JUMP AND LOCK

All loran receivers have to lock onto the third cycle

of the signal trans-

miffed from the stations. The Z-9500

may

have trouble

finding the third

cycle if you operate the unit under high noise conditions, or at the

extreme limit of its range.

You can force the unit to jump to the proper cycle. You can do this

using

the

'Yump and Lock" menu selection. However, we caution

you

that it requires an intimate

understanding of loran signals and shouldn't

be used

carelessly. Basically, you have to know

precisely what the TD's

for

your

exact location should be. If the ID for each station you wish to

use is off by

ten or more micro-seconds, you can move it

using

the

jump

and lock menu. You move the TD by

ten micro-seconds each time

you

jump one cycle. For example, suppose

the Z-9500

displays a TD of

45349.33 micro-seconds for station X. If the correct value for that

station at your

location is 45359.33, then the

displayed

TD is ten micro-

seconds or one

cycle

low. Using the

Jump

and Lock stations menu, you

jump the station by +1 cycle. This causes the Z-9500 to display the

correct value of 45359.33. The unit will now track the station

using

this

cycle

correction.

The Z-9500 will stop using

the cycle

data

you used in the

jump

and lock

menu if you do a new GRI or initial position

initialization, a preset, or

when

you

turn the unit off.

To change the cycle, first press the MENU key, then press the key

adjacent to the "Change Setup" label. Press the key adjacent to the

"More" label until the

"Jump

& Lock Sta." label

appears. Press the

key

next to that label. The screen shown at the top of the next page

appears.

Press the

key next to the "Set." to move the box to the station letter that

you wish to change. For example, to jump

the cycle

on station

Z, press

the key adjacent to the "Sel." label until the box surrounds letter "Z".

Now

press the key

next to the

up arrow in the

"Jump"

menu to increase

the cycle,

or the down arrow to decrease it. As you press

the

key, the

number in the station's label will reflect the change. When the cycle

change is at the desired setting,

move the box to the next station's letter

that you wish to change. After making the changes, press the key

LIGHT

The

keyboard

for

night

use. Turn the

lights

on and off from the

Light

menu.

To turn the

lights on or

off, press the MENU

key. Next, press

the

key

adjacent

to the "Light"

label. This

displays

the light menus. Press the

key adjacent to the "ON" label to turn the lights on. Press the key

adjacent

to the "OFF" label to turn the lights off. Press the CLEAR key

to erase the menu.

The light menu also appears each time the Z-9500 is turned on. The

lights and the menu will turn themselves off after a few seconds unless

the key adjacent to the ON key

pressed. This makes it easier to turn

the lights on at night

when the Z-9500 is first turned on.
