3. Press the trackpad top/bottom to increase or decrease the lighting to
one of four levels. You can press and hold the trackpad to change the
setting more rapidly. The lighting level is adjusted as you change the
setting.
4. Press the trackpad right to select the
CONTRAST
control. There are 16
contrast levels. Adjust the setting as for lighting to select the best
viewing level.
5. Press
CLEAR
to return to the chart screen, with the new lighting and
contrast levels retained.
Note:
The CONTRAST and LIGHTS settings are retained when the unit
is powered down. However, if you set the LIGHTS value to less than 60%
brightness, the setting automatically returns to 60% brightness when the
unit is next turned on. This ensures that the screen is not too dim to view.
3.3 Simulator Mode
When simulator mode is started, your initial simulated position is
wherever the cursor was last positioned. To practice using the
chartplotter in a particular chart area, use the trackpad to pan to that area,
then switch simulator
ON
. When in Simulator mode, a flashing
SIM
indication is displayed in the top left hand corner of the chart screen.
Note:
If real position data is available and the simulator is active, simu-
lated data takes precedence. On power-up the simulator defaults to its
previous setting on power-down.
CAUTION: Simulator Mode
Care should be taken to determine the desired mode on power-up.
Simulated data should never be used for navigational purposes.
