GETTING STARTED
When the Clipper Distance & Log is first turned on, it automatically
performs a number of self-test processes, and after a brief delay
switches on the backlight illumination at the factory pre-set level.
It then displays the
speed in the previously selected mode of knots
or MPH (as shown on Figure 3).
The factory default settings are Nautical Miles and Speed in
Knots. The factory pre-set trip and total distances are both zero.
