User manual HUMMINBIRD NS 10

[. . . ] NS 10 Operations Manual HOW THE NS 10 WORKS There are two main components of the NS 10 navigational system: the receiver which mounts outside the cabin at a high, unobstructed point on your boat, and the NS 10 control head, which mounts on the console or at some other point convenient for use. The receiver and the NS 10 communicate by means of a coaxial cable, and are powered by your boat's 12 volt electrical system or battery. The receiver, when in clear view of the sky, receives transmissions from the constellation of GPS satellites which are continuously orbiting the earth. It selects four satellites whose position and signal strength will provide the most accurate position "fix", and locks onto them. [. . . ] To retrieve the MAIN MENU press SELECT.

Experimentation with these settings is the best way to find the option that suits you. The NS 10 allots sufficient memory to store 240 position points, so when selecting ALL, be aware that after recording two hours, the most distant points will begin to be replaced. The course history line is not displayed when the PICK, CURSOR, ROUTE, or DIST (distance) mode is turned on, but it is being recorded and will be displayed when the mode is turned off. [. . . ]
