Simrad GB40, Manual

2 Setup
The setup options affect how the GB40 measures, displays and
interacts with the environment around your vessel.
Some setup options enable you to specify your preferences for
information display formats but other setup options are important
configurations that affect critical navigation settings.
After commissioning the system, you can record a backup on a
portable storage device.
It's essential that you enter accurate data to ensure the
GB40 delivers safe and reliable information.
Enter accurate draft and safe depth values, otherwise the
"Depth Below Keel" alarm will not work correctly.
Enter an accurate transducer depth value, otherwise the
echosounder screens will be wrong.
You are recommended to add a safety margin to this
accurate data.
