Item Description
1 Sky view — a visual representation of the position of tracked
satellites.
2 Satellite status — displays the signal strength and status of
each satellite identified in the sky view diagram on the left of the
screen. The colored bars have the following meanings:
• Grey = searching for satellite.
• Green = satellite in use.
• Orange = tracking satellite.
3 Horizontal Dilution of Position (HDOP) — a measure of
GPS accuracy, calculated from a number of factors including
satellite geometry, system errors in the data transmission and
system errors in the GPS receiver. A higher figure signifies a
greater positional error. A typical GPS receiver has an accuracy
of between 5 and 15 m. As an example, assuming a GPS
receiver error of 5 m, an HDOP of 2 would represent an error
of approximately 15 m. Please remember that even a very
low HDOP figure is NO guarantee that your GPS receiver is
providing an accurate position. If in doubt, check the displayed
vessel position in the chart application against your actual
proximity to a known charted object.
4 Fix status — indicates the actual mode the GPS receiver is
reporting (No Fix, Fix, D Fix or SD Fix).
5 Mode — the mode currently selected by the GPS receiver.
6 Datum — The GPS receiver’s datum setting affects the
accuracy of the vessel position information displayed in the chart
application. In order for your GPS receiver and multifunction
display to correlate accurately with your paper charts, they must
be using the same datum.
The accuracy of the GPS receiver depends on the parameters
detailed above, especially the azimuth and elevation angles which
are used in triangulation to calculate your position.
Radar check
Warning: Radar scanner safety
Before rotating the radar scanner, ensure all personnel
are clear.
Warning: Radar transmission safety
The radar scanner transmits electromagnetic energy.
Ensure all personnel are clear of the scanner when
the radar is transmitting.
Checking the radar
1. Select the Radar application.
The Radar scanner will now initialize in standby mode. This
process will take approximately 70 seconds.
2. Press the MENU button.
3. Select Power .
4. Select the On option.
5. Select Radar .
6. Select the Transmit option.
The radar scanner should now be transmitting and receiving.
7. Check that the radar screen is operating correctly.
Typical HD digital radar screen
Note: The example above is representative of the enhanced
output provided by a HD digital radar scanner.
Points to check:
• Radar sweep with echo responses are shown on screen.
• Radar status icon rotating in top right hand corner.
Check and adjust bearing alignment
Bearing alignment
The radar bearing alignment ensures that radar objects appear at
the correct bearing relative to your boat’s bow. You should check
the bearing alignment for any new installation.

Item Description
1 Target object (such as a buoy) dead ahead.
2 Target displayed on the radar display is not aligned with the
Ship’s Heading Marker (SHM). Bearing alignment is required.
Checking the bearing alignment
1. With your vessel under way: Align the bow with a stationary
object identified on the radar display An object between 1 & 2
NM distant is ideal.
2. Note the position of the object on the radar display. If the target
is not under the ships heading marker (SHM), there is an
