Restoring the locations and sizes of the views

If you have used

Docking Views

to rearrange the position and size of your views, you

must use

User Settings

to restore all the views to their default positions.

Context

With the

Docking Views

function you can move and re-size the views in the SN90

presentation. When a complete reorganisation of the view positions and sizes have
been completed , you may wish to restore the SN90 presentation to what it was

before

you changed it.

Procedure

1

On the

Main

menu, select

User Settings

.

2

Select the default settings.

Note

These settings are the default values provided with the Simrad SN90. All current
settings are lost when the default factory settings are applied. There is no "undo".

3

Select

Activate Selected Setting

.

Result

All views are placed back to their original positions and sizes.
