A Look At the Display
You can access each of the main screens by applying power, waiting about 4 seconds, then
pressing the PUSH/SELECT control once to reach the menu selector screen. Rotate the
PUSH/SELECT control until you see the desired screen highlighted. Then press the control to
bring up the screen. The examples shown presume that you have connected an optional GPS
unit.
The RADIO screen (1) displays the selected channel and the channel name as well as other
data you can select during setup. In this example, channel 16 is the Coast Guard/Distress/Hail-
ing channel.
The XTRACK screen (2) displays direction, and bearing as well as Estimated Time Enroute if
you have received a Distress, a position send from another vessel, or a position reply. The
scale at the bottom is a guide to how far off course you might be. If the MMSI you receive has
an associated name in your Directory, that name is automatically displayed.
The COMPASS screen (3) dynamically shows your heading and bearing. It is easily read rap-
idly as a convenience.
The DIGITAL screen (4) displays basic data regarding your vessel’s movement, direction,
ETE, and distance.
You can display a fifth screen (5) that is similar to screen 4 starting from the
RADIO screen. Press and hold the PUSH/SELECT control for approxi-
mately 2 seconds. The screen to the right appears. To return to the RADIO
screen, press and release the PUSH/SELECT control.
