“settings menu”. 

(See Figure 2) 

 

Calibrate

Press the “Mode” button to display the 
Trip Log.

 

Quickly press the “Mode” button three (3) 
times to select and enter the Calibrate 
“settings menu”.

There are two methods of calibration;

1) A GPS or radar gun can be used to 
obtain a fixed speed. While holding the 
boat at the selected speed press the 
“Up” or “Down” buttons to adjust the 
speedometer pointer reading to match the 
GPS or radar gun indicated speed.

2) The Trip Log can be set to zero and 
then a course of known distance run, such 
as between two buoys or by using a GPS.  
At the end of the run access the 
Calibration menu item. 

Press the “Up” or “Down” buttons to 
adjust the recorded Trip Log distance to 
match the known distance. This will 
calibrate both Trip Log and the 
Speedometer.
