Chapter 2: Getting Started & Adjusting the Display

2.1 Introduction

This chapter provides information and instructions to get you started using the hsb2 series LCD display. It will help you to become familiar with the display and the functions of the controls before you start using the unit. More detailed information on operating the radar display is provided in Chapter 3 and Chapter 4. Chartplotter operating details are given in Chapter 5 and Chapter 6.

Conventions Used

Throughout this handbook, the dedicated (labelled) keys are shown in bold capitals; for example, MENU. 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.

When the procedure requires you to press a soft key, the soft key icon is shown in the margin.

Simulator

The display unit includes a simulator function, that allows you to practice operating your radar or Chartplotter without data from the scanner or GPS system. You will need to use the set up options to switch the display to simulator mode, as described in Section 2.2. You can use it in either of two ways:

•Before the display unit has been installed on your vessel. In this case, you only need to connect the display to a 12V or 24V DC power supply, con- necting the red core from the power lead to positive (+) and the black core to negative (-). See Chapter 8 for full details.

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

The following section, Section 2.2, includes instructions to view simulated radar and chart images.
