Warning

AIS:

 The AIS features on this chart-plotter are designed as a safety aid only and do not 

guarantee safety at sea. AIS transmission is mandatory on some, but not all, vessels. AIS 
should be used to complement radar, but AIS is not a substitute for radar.

Notes

•  AIS and Radar functions require optional accessories to be installed.
•  Radar is available in 2 kW, 4 kW, 6 kW units.
•  The setup menu can be opened by pressing 

 twice (8084) / 

 

  (8120) then select

Appendix

8084 Size

: 190 mm (7.48“) H x 285 mm (11.22“) W x 76.8 mm (3.02“) D. Allow 3 mm 

clearance on each side for dust cover.

8084 Display

: 213.4 mm (8.4”) diagonal, TFT color, 800 x 600 pixels.

CPA

 - Closest Point of Approach. The closest distance two vessels will come to each 

other based on their current course and speed.

Radar guard zone

 - An area around the boat, set up by the operator and defined by 

distance and bearing. If an object (e.g. another boat) enters the radar guard zone, an 
alarm is activated.

Rain clutter

 - Heavy rain or snow can cause interference with the radar image.

Range (radar)

 - The distance between the centre of the radar image and the outer range 

ring. The scale is shown in the top left corner of the radar window.

Range rings

 - Concentric circles extending from your boat (usually at the centre of the 

radar window) and used to estimate distances to objects.  The scale is shown in the top 
left corner of the radar window.

Route

 - Two or more waypoints linked in sequence to form a course for the boat.

Sea clutter

 - Rough seas can cause interference with the radar image.
