function can be setup to lay down a Track for a predetermined time or distance interval. If
you have a fast moving boat you may want to setup the GPS chartplotter to record a Track
point every 0.5 NM or if you have a sail boat you may want to setup to lay down a Track point
once ever 1 minute.
NOTE
Pls note the Track point memory is 3000 points. This means for a long journey you may have to adjust
the time or distance to be able to track your journey. It should be noted when the 3000 Track points
are used up the first Track point layed down will be deleted when a new point is placed on the chart.

VHF DIGITAL SELECTIVE CALLING *
Digital Selective Calling is a semi-automated method of establishing a VHF radio call. DSC
had also been designated as part of the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System
(GMDSS). It is planned that DSC will eventually replace aural watches on distress
frequencies and will be used to announce routine and urgent maritime safety information
broadcasts.
This new system allow mariners to instantly send a distress call with GPS position (when
connected to the transceiver) to the US Coast Guard and other vessels within range of the
transmission. DSC will also allow mariners to initiate POSITION Request, POSITION Send
calls to or from another vessel equipped with a DSC transceiver.
The CPV350 is capable of VHF Marine Radios with Digital Selective Calling are able to be
interfaced with the GPS chartplotter which feeds GPS data to the VHF and listens for DSC
calls from the VHF. By connecting a few wires between the STANDARD HORIZON VHF and
the GPS chartplotter it will receive:
1. a vessel that has transmitted a DSC Distress call
2. a vessel that has transmitted a DSC Position Send Call
3. The position of a vessel that transmitted a DSC Position Request Call
13.9.0 Position Request
The CPV350 can transmit a DSC position request call to other equipped vessels with DSC.
The position of the polled vessel is show on the chart pages after the call was received. This
is a great feature for anyone wanting to know the position of another vessel for example you
buddy that is catching fish, or finding the location of a person you are cruising with.

COMPASS
The GPS chartplotter computes compass direction from the constellation of GPS Satellites.
For the GPS chartplotter to compute COG (Course Over Ground) direction the vessel must
be moving through the water. This menu allows the GPS chartplotter to customize the
following selections:
Bearings
: Selects between True and Magnetic. When Magnetic bearings is enabled, the GPS chartplotter applies
the selected Magnetic Variation (Auto or Manual, see next paragraph) to compute True bearing.
Variation : Allows the user to select Auto or Manual. When Auto mode is selected the GPS chartplotter computes
the offset by the current GPS fixed location. Manual mode allows the user to enter in a magnetic variation
that is applied in the True conversion.
Calibration : This function allows a user to enter in the offset for areas that the vessel may cruise instead of entering
in a manual offset for one location. This offset is useful for cruising vessels or vessels that travel
internationally often.

(distance) of the area the GPS chartplotter looks ahead for a shallow area can be set using this
function.
The following warning appears when the Grounding Alarm is enabled:
NOTES
The Grounding Alarm function only operates with the new NT+/MAX C-CARDs. It also affects the
speed of the redraw of the screen. If this function is not used it may be disabled.
When any of the objects checked are found for the first time, the GPS chartplotter shows a pop up
window to alert the user of the possible danger. The name of each new dangerous object found is
reported in the warning window. In the Grounding Alarm Report page the relative item has a tick
marker next to it, to identify the dangerous object currently detected. If in the next search cycle the
same objects are found again, the alarm window will not be shown. Instead, if in the next searches
the objects found before are no longer detected, their relevant item in the Grounding Alarm Report
page is cleared (note that in this case, if the same object type is found again later, the Alarm will
be shown). The GPS chartplotter shows an icon on the charts that identifies when a Grounding
Alarm is detected.

15. AIS
AIS is an Automatic Identification System. It has been introduced to improve the safety of
navigation by assisting in the efficient operation of ship-to ship, ship reporting and VTS
applications. The system should enable operators to obtain information from the ship
automatically, requiring a minimum of involvement of ship’s personnel, and should have a
high level of availability. AIS transponders installed on IMO vessels use VHF frequencies
to:
♦
Transmit details of their own vessel
♦
Receive details from other vessels or navigation aids within VHF range.
Information being transmitted from vessels over 300 tons that, due to recent worldwide
legislation, are required to fit Class “A” AIS transponders.
Connecting to the GPS chartplotter an AIS receiver (please contact your local dealer),
vessels with AIS transponder within VHF range are displayed on screen giving the skipper
or navigator a visual interpretation of the data of nearby vessels. This improves safety, and
specifically for collision avoidance reasons.

AIS SYSTEM DEFINITIONS
Target: It is a vessel equipped with AIS. Information about the targets is being
received by AIS Receiver and displayed on the screen.
CPA : Closest Point of Approach is the closest distance that will be achieved
between your vessel and the tracked target, based on your vessel’s speed and
direction and the target’s speed and direction.
CPA Limit: This is the distance from your vessel that a target may reach before
a target is deemed a threat.
CPA Alarm: Occurs if CPA is less or equal to CPA Limit. This test is done for
active targets only.
TCPA: Time to closest Point of Approach is the time remaining until the CPA
will occur.
TCPA Limit: This is the time remaining before the CPA is reached.
TCPA Alarm: Occurs if TCPA is less or equal to TCPA Limit. This test is done
for active targets only and if CPA value is less or equal to CPA Limit.
Radio Call Sign: International call sign assigned to vessel, often used on voice
radio.
Name: Name of ship, 20 characters.
MMSI: Maritime Mobile Service Identity.
MMSI number: A unique 9 digit number that is assigned to a DSC radio station. It primarily registers the boat information in the U.S. Coast Guard’s national distress database for use in emergency situations.
Active Target: Target located within the Activation Range. Active target is represented by oriented triangle with COG and Heading vectors. Rate of turn may
also be displayed.
Page 74
CPV350
Dangerous Target: Target detected by CPA or TCPA Alarm. Dangerous target
is Active Target by definition. For better visibility Dangerous Target symbol is
flashing.
Sleeping Target: Target located outside the Activation Range. Sleeping target
is represented by a small oriented triangle.
Lost Target: When the AIS info is not received from that vessel for 3.5 minutes. The presentation will be a flashing black triangle with a cross through.
Activation Range: Range around your boat where targets become active. AIS
target become active within this range. Activation Range should be greater
than CPA Limit by definition.
♦
♦
♦
♦
NOTE
A target is removed from the screen if data is not received for 10 minutes.
The maximum number of tracked targets is 100.
Depending on the scale the presentation of the targets change to remove clutter on the screen. This
information is updated every 3 seconds to 6 minutes depending on speed and rate of turn, enabling
the track of the vessels in range to be plotted.

to life or property. In such instances, be sure the transceiver is on and set to CHANNEL 16.
Then use the following procedure:
1. Press the microphone push-to-talk switch and say “Mayday, Mayday, Mayday.
This is
” (your vessel’s name).
2. Then repeat once: “Mayday,
” (your vessel’s name).
3. Now report your position in latitude/longitude, or by giving a true or magnetic bearing
Page 84
CPV350
(state which) to a well-known landmark such as a navigation aid or geographic feature
such as an island or harbor entry.
4. Explain the nature of your distress (sinking, collision, aground, fire, heart attack, lifethreatening injury, etc.).
5. State the kind of assistance your desire (pumps, medical aid, etc.).
6. Report the number of persons aboard and condition of any injured.
7. Estimate the present seaworthiness and condition of your vessel.
8. Give your vessel’s description: length, design (power or sail), color and other distinguishing
marks. The total transmission should not exceed 1 minute.
9. End the message by saying “OVER.” Release the microphone button and listen.
10. If there is no answer, repeat the above procedure. If there is still no response, try another
channel.
18.7
CALLING ANOTHER VESSEL (CHANNEL 16 OR 9)
Channel 16 may be used for initial contact (hailing) with another vessel.
However, its most important use is for emergency and distress messages. This channel
must be monitored at all times except when actually using another channel.
It is monitored by the U.S. and Canadian Coast Guards and by other vessels. Use of channel
16 for hailing must be limited to initial contact only. Calling should not exceed 30 seconds,
but may be repeated 3 times at 2-minute intervals. In areas of heavy radio traffic, congestion
on channel 16 resulting from its use as a hailing channel can be reduced significantly in U.S.
waters by using channel 9 as the initial contact (hailing) channel for non-emergency
communications. Here, also, calling time should not exceed 30 seconds but may be
repeated 3 times at 2-minute intervals.
Prior to making contact with another vessel, refer to the channel charts in this manual, and
select an appropriate channel for communications after initial contact. For example,
Channels 68 and 69 are some of the channels available to non-commercial (recreational)
boaters. Monitor your desired channel in advance to make sure you will not be interrupting
other traffic, and then go back to either channel 16 or 9 for your initial contact.
When the hailing channel (16 or 9) is clear, state the name of the other vessel you wish to
call and then “This is” followed by the name of your vessel and your Station License (Call
Sign). When the other vessel returns your call, immediately request another channel by
saying “Go to,” the number of the other channel, and “Over.” Then switch to the new channel.
When the new channel is not busy, call the other vessel.
After a transmission, say “Over,” and release the microphone’s push-to-talk (PTT) switch.
When all communication with the other vessel is completed, end the last transmission by
stating your Call Sign and the word “Out.” Note that it is not necessary to state your Call Sign
with each transmission, only at the beginning and end of the contact.
Remember to return to Channel 16 when not using another channel. Some radios
automatically monitor Channel 16 even when set to other channels or when scanning.
18.8
MAKING TELEPHONE CALLS
To make a radiotelephone call, use a channel designated for this purpose. The fastest way
to learn which channels are used for radiotelephone traffic is to ask at a local marina.
Channels available for such traffic are designated Public Correspondence channels on the
channel charts in this manual. Some examples for USA use are Channels 24, 25, 26, 27,
CPV350
Page 85
28, 84, 85, 86, and 87. Call the marine operator and identify yourself by your vessel’s name,
The marine operator will then ask you how you will pay for the call (telephone credit card,
collect, etc.) and then link your radio transmission to the telephone lines.
The marine telephone company managing the VHF channel you are using may charge a
link-up fee in addition to the cost of the call.
18.9
OPERATING ON CHANNELS 13 AND 67
Channel 13 is used at docks and bridges and by vessels maneuvering in port. Messages
on this channel must concern navigation only, such as meeting and passing in restricted
waters.
Channel 67 is used for navigational traffic between vessels.
By regulation, power is normally limited to 1 Watt on these channels. Your radio is
programmed to automatically reduce power to this limit on these channels. However, in
certain situations it may be necessary to temporarily use a higher power. See page 89
([H/L] key) for means to temporarily override the low-power limit on these two channels.
18.10 DUAL WATCH (TO PRIORITY CHANNEL)
Dual watch allows the radio to monitor one channel and the assigned Priority channel. By
default the priority channel is set to 16, however the priority channel may be changed by
referring to section “18.11.3 Priority Channel Set.”
1. Adjust [SQL] until the background noise disappears.
2. Select the channel you wish to dual watch to “Priority channel” by
rotating the channel knob.
3. Press [DW].
4. The CPV350 will scan between Priority channel and the channel that
was selected in step 2.
5. If a transmission is received on the channel selected in step 2, the CPV350 will dual
watch between the working channel and the Priority channel.
6. To stop Dual Watch, press [DW] again.
18.11 SCANNING

19.0
GENERAL
WARNING
This radio is designed to generate a digital maritime distress and safety call to
facilitate search and rescue. To be effective as a safety device, this equipment must
be used only within communication range of a shore-based VHF marine channel 70
distress and safety watch system. The range of signal may vary but under normal
conditions should be approximately 20 nautical miles.
NOTE
A DSC Warning sticker is included with the CPV350. To comply with FCC
regulations this sticker must be mounted in a location that can be easily viewed from
the location of the CPV350. Make sure
WARNING
STICKER
the chosen location is clean and dry
before applying the sticker.
Digital Selective Calling is a semiautomated method of establishing a radio
call, it has been designated by the
International Maritime Organization (IMO)
as an international standard for
establishing VHF, MF, and HF radio calls.
It has also been designated as part of the
Global Maritime Distress and Safety
System (GMDSS). It is planned that DSC
will eventually replace aural watches on distress frequencies and will be used to
announce routine and urgent maritime safety information broadcasts.
This system allows mariners to instantly send a distress call with GPS position
(when connected to the transceiver) to the Coast Guard and other vessels within
range of the transmission. DSC will also allow mariners to initiate or receive
Distress, Urgency, Safety, Routine, POSITION REQUEST, POSITION SEND, and
Group calls to or from another vessel equipped with a DSC transceiver.

TROUBLESHOOTING
The GPS chartplotter does not turn On. The voltage or the polarity may not be correct.
Make sure that the correct voltage (10-35 volt dc) is present. Check also that the polarity
is correct.
The GPS chartplotter does not get a valid fix. The GPS WAAS Smart Antenna may not
be in a open sky position or the antenna cable may not be properly connected. Make sure
that no metal obstacle is placed around the antenna acting as a shield for the antenna and
disconnect and connect again the antenna cable to the GPS chartplotter. If, after 15
minutes, the GPS chartplotter does not get the fix, turn it Off and On again.
The GPS chartplotter does not turn Off. The GPS chartplotter may be in an unpredictable
status. If, after pressing [PWR] (for at least 3 seconds) the GPS chartplotter does not turn
Off, turn Off the voltage.
The GPS chartplotter screen becomes very dark after a long exposure to direct
sunlight. The internal temperature is very high. Control the contrast. Protect the GPS
chartplotter from direct sunlight.
The GPS chartplotter does not respond to any command. The GPS chartplotter may be
in an unpredictable status. Try to turn Off, and then turn On. If the problem persists, erase
the memory) or remove power from the battery.
External devices are not receiving data from the GPS chartplotter. The connections or
the Software settings may not be right. Check the connections or the settings.
The location of my fix is not shown correctly on the Chart page. This is usually caused
when C-MAP Geo-References a nautical chart. Contact C-MAP with the Latitude &
Longitude of your vessels position, the position where you think your vessels should be and
with details of the cartography areas, which can be seen by selecting the Chart page, press
[MENU], move the ShuttlePoint knob to highlight FIND SERVICES and press [ENT], move
the ShuttlePoint knob to highlight INFORMATION and press [ENT], move the ShuttlePoint
knob to Data Source and press [ENT]. Write down the “Compilation scale”, “Notice to
mariners” and “Horizontal datum”. Next contact C-MAP USA at 508/477-8010 and advise
the problem.

24. CHANNEL ASSIGNMENTS
Tables on the following columns list the VHF Marine Channel assignments for U.S.A. and
International use. Below are listed some data about the charts.
1. VTS. Where indicated, these channels are part of the U.S. Coast Guard’s Vessel Traffic
System.
2. Alpha channel numbers, that is, channel numbers followed by the letter A (such as
Channel 07A) are simplex channels on the U.S.A. or Canadian channel assignments
whose counterparts in the International assignments are duplex channels. International
channels do not use “alpha” numbers. If you call the Coast Guard on Channel 16, they
will sometimes ask you to “go to channel 22 Alpha.” This is a channel assigned to U.S.A,
and Canadian Coast Guards for handling distress and other calls. If your radio is set for
International operation you will go to Channel 22 instead of 22A, and will not be able to
communicate with the Coast Guard. To use Channel 22A, your radio must be set for
USA or Canada operation, usually by a U/I/C (USA/International/Canada) control or
combination of controls. Channel 22 (without an “A”) is an International duplex channel
for port operations. Some radios indicate an “A” adjacent to the alpha channels on the
display; on others “alpha” is not indicated but the proper channel is selected based on
the U/I/C setting.
3. Bridge-to-Bridge channels (for example, Channel 13) are for use by bridge operators
on intercoastal waterways and rivers. It is also used by marine vessels in the vicinity of
these bridges for navigation and for communicating with the bridge operators. Note that
a limit of 1 Watt is specified for these channels. See page 28 for additional information.
4. The S/D column on the chart indicates either S (simplex) or D (duplex). Simplex means
transmitting and receiving on the same frequency. Only one party at a time can talk,
unlike a telephone. Be sure to say “over” and release your microphone push-to-talk
switch at the end of each transmission. Duplex operation involves the use of one
frequency for transmitting and a separate frequency for receiving. On channels
specified as duplex on the charts, correct mode of operation is established automatically
by your radio when you select a channel; you cannot change the mode. And you still
must release the push-to-talk switch after each transmission in order to listen to the
radio.
5. Channels normally used by recreational boaters are those that include the term “noncommercial” in the Channel Use column of the chart. Some of these are shared with
other users and some are used only in certain geographic regions.
6. Marine vessels equipped with VHF radios are required to monitor Channel 16.

DEPTH – Shows the water depth when the optional FF520 50/200kHz BLACK BOX FISH
FINDER or Digital Depth Sounder is connected.
DRAUGHT – Tide height value referred to Horizontal cursor.
DSC (Digital Selective Calling) – Digital Selective Calling is a semi-automated method of
establishing a VHF Radio call. DSC had also been designated as part of the Global Maritime
Distress and Safety System (GMDSS). It is planned that DSC will eventually replace aural
watches on distress frequencies and will be used to announce routine and urgent maritime
safety information broadcasts.
DST (Distance) – The distance from your current position to a Destination point.
ETA – Estimated Time of Arrival
GPS Constellation – The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a space-based radionavigation system consisting of a constellation of satellites and a network of ground stations
used for monitoring and control. A minimum of 24 GPS satellites orbit the Earth at an altitude
of approximately 11,000 miles providing users with accurate information on position,
velocity and time anywhere in the world and in all weather conditions.
GPS2D – The GPS is receiving at least 2 valid satellites.
GPS3D – The GPS is receiving at least 3 Satellites.
HDG (Heading) – Shows heading from a External Flux Gate Compass when connected.
HDOP/VDOP – Horizontal/Vertical Dilution of Precision. It is a parameter indicating the
precision of the positioning system (GPS). The smaller the HDOP/VDOP value, the more
accurately the position fix is provided.
HEIGHT – The current tide height referred to the vertical cursor.
HIGH WATER – The maximum level of the tide height in 24 hours.
LOW WATER – The minimum level of the tide height in 24 hours.
Position Request – Marine DSC VHF Function of transmitting a GPS position to another

SPEED – Shows the Speed Thru the Water when a Digital Speed Log is connected.
SOG (Speed Over Ground) – The speed you vessel is traveling at.
STEER – Heading to steer to destination Waypoint.
TIME – Shows the current time received by the GPS.
TRIP LOG – Shows the distance the vessel has traveled since the trip log was reset.
TRU Wind DIR SPD (Apparent Wind Direction) – Shows the True Wind Direction when a
external wind instrument with NMEA is connected.
TRU Wind SPD (Apparent Wind Speed) – Shows the True Wind Speed when a external
wind instrument with NMEA is connected.
TTG (Time To Go) – Shows time to go to reach a Destination point.
UNITS
Nm Nautical Mile (1 NM = 1.15 Sm or 1.85Km)
Sm Statue Mile (1Sm = 0.87Nm or 1.61Km)
Km Kilometer (1 Kilometer = 0062 Sm or 0.54Nm)
FT Feet. (1 Foot = 0.167 Fathoms or 0.305 Meters)
FA Fathom (1 Fathom = 6 Feet or 1.83 Meters)
Mt Meter (1 Meter = 3.28 Feet or 0.55 Fathoms)
Kts Knot (1 Knot = 1.15 MPH or 1.85 KPH)
MPH Miles Per Hour (1 MPH = 0.87 Knots or 1.61 KPH)
Kmh Kilometer Per Hour (1 KPH = 0.54 Knots or 0.62 MPH)
VMG – It is the destination closing Velocity. The VMG is calculated using the current speed
of the vessel (SOG) and the difference between the current vessel course and the bearing
to the Destination.
WAAS 2D/3D – The GPS is receiving a 2D or 3D position and the correction from the WAAS
Satellite. WAAS consists of approximately 25 ground reference stations positioned across
the United States that monitor GPS satellite data. Two master stations, located on either
coast, collect data from the reference stations and create a GPS correction message. This
correction accounts for GPS satellite orbit and clock drift plus signal delays caused by the
atmosphere and ionosphere. The corrected differential message is then broadcast through
one of two geostationary satellites, or satellites with a fixed position over the equator. The
information is compatible with the basic GPS signal structure, which means any WAASenabled GPS receiver can read the signal.
WATER TEMP – Shows the sea water temperature when the FF520 50/200kHz BLACK
BOX FISH FINDER or a Digital Speed Log/Temp instrument with NMEA is connected.
XTE (Cross Track Error) – The distance your vessel is off course (left or right) to a
Destination point.
