20 RC400 GPS Chartplotter
Checking Chartplotter Operation
To confirm that the chartplotter is operating correctly, perform the
following checks:
1. Press the trackpad left/right, up/down and check cursor movement
and normal scrolling action.
2. Insert a Navionics Gold Chart
®
card for the area of your vessel.
You are asked to select one to use (See Select Chart on page 41)
3. Use the RANGE IN key to zoom-in and check that the new chart car-
tridge data is displayed.
4. Ensure that position data is available; use the FIND SHIP function to
check that the cursor is fixed on the vessel symbol which is correctly
positioned at the center of the chart display, see Chapter 5:Operation.
EMC Conformance
Always check the installation before going to sea to make sure that it is
not affected by radio transmissions, engine starting, etc.
GPS Reception
The RC400 must be used outdoors to ensure proper GPS signal
reception. The internal antenna may not be able to obtain a fix if the unit
is operated indoors or below decks.
The RC400 may require several minutes to obtain a GPS fix the first time
you power up.
