*NOTE: FF520 FISH FINDER OPTION

When a FF520 is connected to the CP180 or CP180i, Port 2 of the NMEA in/out Communi- cation setup menu must be changed to FF520 as shown below for communications.

1.From the Chart page, press [MENU]. Move the ShuttlePoint knob to highlight SETUP MENU and press [ENT].

2.Move the ShuttlePoint knob to highlight ADVANCED SETUP and press [ENT]or move the ShuttlePoint knob to the right.

3.Move the ShuttlePoint knob to highlight IN/OUT CONNECTIONS and press [ENT]or move the ShuttlePoint knob to the right.

4.Move the ShuttlePoint knob to highlight PORT 2 INPUT and press [ENT]or move the ShuttlePoint knob to the right.

5.Move the ShuttlePoint knob up/down to select FF520 and press [ENT] or move the ShuttlePoint knob to the right.

6.Press [CLR] or move the ShuttlePoint knob to the left until the Chart page is shown.

**NOTE: AUTOPILOT CONNECTION

Care must be taken when connecting the chart plotter to an autopilot. Normally Port 3 (Yellow wire) will be used to connect to an Autopilot output, however older autopilots may not be able to read the sentences due to the talker ID that is being used (II Integrated Instrument). If the autopilot connections are made to Port 3 (Yellow wire) and the autopilot is not reading the sentences, change the connections to Port 1 (Brown) or 2 (White) and change the sentences to APA, APB, XTE, COG and BOD.
