To make it easier to locate on screen, the cursor
changes to a circle with a cross in it, when it is moved
after a 10 second period of inactivity.
The cursor is context-sensitive. When it is placed over an object e.g. a waypoint or chart feature, it
changes color and a label or information associated with the object is displayed. When you place
the cursor over certain items, the soft keys change to enable you to access related operations.

How do I change the chart orientation?
The orientation of the chart refers to the relationship between the chart and the direction you are travelling
in. It is used in conjunction with motion mode (see below) to control how your boat and chart relate to one
another and how they are displayed on screen. The default mode is North Up (N-UP). This displays your
chart with true north upwards. As your heading changes the boat symbol moves accordingly.
If desired, you can change the orientation mode to:
Head Up (H-Up) - displays chart with boat's current heading
upwards. As heading changes, boat symbol remains fixed
Course Up (C-Up) - chart picture stabilized, current course
upwards. Boat symbol moves as heading changes.

How do I change how my boat moves on the chart?
How your boat moves on the screen is referred to as the motion mode. The default setting for the chart is
Relative Motion. This means that your boat is fixed on the screen and the chart moves relative to your
boat i.e.
If desired, you can change the motion mode to:
True (TM) - the chart is fixed and the boat moves in true perspective to fixed landmasses on the screen.
Autorange (AR) - selects and maintains the largest possible scale of chart that will display both the boat
and the target waypoint This option is not available when radar/chart synchronization is ON.
To change the orientation mode:
NOTE: When you pan the chart or

What is a waypoint?
A waypoint is a position marked on a chart, radar or fishfinder screen to
indicate a site (for fishing, diving etc), or as a position to go to. You can
place a waypoint at the cursor or your boat's position or at a specified
position. Waypoints are represented in chart or radar applications as an
'X' (default) and by a vertical line labeled WPT in Fishfinder. Active
waypoints are displayed on 3D Chart and CDI windows. The details of
each waypoint are stored in a waypoint list. Waypoints can be renamed,
edited, grouped, or erased, as necessary. To make full use of waypoint
features, ensure your display is receiving heading and position data. We
recommend that you regularly back-up your waypoints by archiving them
to a CompactFlash card. Waypoints can also be transferred to another
NMEA compatible instrument.
Waypoint

If you have networked two or more
E-Series Displays, the waypoints are

Typically your boat's position is at the centre of the display, and its dead ahead bearing is indicated by a vertical
heading line, known as the Ship's Heading Marker (SHM).
Remember that the radar picture may vary from visual observations that you make; a nearby small object may
appear the same size on the screen as a distant large object. However, with experience the approximate size of
different objects can be determined by the relative size and brightness of the echoes.

What is MARPA?
Mini Automatic Radar Plotting Aid (MARPA) functions are used for target tracking and risk analysis. MARPA
improves your standards of collision avoidance by obtaining detailed information for up to 10 targets, and provides
continuous and rapid situation evaluation.
MARPA tracks the selected targets and calculates target bearing, range, true speed, course, Closest Point of
Approach (CPA), and Time to Closest Point of Approach (TCPA). Each tracked target can be displayed with a CPA
graphic depicting the approximate target speed (vector length) and course (vector direction). Alternatively, move
the cursor over the target to display the range and CPA. You can now access bearing and speed. Each target is
continually assessed. An alarm sounds if a target becomes dangerous or lost.
NOTE: For MARPA to operate, fast heading data is required.

What is AIS?
AIS target symbols
AIS uses digital radio signals to broadcast ‘realtime’
information between vessels and shore based stations
via dedicated VHF frequencies. This information is used
to identify and track vessels in the surrounding area and
to provide collision avoidance data. AIS will augment
your radar application, as it can operate in radar blind
spots.
In order to use the AIS feature, you will need a GPS and
compass for timing and position information together
with data from a suitable AIS receiver.

How is AIS data displayed?
Uncertain target
Calculated CPA/TCPA value uncertain.
The AIS system displays other AIS equipped vessels in
the surrounding area as targets overlaid on a chart or
radar window. Up to 100 targets are displayed and are
scaled according to the size of the vessel. A vector
indicates the direction of travel of the vessel. As the
vessel’s status changes, the symbol for the target will
change accordingly.
You can view detailed AIS data, safety critical target
information, Alarm message (ALR) and Safety Related
Message (SRM) messages. You can also set up a safe
zone.
Lost target
When signal of a dangerous AIS
target not received for 10 seconds.

direction as appropriate.

WARNING:
Smaller vessels do not have to be
fitted with AIS and whilst it is

mandatory for larger commercial
vessels to carry AIS, its use is not. You
should not assume that your AIS will
display ALL vessels in your area.

Where am I?
Monitoring a course....
Card 17
How do I monitor my course?....
Your course is shown on the chart application whilst motion mode is active.
Using COG and heading vectors (Press DATA - CHART VECTORS - COG/HDG VECTORS).
Use the Course Deviation Indicator (CDI). With your display receiving accurate heading and position
information, you can monitor your course and accurately steer to a target waypoint.
What does the CDI show me?....
The CDI gives a graphical representation of your boat's course. This 'rolling road' format represents a width
of sea equal to the Cross Track Error (XTE) limits that you have specified in the Setup menu. As you travel
towards the target waypoint, the checkered pattern moves down the screen to simulate movement at a rate
proportional to your boat's speed.

Card 18
What's under the boat?
The fishfinder application, when connected to a suitable Digital Sounder Module (DSM) and transducer, will help
you to see fish, bottom structure and underwater obstructions. The image scrolls from right to left at an
automatically selected range and frequency to provide a record of the echoes seen. You can mark with a waypoint
any positions of interest that you may wish to return to. These waypoints are added to the waypoint list and can be
used by other applications.

Dark layers indicate strong signals; lighter layers weaker signals.
What influences target display?
The shape and size of echoes indicating targets, is influenced by a combination of:
Boat speed - flatter at slower speeds
Target depth - larger near the surface
Transducer frequency - broader at lower frequencies
Target size - larger targets return larger echoes

The colors displayed represent the strength of the echoes received from targets. For most targets the echo strength
is closely related to their size. Colors also help to distinguish targets within Clutter. Normally, targets will be
displayed as a stronger color than the surrounding clutter. For example, a Buoy with a radar reflector will show
clearly in sea clutter.

The Radar application window allows you to select 4 user configurable preset modes, Buoy, Harbour, Coastal &

Operating a networked E-Series Display
Card 25
What does a networked system do?
If you have connected two or more E-Series Displays (via either a crossover coupler or SeaTalk High Speed
Switch), all system data (from NMEA 0183, SeaTalk, SeaTalk2, NMEA 2000, SeaTalkhs waypoints, routes etc)
can be transferred across the network enabling you to input, view and maintain data across all your displays
irrespective of the Display from which the data originated (excepting Video Input).
How is the network controlled?
The display that has been installed and nominated as the master, should always be switched on (preferably
first). The master display maintains the waypoint, route and track lists as well as data from NMEA and
SeaTalk. Each time the master display detects a change on any display e.g. waypoint, route or track added or
edited, the data is copied to the database which in turn is copied to all other Displays that are switched on.
If the system does not detect a master, either because it is not switched on or because a master has not been
selected, an alarm will sound and you will be prompted to set a master display.
How do I change the master display?
