The C.D.I.

range is 1 nautical mile when the Z-9500 is turned

on for the

first time. To set it to a different distance, press

the key adjacent to the

"RANGE" label beneath the C.D.I. alarm menu. This switches the

C.D.l. alarm menu to the C.D.I. range menu. Press the

key next to the

up arrow to increase the C.D.I. range, the down arrow to decrease it.

The scale on the C.D.I. indicator at the

top of the screen also changes

each time you press the

key. The available C.D.I.

ranges are: 1, 2, 4,

and 10 nautical miles.

When the

Z-9500 is first turned on,

the C.D.I. alarm is off. To turn it on,

simply

press

the key adjacent to the up arrow in

the C.D.I. alarm menu.

To select stations, simply press

the keys adjacent

to the desired sta-

tions. In this

example, the keys adjacent to stations M, W, and X were

pressed. If

you started the loran using

the initial position, or if

the loran

is showing a latitude/longitude position, then it can recommend stations

to use. After selecting the desired stations, press the key adjacent

the "ENTER" label. This activates your selection and returns the Z-

9500 to a loran screen. If the stations you've chosen are locked with

good crossing angles, the unit should show a latitude/longitude position

after a short wait.
