IMPORTANT NOTICE!!

THE MX500 IS AN AID TO NAVIGATION ONLY.

Under no circumstances should it be used in lieu of

authorized government charts. Its accuracy can be

affected by many factors such as equipment defects,

environmental conditions, or improper operation. The

user is responsible for safe navigation of the vessel.

This includes consulting authorized government charts

and exercising common prudence and navigational

judgement at all times.

1 General

This manual reflects the software capabilities in version

3.0 software.

We have attempted to take care and develop manuals

which provide in-depth information. Where possible, we

have attempted not only to describe what you see on

the screen, but how to understand and use it as well.

Obviously, we can’t teach you how to navigate, but we

can help make your work more thorough and enjoyable.

Throughout the manual, you will find helpful hints about

the interaction of various functions. In a piece of equip-

ment that has the many capabilities of this receiver, im-

portant details can sometimes become obscured in one

or two lines of text. In our effort to ensure you get the

most out of this documentation, and to protect against

important details becoming lost, don’t be surprised if you

see the same or similar information more than once.

This manual is organized by describing first the MX500

model covered in this book. Then the special front panel

features including the traffic light indicator and USB

connector. The sections that follow detail each primary

function as it is presented on the front panel (i.e. NAV,

RTE, WPT, PLOT, ...CFG). The appedixes describe impor-

tant details about special functions and installation of the

MX500.

We hope you find the manual enjoyable and informa-

tive reading. As always, we welcome your comments on

improving our products or manuals. We wouldn’t mind

if you wrote to tell us that we did the job right the first

time either. You can find a Reader Comment Card at the

back of the manual.
