42.11Radar shows false echoes and/or background noise

False echoes and/or background noise can be produced if the radar sensitivity is too high.

Try using the Auto setting for the radar gain mode; (see "Change the radar gain mode" page 131).

If this doesn't work, or if the radar gain mode is already set to Auto, use the radar gain setting to reduce the radar sensitivity, (see "Change the radar gain setting" page 132).

42.12Charts won't display

If the 8000i master unit is turned Off, no other display units can access the chart collections.

Check that the master unit is turned On. If so, check that your chart collection licenses have not expired.

42.13Waypoints and/or Routes aren’t shown on all the display units.

Usually, the active waypoints and routes are shown on the Chart screens of all the display units. If they’re not, just select Waypoints Routes and Tracks to

refresh the Chart screens.

42.143D Chart won't display photo overlays

Check that the Photo Overlay button in the 3D Chart screen control panel is toggled On.

If the Photo Overlay is On, but the photo overlays are not shown, try zooming in closer to the land.

42.153D Chart photo overlays switch off

Overlaying the satellite photos or aerial photos can slow the response time of the 3D Chart, particularly if you are viewing a large land area from a low angle.

Therefore, when you pan the 3D Chart screen, or change the azimuth or camera

angle, the photo overlays are switched off automatically to improve the response time of the display. Just select the Photo Overlay button again to re-display

the photo overlays.

You can avoid having the photo overlays switch off automatically by displaying the Chart screen and the 3D Chart screen and then synchronizing them.
