2.6.1):
