Before going on the water Basic operations Description of the buttons Start : To start the system, simply press the Start button. In MULTI DISPLAY it allows you to start the timer. If the timer is already running, it will synchronize it to the next entire minute downwards. Mode : This button allows to validate your selection in the MENU screen. In MULTI DISPLAY, it allows you to change the type of display. Up / Down : These buttons allows to go up or down in the menu screens. They also allow to increment or decrement the values displayed on the screen. A short press will increment/decrement by 1 unit, a long press will increment/decrement by 5 units. In MULTI DISPLAY the Up button allows you to switch the info of the top part of the screen. In MULTI DISPLAY the Down button allows you to switch the info of the bottom part of the screen. A short press will switch between infos in normal order. A long press will switch between infos in reverse order. Back : This button allows you to go back the precedent screen. After setting a parameter, it will also save it into memory. Stop : This button allows to set the value of the TIMER in MULTI DISPLAY. It also allows to stop the TIMER countdown or the CHRONO. Switching On/Off the : Switching On the shortly to switch on the.. The SOG screen of the MULTI DISPLAY mode appears on your once the welcome screen and the battery level screen have disappeared. 8/42
Screen set as default factory setting in MULTI DISPALY mode The MULTI display mode is the basic mode where all the info concerning the behavior of the boat are readable. Initialization of the GPS engine of your The integrates a GPS module that needs to initialize each time the system starts. Note: Leave the system in vertical position with a clear view of the sky. The may not function indoors and badly in an urban environment due to the poor GPS signal levels in these conditions. The usually starts in less than 5 minutes. The first start can be longer (< 15 min) as it has not got the last correct position. When switching on, the speed info displays 00,0 quickly ---because the does not see enough satellites yet to work properly.4 visible satellites are necessary to the are useful to work properly. As soon as the satellite detection is over, the speed displays 00,0. Your is ready to use. 9/42
Switching off the for 3 sec on : If the has a position fix before it is switched off, then it will keep this position in memory in order to speed up the next initialization. Wait for the 3 bips until you see the switch off screen. Don not release the button before. This process avoids unintentional power off and speeds up the initialization of the system for the next power up. Presentation of the screen : Once powered up, the screen is automatically in the main MULTI DISPLAY menu. The default screen SOG should be displayed to go back to the main menu. Graphical Indication of the comparison between the instantaneous speed and the last 10 seconds speed average. Note : The GPS time is only available once the has synchronized with a minimum of 4 satellites. GPS time only availab le if the is synchronized to the satellites If 00:00 is displayed, it means that it doesn't have time enough to initialize properly. 10/42 % b attery left
Checking the battery level : The battery level is checked in real time. The battery level is display on all screens apart from the MULTI DISPLAY. At power up, a specific screen shows the battery level on the full screen. This screen is also available in MENU \ DEVICE STATUS \ BATT LEVEL. The battery level is displayed on the top right in the MAIN menu. Different sound and visual alarms are programmed for indicating a low battery: 20% battery level. 10% battery level. 05% battery level. The alarm will stop automatically after 30s beeping. When the alarm has triggered, you can also press to stop it. Charge up the if you can. Charging the The battery life of the is about 30 hours for a fully charged battery. Using its mains adapter, 2h30 are sufficient to charge the battery to 95 %. Do not hesitate to charge up your when your battery level gets lower than 25%. To charge the battery, open the weather cap of the connector, plug the mains adapter making sure that the white arrows are aligned. You should hear the «click» once the connectors are mated correctly. The screen switches automatically to charging mode: 11/42

On the water How to use the when sailing : Switch on your device, try to leave the system in vertical position with a clear view of the sky, in order to it find the satellites. You advise you to switch on the the device, 5 minutes before to fix it in your boat. It's not because the device is correctly working where you fixed it on your boat that it has a full visibility to the sky, which helps during the initialization process. Remember to erase the STATS before each sailing session, if you want to check your daily performances onboard. Remember to check the amount of memory used to record your tracks. 10% used memory means that you can still record 13h of tracks at 1s interval. 60% used memory means that you can still record 8h of tracks at 1s interval. You can also change the recording resolution to increase your storage capacity. Note: before sailing, make sure that you will have enough memory to record your tracks. If the memory gets filled up, the system will not erase the previous tracks. It will simply stop recording until you format the memory. Just work with the compass and speed information to sail better. Be sure to have activated the automatic change of display for your preferred screen at the end of the countdown of the timer. Starting a record in automatic mode Check that the CHRONO is set to start automatically at the end of the TIMER and that the record auto mode is on. While in MULTI DISPLAY or RACE SCREEN, press at any time to start a recording. When the system is recording, you will see the following icon In order to close the recording, press. 34/42 at the bottom right angle of the screen.
Man Over Board functionality The offers a MOB functionality. The goal of this functionality is to help you in the case of a MOB incident. The info given will help you go to go back to the geographic location stored when you pressed the MOB buttons. This person in the water will most likely not be at this place anymore due to wind and currents. Therefore, you should always try to keep a visual contact with the person in the water until he/she is back on board. To start the MOB functionality: simultaneously on and for 3 seconds. The position of the is then recorded and the MOB screen appears automatically. This screen gives you the direction and distance to the recorded position. To exit the MOB screen, press 35/42 for 3 seconds.

Precautions of usage and maintenance: Try to keep the in a vertical position in order for the system to have the best reception of the sattellite signals. The GPS antenna is located on the top left part of the case. GPS Antenna Avoid metal objects near the antenna. Avoid leaving the on its screen in order to avoid scratching it. Avoid drops and knocks, specifically on the screen. Do not leave the in direct sunlight behind a windscreen in your car. Rinse the salt off the with fresh water and store it in its protective pouch. Use a soft cloth for cleaning the screen window. Make sure that the weather cap is always in place when on the water in order to avoid corrosion of the connector's pins. Only used the original power adapter to charge the. At the back of your system you will find the following breather. This breather allows to regulate the pressure between the inside of the and the outside. It has a waterproof membrane that lets air through. DO NOT TRY TO TURN OR UNSCREW THIS BREATHER AS IT WILL JEOPARDISE THE WATER PROTECTION OF YOUR SYSTEM. 39/42
