– More than 2 m (7 ft) from the path of a radar beam. A radar beam can normally be assumed to spread 20 degrees above and below the radiating element. • The product is supplied from a separate battery from that used for engine start. This is important to prevent erratic behavior and data loss which can occur if the engine start does not have a separate battery. • Raymarine specified cables are used. • Cables are not cut or extended, unless doing so is detailed in the installation manual.

compasses. Typically this distance should be at least 1 m (3 ft) in all directions. However for some smaller vessels it may not be possible to locate the display this far away from a compass. In this situation, the following figures provide the minimum safe distance that should be maintained between the display and any compasses.
6. Ensure that the unit fits into the removed area and then file around the rough edge until smooth. 7. Drill 4 holes as indicated on the template to accept the securing screws. 0 8. Place the gasket onto the display unit and press firmly onto the flange. 9. Connect the power, data and other cables to the unit. 10. Slide the unit into place and secure using the provided fixings. Note: The supplied gasket provides a seal between the unit and a suitably flat and stiff mounting surface or binnacle.

Ensure the memory card slot door is in the open position. 3. Orientate the bottom-right side of the bezel under the lip of the chart card door and place the bezel over the front of the display, ensuring that the clips along the bottom edge of the bezel latch into position.

Note: Extending the cable length by more than the recommended maximum length will result in signal degradation. Note: For Port 1, both the input and output communicate at the same baud rate. For example, if you have one NMEA 0183 device connected to the display's Port 1 INPUT, and another NMEA 0183 device connected to the display's Port 1 OUTPUT, both NMEA devices must be using the same baud rate.
Note: *Refer to instructions provided with the NMEA 0183 device. Memory cards and chart cards MicroSD memory cards can be used to back up / archive data (e.g. Waypoint, and Tracks). Once data is backed up to a memory card old data can be deleted from the system, creating capacity for new data. The archived data can be retrieved at any time. Chart cards provide additional or upgraded cartography. It is recommended that your data is backed up to a memory card on a regular basis.
Powering the display off Simulator mode 1. Press and hold the POWER button until the countdown reaches zero. The Simulator mode enables you to practice operating your display without data from a GPS antenna, radar scanner, AIS unit, or fishfinder. Note: If the POWER button is released before the countdown reaches zero, the power off is cancelled. The simulator mode is switched on / off in the System Setup Menu. with your finger to scroll through the available Homescreen pages.
