2.3 How to Select the ECDIS Operating Mode
The ECDIS has three operating modes: Voyage navigation, Chart maintenance, and
Voyage planning. Select the mode from the Status bar with the [PLAN], [CHARTS]
and [NAVI] buttons. The background of the button of the active mode is blue.
Note 1: When switching between the Voyage navigation and Chart maintenance
modes it may take several minutes to read the chart database when using C-MAP
charts or there are many charts installed.
Note 2: If the equipment accepts no key operation after switching to the Chart main-
tenance mode, reset the power.
