How do the controls work?
The controls for your C-Series Display can be separated into two types:
Buttons
Soft keys
Buttons - allow you to access various functions of the display, or change what you see on the screen.
Soft keys - There are five soft keys below the screen. When a specific button is pressed the primary
soft key options for the active application are shown at the bottom of the screen.
Pressing a soft key will carry out one of the following functions:
- take an action.
- select one of several options.
- display on-screen information, dialog boxes or menus with new soft keys.
- display further soft key options.
Soft keys sometimes interact with other on-screen controls, such as dialog boxes - to edit names etc,

CAUTION
CompactFlash Card Installation
When installing CompactFlash cards ensure that the card is being fitted the correct
way around.
DO NOT try and force the card as this may result in irreparable damage to the
card.
Water Ingress
To prevent the ingress of water and consequent damage to the display, ensure
that the chart card door is firmly closed at all times during operation. This can be
confirmed by an audible click.
Card Removal
DO NOT use a metallic instrument such as a screwdrver or pliers to help you
remove a card, as doing this can cause irreparable damage.
Card Writing
CompactFlash cards can be damaged if they are removed during either a read or
write operation. A warning is displayed during write operations. The unit is
continually reading the card. It is therefore essential that before removing the
card you follow the correct procedure.
How do I insert a CompactFlash card?
To insert a card, refer to the illustration, and:

How do I change the chart orientation?
The orientation of the chart refers to the relationship between
the chart and the direction that you are travelling in. It is used
in conjunction with motion mode (see below) to control how
your boat and chart relate to one another and how they are
displayed on screen.
The default mode for chart orientation is North Up (N-up). This
means that your chart is displayed with true north upwards. As
your heading changes the boat symbol moves accordingly.

If necessary, you can change the

Card No. 8
What is a waypoint?
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 (using Lat/Long or Loran TD co-ordinates). Waypoints are represented in chart or
radar applications as an 'X' - this can be changed if required and by a horizontal line labelled WPT in
Fishfinder. The details of each waypoint is stored in a waypoint list which can hold up to 1000 waypoints.
Infrequently used waypoints can be archived to a CompactFlash card or transferred to another NMEA
compatible instrument. Waypoints can be renamed, edited, grouped, or erased, as necessary. To make
full use of waypoint features, ensure your display is receiving heading and position data.

What is a route?
A route is made up of a series of waypoints. These waypoints can either be placed specifically for that
route and/or you can use existing waypoints. You can save a route for future use or follow it immediately
(Quick Route).
Routes can be named, edited, erased and archived. After routes have been created you can choose which
ones are displayed on your chart.
If a route is being followed, i.e. the active route, the current leg is shown as a dotted line and any
previous legs are removed from the screen, although any waypoints will remain displayed.

Typically your boats 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 can the radar help me avoid a collision?
You can set up your C-Series Display to sound an alarm when anything comes within a pre-set range of
the boat. This will allow you to take any necessary action to avoid a collision.
Guard zones
A sector or circular zone fixed with respect to the Ships Heading Marker (SHM). As the SHM moves or if
the centre is offset, or the range scale changes the zone moves accordingly.
MARPA
This function is used to track and analyse the risk of collision of up to ten individual targets.

IMPORTANT:
A guard zone will only operate when a whole
zone is displayed on the screen, or is displayed

What is MARPA?
Mini Automatic Radar Plotting Aid (MARPA) functions are use for target tracking and risk analysis.
MARPA improves your standards of collision avoidance by obtaining detailed information for up to 10
targets, and provides continuous and rapid situation evaluation.
MARPA tracks the selected targets and calculates target bearing, range, true speed, course, Closest Point
of Approach (CPA), and Time to Closest Point of Approach (TCPA). Each tracked target can be displayed
with a CPA graphic depicting the approximate target speed (vector length) and course (vector direction).
The calculated target data can also be shown on the screen. Each target is continually assessed and an
audible alarm is sounded if a target becomes dangerous or is lost.

What does the CDI show me?....
The CDI gives a graphical representation of your boat's course. This 'rolling road' format represents
a width of sea equal to the Cross Track Error (XTE) limits that you have specified in the Setup menu.
As you travel towards the target waypoint, the checkered pattern moves down the screen to
simulate movement at a rate proportional to your boat's speed.
