When you have connected your display unit to the required equipment ensure
that position data is available at the display via NMEA or SeaTalk.
To confirm your chartplotter is operating correctly, perform the following
checks:
1. Without a chart card installed, select the Chart display mode and select a
suitable range scale. Verify that the world map is visible.
Use the trackpad to check cursor movement and normal scrolling action.
2. To ensure that the display is responding to position data:
Press
FIND SHIP, check the cursor is fixed on the vessel symbol which is cor-
rectly positioned at the center of the chart display.
3. Insert a chart cartridge for the area of your vessel.
Use the
RANGE key to zoom-in to check that the chart data is being dis-
played.
