[. . . ] Its accuracy can be affected by many factors, including equipment failure or defects, environmental conditions, and improper handling or use. It is the User's responsibility to exercise common prudence and navigational judgements. This unit should not be relied upon as a substitute for such prudence and judgement. Always keep a proper look-out. D8934_1 General Operation Using the controls Card No. [. . . ] Press RANGE (IN) to see a smaller area in more detail. How do I find where I am on the chart? If you cannot find your boat symbol : The screen automatically pans to your boat's position and re-activiates the motion mode (see Card 6) The boat symbol indicates your position. FIND SHIP CURSOR ?

WAYPOINT AT CURSOR WAYPOINT AT VESSEL WAYPOINT AT LAT/LON GO TO WAYPOINT OPTIONS REVIEW AND EDIT WAYPOINTS A waypoint is a position marked on a chart, radar or fishfinder screen to indicate a site (for fishing, diving etc), or as a position to go to. You can place a waypoint at the cursor position, your boat's position or at a specified position. Waypoints are represented in chart or radar applications as an 'X' (default) and by a vertical line labeled WPT in Fishfinder. The details of each waypoint are stored in a waypoint list (1000 waypoints maximum). To make full use of waypoint features, ensure your display is receiving heading and position data. We recommend that you regularly back-up your waypoints by archiving them to a CompactFlash card. Waypoints can also be transferred to another NMEA compatible instrument.

TARGET TRACKING. . . GAIN. . . ENHANCE ECHOES. . . PRESENTATION. . . Typically your boat's position is at the centre of the display, and its dead ahead bearing is indicated by a vertical heading line, known as the Ship's Heading Marker (SHM). Remember that the radar picture may vary from visual observations that you make; a nearby small object may appear the same size on the screen as a distant large object. However, with experience the approximate size of different objects can be determined by the relative size and brightness of the echoes. How do I measure distances, ranges and bearings with the radar? VRMs Align a VRM on a target to display its range from your boat: e. g. ADJUST VRM 1. 800nm EBLs Align an EBL on a target to display its bearing relative to your boat's heading: e. g. ADJUST EBL 30. 00S Combined VRM/EBL Combine a VRM and EBL to measure range and bearing of specified target. e. g. ADJUST VRM 1. 800nm ADJUST EBL 30. 0oS Rings 1/2nm Range rings Use the range rings to gauge the approximate distances between two points or from your boat. Note: Range/bearing also displayed when VRM/EBL selected with the cursor. ?More information . . . D8939-3 See the 'Using the Radar' chapter of the Reference Manual What is around me?

AIS will augment your radar application, as it can operate in radar blind spots. In order to use the AIS feature, you will need a GPS and compass for timing and position information together with data from a suitable AIS receiver. AIS target symbols Sleeping target Target not activated, dangerous or lost. Vector line (optional) shows predicted distance travelled within given time. Dangerous target Targets within specified distance (CPA) or time (TCPA). [. . . ] Press the appropriate soft key to select the panel of your choice How do I monitor the engine(s)?
