Chapter 2: Getting Started

2.1 Introduction

This chapter provides information, instructions and a simple familiarization exercise in using the display. Operating information is detailed in Chapter 3.

Conventions Used

Throughout this handbook, the dedicated (labelled) keys are shown in bold capitals; for example, ENTER. The soft key functions, menu names and options are shown in normal capitals; for example, SCREEN.

Operating procedures, which may consist of a single key-press or a sequence of numbered steps, are indicated by a symbol in the margin.

Simulator

The plotter display unit includes a Simulator mode, which allows you to practice operating your plotter without data from a GPS antenna. You will need to use the set up options to switch the display unit to Simulator mode, see Section 2.2, Power On/Off. You can use it in either of two ways:

Before the plotter has been installed on your vessel. In this case, you only need to connect the plotter display unit to a 12V DC power sup- ply, fused at 1A, connecting the red core from the power lead to posi- tive (+) and the black core to negative (-); see Cable Running on page 5-11for full details.

After the plotter has been installed on your vessel, but while in the marina or at anchor.

2.2Power On/Off

To turn the display unit on, press the POWER key.

The keys light up and the introductory logo is displayed.

The GPS Status screen is displayed as shown in Figure 2-1.
