depth is displayed

at the

top of the screen. To the left of the water

depth is the plot radius menu. This menu displays the current plot

radius (The distance from the center to the outer edge of the circle.)

To change the

plotters radius, simply press

the

key adjacent to the

or down arrow in the "PLOT RADIUS" menu. The available radii are:

1/4, 1/2, 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200. and 500 miles. This lets you

"zoom" in on your present position, or zoom out to see your whole

course, from start to finish. Your present position

shows beneath the

plot radius menu.

If the diamond

representing your present position starts to move outside

the

circle, the

Z-9500

will first clear the display

for an instant. Then it

will redraw

your present position along with a portion

of your

track near

the center of

the screen. Your present position

will always

be on the

plotter at all times. You do not have to recall a waypoint to use the

plotter.

To clear the

plotter, see the Plotter Menus section.

Using the Plotter with a Waypoint

Using the plotter

with a recalled waypoint or route is an easy way

to see

the effects of wind and current on your boat. To use the

plotter in this

manner, simply recall a waypoint (see the Waypoint Recall section for

more information), then press

the PLOTTER key. A screen similar to

the one at the

top

of the next

page appears.

latitude/longitude. Since using

the Initial Position startup places

the Z-

9500 in the automatic mode, it will choose the best stations to use. Until

the

loran finds all of the

necessary stations in the chain and locks onto

them, it flashes the latitude/longitude. This means the data on the Z-

9500's screens are not usable. When the

position

numbers stop

flash-

ing, the loran is ready for use. For more information on the position

screen, see page
