matters related to the execution of safe navigation. For this reason we would like to remind
you that you are required to carry on board and use the ocially published and approved
nautical charts.
Please be aware that the serial ports are not opto-isolated and therefore the peripherals are
electrically connected to the device. This allows the connection of high speed peripherals, like
Fish Finder. If you are connecting a NMEA0183 peripheral and you would like to isolate it from
the device, you have to add the opto-isolator externally.

electrical shock can result.
If the equipment is giving o smoke or re, immediately turn o the power at the switchboard.
Fire or electrical shock can result.
Do not open the equipment. The equipment uses high voltage that can cause electrical shock.

Chart Plotter - User Manual
2. Introduction
The chart plotter is a computerized electronic chart system, designed as a navigation aid.
The cartplotter integrates GPS data with an electronic navigational chart and can display
additional information from AIS, sh nder and other sensors. The chart plotter is compatible
with both C-Map MAX and C-Map 4D map format on micro SD Card. The C-Map charts
can be purchased by C-Map authorized resellers. Navigating through chart plotter pages is
possible using either keyboard or remote controller.
2.1 Keyboard
1. Function keys [F1 - F4] are special keys. Each key can perform two functions. A short
press performs the function labeled on the unit face. A long press executes a second
function which can be customized by user. This gives you a wider scope of functions that
can be executed by pressing function keys. Read Par. 14.2 to learn how to customize the
function keys.
2. [MOB] is a special key dedicated to man-over-board situation. Pressing MOB places a
MOB mark on the current boat position and starts navigation to that place.
3. [MENU] opens the main menu if pressed on one of the main pages (map, Fish Finder,
GPS status, Engine monitor). It selects the top bar control buttons if pressed on full menu
