4.The current manual variation value, if no SeaTalk or NMEA value and no position data is available.

Manual Mode

If MANUAL mode is selected, by pressing either of the MANUAL soft keys, the local variation value can be specified according to the area in which you are operating. Press the appropriate MANUAL soft key to adjust the variation up or down, to a maximum of 30° East or West.

This value is then transmitted to any other SeaTalk instruments on your system. It is retained if you turn the display off and on again.

In Manual mode, incoming NMEA variation is ignored. However, if the variation is changed on another SeaTalk instrument, the new value is used and the manual value that is displayed is updated.

Note: The Manual variation value defaults to 0°, so it is important to set up a value if variation is not available from an external source.

NMEA OUT Set Up

Each NMEA sentence can be set to either OFF or ON individually. The factory default is ON for each sentence.

Cursor Echo

You can set up your system so that radars, plotters and chartplotters connected via SeaTalk can display each other’s cursors.

Press the CURSOR ECHO soft key to display the cursor transfer soft keys. The following options can be toggled ON or OFF:

Radar Cursor In: displays the cursor from another radar on the plot- ter display or chart window (default - OFF).

Chart Cursor In: displays the cursor from another plotter or chart- plotter (default - OFF).

SeaTalk Cursor Out: enables the output, onto SeaTalk, of the dis- play’s own cursor (default - OFF).

Note: The remote display must have SeaTalk Cursor Out enabled.

If you set the options to OFF, no cursor echo information is displayed.

Date and Time Settings

Set your preferred date format (DD/MM/YY or MM/DD/YY) and time format (12 or 24 hour). If you wish to display local time, use the soft keys to change from UTC to the required time offset. This can be up to ±13 hours, in hourly steps.
