Raymarine H6, Owner'S Manual, Page: 13 / 192

Important Information xiii
Using H6
By design, the fundamental principle of H6 is that the helmsman should choose
the layout of helm instruments, not the boat-builder. Therefore H6 can be
customized to display only the instruments that are required for a particular
operation.
In many instances there is more than one way in which a task can be executed;
this manual describes only one. Experiment; choose the layouts and methods of
completing a task that are best suited to the way in which you carry out an
operation.
About this manual
This manual describes how to operate the H6 System and is intended for users
with varying technical and marine abilities, but assumes a general level of
knowledge of PC use and nautical terminology and practices.
Conventions used
In this manual the following conventions will be used:
• H6 refers to Raymarine H6.
• Italics are used to show names such as those on softkeys, e.g.
Gain.
• Instructions for using menu options are written as menu option/submenu
options .
For example, the instructions might read ‘ Select Controls/ Route/Choose

to clicking the left trackball button once.
