5.Confirm that NavArea is chosen, and then press the ENT key to show the area No. window.

6.Press ▲ or ▼ to choose a Nav area No. (1 to 16, and EXT), and then press the ENT key.

For NAV area No., see paragraph 1.4. EXT is reserved for future use.

7.Confirm that Station is chosen, and then press ENT key.

8.Enter a station name (Max. 18 characters), and then press the ENT key.

a)Press ▲ or ▼ to choose a character. Each press of ▲ shows A -> … -> Z -> a -> … -> z -> 0 -> … -> 9 -> _ -> - -> space in that sequence.

b)Press ► to move the cursor to next digit.

c)Repeat steps a) and b) to complete the station name.

9.Confirm that Latitude is chosen, and then press the ENT key.

10.Enter the latitude for station, and then press the ENT key. Use ▲ or ▼ to switch to North and South.

11.Confirm that Longitude is chosen, and then press the ENT key.

12.Enter the longitude for station, and then pres the ENT key. Use ▲ or ▼ to switch to East and West.

13.Choose 518kHz, 490kHz or 4209.5kHz, and then press the ENT key.

14.Enter the station ID (A to Z), and then press the ENT key. For multiple stations, fill in ID2 and ID3.

15.Confirm that Range is chosen, and then press the ENT key.

16.Enter the service area (1 to 999 nm), and then press the ENT key.

17.Confirm that Save data? is chosen, and then press the ENT key. The message “Save new station?” appears.

18.Press ◄ to choose “Yes”, and then press ENT key to close the new addition window disappears.

Note: If the station ID was not entered at step 14, the message “Enter ID

data.” appears. Press any key, and then enter the station ID.

19.To enter another NAVTEX station, repeat steps 4 through 18.

20.Press the MENU/ESC key several times to close the menu.

NX-700A specifications

The Furuno NX-700A is an advanced navigation system designed specifically for professional mariners and commercial vessels. Known for its robust performance and precision, it integrates state-of-the-art technology to enhance safety and efficiency at sea. One of the most notable features of the NX-700A is its dual-channel frequency system, which allows for improved target detection and tracking capabilities. This dual-channel operation ensures that the system can differentiate between multiple targets, reducing the risk of collisions and enhancing situational awareness.

Another significant aspect of the NX-700A is its high-resolution display. The system is equipped with a large LCD screen that provides clear and detailed graphical representations of surrounding waters, including navigational aids and potential hazards. The intuitive interface allows for easy operation even in challenging conditions, ensuring that crews can concentrate on their primary task: safe navigation.

Further enhancing the usability of the NX-700A is its advanced GPS functionality. The system employs multi-GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) technology, enabling it to obtain accurate position fixes from various satellite constellations, including GPS, GLONASS, and BeiDou. This capability ensures that mariners receive reliable positioning data regardless of their location, which is crucial during navigation in remote areas.

The NX-700A also features robust connectivity options, including NMEA 2000 and NMEA 0183 support. This allows the system to interface seamlessly with other onboard equipment, such as autopilots, engine monitoring systems, and electronic chart plotters. Such integration enhances operational efficiency and aids in maintaining a central command point for navigation.

Marine safety is further bolstered with the NX-700A's built-in man-overboard function, which provides rapid and precise positioning information in emergency situations. The system can also store critical navigational data, which can be accessed quickly during emergencies, contributing to enhanced safety protocols on board.

In summary, the Furuno NX-700A is a sophisticated navigation solution that combines high-resolution displays, advanced GPS technology, dual-channel frequency systems, and robust connectivity. Whether used in fishing vessels, cargo ships, or pleasure yachts, the NX-700A stands out as a reliable tool for enhancing maritime safety and navigation efficiency. With its user-friendly interface and essential features, it embodies the modern requirements of marine navigation technology.
