Operational Overview | Furuno 1823C specification

1.OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW

This chapter provides the basic information needed to get you started using your radar, video plotter. The following topics are presented:

•Control overview

•Chart card insertion

•Power on/off

•Brilliance and hue adjustments

•Display selection

•MOB (Man OverBoard) mark entry

•Data boxes

•Function keys

•Simulation display

NOTICE

The brilliance of the LCD is adjustable to match a wide variety of lighting conditions. However, its maximum setting may not be sufficiently bright to permit viewing of the display with polarized sunglasses.

The high-resolution model may show afterglow after several hours of contin- uous use in the same mode. This is not a sign of malfunction.
