WARNING !!!

After every software upgrade the RAM is cleared and the chart plotter re starts with the usual

default settings. Please go to the Input/Output menu and set the proper input format once again.

5*. The default setting is NMEA-0183 4800-N81-N. For example to set the Port 2 as

NMEA-0183 (4800 Baud Rate, Parity None, 8 Bits Number, 1 Stop Bit and Normal

Polarity) you must select:

"PORT 2 INPUT" + 'ENTER'+ "NMEA-0183 4800-N81-N" + 'ENTER'

The port selection for C-COM or BBFF (Fish Finder) system defines on which Port (in Input or

Output) are to be connected the two systems. It is important to remark that this setting affects the

Input and the Output of the selected Port. If the C-COM or BBFF (Fish Finder) was already

assigned to one Port and the user tries to set the C-COM or BBFF (Fish Finder) to another port,

the chart plotter will show a message that warns the user about the current settings and asks if the

new settings should overwrite the previous ones.
