1.13 Sounder (Fish Finder) Introduction
The sounder display provides a picture of the echoes found by the fish finder. Echoes
are scrolled across the screen from the right position to the left position.
The echoes at the right position are the current echoes. These echoes can be from
separate fish, a school of fish, or the bottom. Depth to the bottom is indicated always,
provided the gain is set correctly. You can scroll the echoes backward.
Both low and high TX frequencies are provided. (Frequencies depend on the trans-
ducer connected.) The low frequency has a wide detection area, which is for general
detection and understanding bottom conditions. The high frequency has a narrow
beam that helps you inspect fish.
The range, gain, clutter and TVG can be adjusted automatically according to your pur-
pose (cruising or fishing) to let you do other tasks.

1.18 Wireless LAN Settings
You can connect to the internet with the wireless LAN signal to download weather in-
formation (see chapter 11) and to connect to an iPhone, iPod, iPad, or Android™ de-
vice. To download weather information, connect the existing LAN network. To connect
to an iPhone, iPod, iPad, or Android™ device, create a local wireless network.
About the wireless LAN
• The wireless LAN function is available only in the countries which have acquired ra-
dio wave certification. Turn this function off in countries which do not have radio
wave certification. Ocean-going vessels that have radio wave certification can use
the wireless LAN function in any country that has acquired radio wave certification.
Vessels with radio wave certification that enter a country that does not have radio
wave certification may use the wireless LAN function only onboard the vessel.
Available countries (as of 12/2014): USA, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, and Ja-
pan.
• The communication rate and effective range for the wireless LAN can be affected
by the electromagnetic wave, interfering object, or access point location.
• We strongly recommend using the wireless LAN with encrypted connection. Other-
wise unauthorized access by a third party can occur, which can cause loss of data
or system crash.
• We recommend changing the initial password when using a local wireless network.

2. PLOTTER
This chapter shows you how to do the following:
• Use and prepare the plotter display
• Set plotter related alarms
• Control the track
2.1 Chart Type
A world map in raster chart format is included in your unit. A vector chart for the US
coastline (Alaska and Hawaii included) is provided also. To use this plotter as a navi-
gational aid, have electronic charts (stored in the internal memory) for the area you
navigate. Contact your dealer about charts for your area.
There are two types of charts available with this equipment.
[Raster]: Raster charts are digitized scans of NOAA paper charts. Raster charts have
information like notes, source diagrams, tidal diamonds, horizontal and vertical datum,
etc.
[HO]: HO charts are S-57 format vector charts (digital files) that contain marine fea-
tures and information created for marine navigation. These charts are made according
to the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO). HO charts are available from
Jeppensen, Navionics, Mapmedia, and NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration).
How to select a chart type
1. Select the plotter display.
2. Open the [Layers] menu.
3. Tap the chart type from among [Auto], [Raster] or [HOs].
*: [Auto] automatically switches the chart type according to chart availability and prior-
ity.

Method 2: Operate the range slider at the right side of the screen. Drag the slider or
tap the “+” or “-” icon (above and below the slider) to set the display range. (The slider
bar is shown in the default setting. The bar can be shown or hidden with [Show Range
Sliders] in the [Settings] - [General] menu.)

White: Range is appropriate; normal chart accuracy.
Red: Range is inappropriate; unsuitable chart accuracy.
Note 2: You can zoom in or out the display range on the preview screen.

2.5 The Boat Icon
The boat icon, colored red, appears at the current position. The boat icon has the func-
tions indicated below also.
• The Heading line is a straight line that runs from your position and this line shows
the current heading.
• The COG vector is a vector line that runs from the boat icon and points in the direc-
tion in which your ship is now moving. Also, a red arrow points in the direction the
ship is turning.
How to show or hide the COG vector or heading line
Tap the boat icon to show the pop-up menu. Turn [COG] or [HDG] on or off as re-
quired)
COG vector length
The COG vector shows estimated course and speed of your ship. This predictor is
displayed as the COG vector. The top of the predictor is the estimated position of your
ship at the end of the selected predictor time or distance (set on the menu). You can
increase the length of the predictor to find the estimated position of your ship in the
future on the current course and speed. You can set the COG/SOG predictor as fol-
lows. The greater the distance or the time, the longer the COG/SOG predictor.
