from any mode. These items include data, position and time formats, units of
measurement, data sources, etc.
1. Show the plotter display and press the [MENU] key to display the main menu.
2. Press the SYSTEM CONFIGURATION soft key.

5.3 Chart Setup
This paragraph shows you how to setup digital charts, from offsetting chart
position to turning chart attributes on or off.
5.3.1 Chart offset
In some instances position may be off by a few minutes. For example, the
position of the ship is shown to be at sea while it is in fact moored at a pier. You
can compensate for this error by offsetting chart position as shown in the
procedure below. You can execute the procedure from any display mode.
1. Show the plotter display and press the [MENU] key followed by the CHART
SETUP and CHART OFFSET soft keys.

Item Description Settings Default Setting
Position Smoothing When the DOP or receiving condition
is unfavorable, the GPS fix may
change greatly, even if the vessel is
dead in water. This change can be
reduced by smoothing the raw GPS
fixes. A setting between 000 to 999 is
available. The higher setting the more
smoothed the raw data, however too
high a setting shows response time to
change in latitude and longitude. This
is especially noticeable at high ship’
speeds. 000 is the normal setting;
increase the setting if the GPS fix
changes greatly.
0-999 sec 0 sec (no position
smoothing)
Spd/Cse Smoothing During position fixing, ship’s velocity
(speed and course) is directly
measured by receiving GPS satellite
signals. The raw velocity data may
change randomly depending on
receiving conditions and other
factors. You can reduce this random
variation by increasing the
smoothing. Like with latitude and
longitude smoothing, the higher the
speed and course smoothing the
more smoothed the raw data. If the
setting is too high, however, the
response to speed and course
change slows. For no smoothing,
enter all zeroes.
0-999 sec 5 sec
GPS Speed
Average Calculation of ETA is based on
average ship’s speed over a given

Disable Sat Every GPS satellite is broadcasting abnormal
satellite number(s) in its Almanac, which contains
general orbital data about all GPS satellites,
including those which are malfunctioning. Using
this information, the GPS receiver automatically
eliminates any malfunctioning satellite from the

TVG
(50 kHz,
200kHz)
TVG (Time Varied Gain)
compensates for propagation
attenuation of the ultrasonic waves.
It does this by equalizing echo
presentation so that fish schools of
the same size appear in the same
density in both shallow and deep
waters. In addition, it reduces
surface noise. Note that if the TVG
level is set too high short range
echoes may not be displayed.
0-9 5 (both 50 kHz and 200
kHz)
Echo Offset
(50 kHz,
200kHz)
If the on-screen echo level appears
to be too weak or too strong and the
level cannot be adjusted
satisfactorily with the gain control,
adjust echo offset to compensate for
too weak or strong echoes. The
default setting for both 200 kHz and
50 kHz is zero.
-50 - +50 0 (both 50 kHz and 200
kHz)
Seabed
Level
(50 kHz, 200

If the depth indication is unstable in
automatic operation or the bottom
echo cannot be displayed in reddish-
brown by adjusting the gain control
in manual operation, you may adjust
the bottom echo level detection
circuit, for both 50 kHz and 200 kHz,
to stabilize the indication. Note that if
the level is set too low weak echoes
may be missed and if set too high
the depth indication will not be
displayed.

This chapter provides information for saving and replaying memory cards, and
uploading and downloading data.
6.1 Memory Card Operations
The memory cards function to store data, and the following data can be saved:
• Marks/lines
• Waypoints/routes
• Track
• Configuration (menu settings)
6.1.1 Formatting memory cards
Before you can use a memory card it must be formatted. This prepares the card
for use with the system. Note that formatting a used card erases all saved data.
1. Insert the memory card you want to format into the card slot.
2. Press the [MENU] key followed by the SYSTEM CONFIGURATION, DATA

memory becomes full no marks may be entered.
Configuration: The loaded data replaces current configuration settings. Push
the [ENTER] knob to restart. If the memory card is ejected while loading or data
could not be loaded, Push the [ENTER] knob to restart with default settings. Note
that track memory capacity is not saved or loaded.

7. MAINTENANCE,
TROUBLESHOOTING
This chapter provides information necessary for keeping your unit in good
working order and remedying simple problems.
WARNING
Do not open the equipment.
Hazardous voltage which can
cause electrical shock exists
inside the equipment. Only
qualified personnel should
work inside the equipment.
7.1 Periodic Maintenance
Regular maintenance is important for continued performance. A maintenance
schedule should be established and should at least include the items tabulated
below.
Maintenance program
Item Check point Remedy
Display unit
connectors Check for tight connection. Tighten loosened connectors
LCD The LCD will, in time, accumulate a
coating of dust which tends to dim the
picture. Wipe LCD lightly with soft cloth
to remove dust.
Do not use chemical cleaners to
clean any part of the display unit;
they can remove paint and
markings.
Ground terminal Check for tight connection and
corrosion. Clean or replace as necessary.
Antenna unit Check for loosened and corroded bolts. Tighten loosened bolts. Replace
heavily corroded bolts.
Antenna cable • Check connection point for
watertightness.
• Check connector for tightness and
corrosion.
• Check cable for damage.

7.2 Replacement of Fuse, Battery
7.2.1 Replacement of fuse
The fuse on the power cable protects the equipment from reverse polarity of the
ship’s mains and equipment fault. If the fuse blows, find out the cause before
replacing it. Use the correct fuse (12 V, 10A, 24 V, 5A). Using the wrong fuse will
damage the equipment and void the warranty.
CAUTION
Use the proper fuse.
Use of a wrong fuse can cause fire or
equipment damage.
7.2.2 Replacement of battery
A battery fitted on a circuit board inside the display unit preserves data when the
equipment is turned off, and its life is about three years. When its voltage is low
the battery icon ( ) appears at the top of the display. When the icon appears,
contact your dealer to request replacement of the battery.
Type Code No.

7.3 Simple Troubleshooting
This section provides simple troubleshooting which the user can follow to restore
normal operation.
This section provides troubleshooting procedures for the blackbox GPS receiver.
For other GPS receiver see its owner’s manual.
Troubleshooting
If… Then…
General
you cannot turn on the power • check for blown fuse.
• check that the power connector is firmly fastened.
• check for corrosion on the power cable connector.
• check for damaged power cable.
• check battery for proper voltage output (10.8 to 31.2 V)
there is no response when a
key is pressed • Turn off and on the power. If there still is no response the key
may be faulty. Request service.
Plotter (equipped with blackbox GPS unit)
position is not fixed within three
minutes • check if antenna connector is firmly fastened.
• check for frequency deviation of GPS receiver on GPS monitor
display.
position is wrong • check that the correct geodetic chart system is selected, on the
GPS setup menu.
• enter GPS offset on the GPS setup menu.
track is not plotted • plotting has been stopped. (“H” icon appears at the top of the
display.) Press the TRACK RESUME soft key to start plotting
again.
bearing is wrong • check that correct magnetic variation is entered, on the general
menu.
Loran or Decca TDs do not
appear • check that proper Loran or Decca chain codes are entered, on
the TD option menu.
Loran TDs are wrong • enter TD offset on the TD option menu.
ship’s speed indication is not
zero after the ship is stopped • try to decrease speed smoothing on the GPS setup menu.

Troubleshooting (continued from previous page)
If… Then…
Sounder (requires blackbox echo sounder)
no picture but marks and
characters appear • check if picture advance speed is set to “0”.
picture appears but no zero line • check for loosened transducer connector.
picture sensitivity is too low • check gain setting, if using manual operation.
• marine life or air bubbles may be clinging to transducer face.
• water may be dirty.
• bottom may be too soft to return a suitable echo.
depth is not displayed • adjust gain to display the bottom echo (in reddish brown on
color model).
• correctly display bottom echo on the display.
noise or interference shows on
the display • check to be sure the transducer cable is not near ship’s engine.
• check the ground.
• other video sounders of the same frequency as yours may be
operating in the vicinity.

appears but wrong or no
readout
• check that sensor cable is tightly fastened.
