Chapter 2:
Getting Started & Adjusting the Display
2.1 Introduction
This chapter provides information, instructions and a simple exercise to
get you started using the HSB Series Chartplotter display unit. It also
provides some typical scenarios that guide you through the common
chartplotter functions. This chapter will help you to become familiar with
the controls before you start using the chartplotter for routine navigation.
There is often more than one method of performing a particular task.
The scenarios show you one method; other methods are described in
the full operating details in Chapters 3 and 4. When you become familiar
with the system you can choose the method that suits you best.
If you have a combined Radar/Chartplotter, refer to the
HSB Series
Radar Handbook
for information on power-up and on using the radar
functions.
Conventions Used
Throughout this handbook, the dedicated (labelled) keys are shown in
bold capitals; for example, MENU. The soft key functions and options
are shown in normal capitals; for example, SCREEN.
Operating procedures, which may consist of a single key-press or a
sequence of numbered steps, are indicated by a
➤
symbol in the
margin. When the procedure requires you to press a soft key, the soft
key icon is shown in the margin.
Simulator
The Chartplotter display includes a
simulator
mode, which allows you to
practice operating your chartplotter without data from a GPS system.
You will need to use the set up options to switch the display to simulator
mode, as described in
Section 2.2 Switching the Display Unit On/Off
.
You can use it in either of two ways:
• Before the chartplotter has been installed on your vessel. In this case,
you only need to connect the Chartplotter display to a 12V or 24V DC
power supply, connecting the red core from the power lead to positive
(+) and the black core to negative (-); see Chapter 6 for full details.
• After the chartplotter has been installed on your vessel, but while in
the marina or at anchor.
