How to Use This Handbook

This handbook describes the following hsb2 (PLUS) series displays and multi- display systems:

RL70C PLUS Pathfinder Radar, 7" Color LCD Display

RL70CRC PLUS Pathfinder Radar & Chartplotter, 7" Color LCD Display RC530 PLUS Chartplotter, 7" Color LCD Display

RL80C PLUS Pathfinder Radar, 10.4" Color LCD Display

RL80CRC PLUS Pathfinder Radar & Chartplotter, 10.4" Color LCD Dis- play

RC631 PLUS Chartplotter, 10.4" Color LCD Display

If you are installing the display system yourself, you should read Chapter 8 before you start the installation. This chapter also provides information that will be useful if you are connecting your hsb2 series system to other equipment.

For an overview of hsb2 (PLUS) display systems, the display unit controls and the radar/chartplotter systems, read Chapter 1. Chapter 2 will help you start using your system.

For detailed information on radar operations refer to Chapter 3:Standard Radar Operations and Chapter 4:Integrated Radar Operations.

For chartplotter operating details, refer to Chapter 5 and Chapter 6.

To change the system set up defaults, read Chapter 7.

Details for installing a radar scanner are provided in the Radar Scanner User’s Handbook supplied with your scanner.

Note: Many illustrations in this handbook show example screens. The screen you see on your display depends on your system configuration and set up op- tions, so it may differ from the illustration.

This handbook is organized as follows:

Chapter 1 provides an overview of an hsb2 multi-display system and the features and functions of the hsb2 PLUS series LCD Color Display. This chapter also provides an overview of the controls. You should read this chapter to familiarize yourself with the system.

Chapter 2 explains how to start using the display and describes how to use some of the basic radar and chart functions. Chapter 2 also provides operating guidelines for typical chartplotter scenarios; these guidelines introduce you to many of the chartplotter functions.
