Automatic Unlock Code Insertion

MFD8/12/BB v2.05 or above

Introduction

Charts not included as standard on the NavNet 3D MFD are encrypted because of

royalty payments due to each Hydrographic Office. Unless an Unlock Code is entered

for each protected chart region, the locked charts copied into the NavNet 3D MFD

cannot be viewed.

Note: Unlock Codes are not

necessary for the USA NOAA Data and accordingly each

NOAA chart region is distributed in an unlocked, non-protected format (U.S. Satellite

Photos, NOAA S57 Vector Charts or NOAA Raster Charts). These instructions only

apply to chart regions that have been purchased and are locked.

This document describes a process that can be used to automatically enter all the

Unlock Codes in a NavNet3D System using a regular SD-Card.
