Signal strength (SS),

Signal to noise ratio (SN)

Beacon information display

SS:SS (Signal Strength) displays a numeric representation of field strength of the received signal on the selected frequency. The higher the number the stronger the received signal. (should read at least 60.) If noise is present at reception band width, the figure gets bigger.

SN: SN (Signal-to-Noise) ratio displays the ratio between the desired signal and unwanted noise on the selected frequency. The higher the SN ratio the better the quality of the signal. (should read at least 21.)

Note: If your equipment does not have a DPGS receiver, the message “NO DIFFERENTIAL DATA” appears when the BEACON INFO soft key is pressed. Also when connecting with the external beacon receiver, this message appears.

How to read the compass display

The solid inverted triangle at the center of the compass shows own ship’s course. The hollow inverted triangle shows the bearing to destination waypoint. When own ship’s course is changed, the hollow inverted triangle moves with course change.

Note: Course means the direction which own ship moves to. It is different from own ship’s direction. Tidal current and wind may affect the course.
