Press and release the Power key.
Turning Off the Chartplotter
Press and hold the Power key.
Initial Chartplotter Settings
The rst time you turn on the chartplotter, you must congure a series of initial settings. These
settings must also be congured when restoring original factory settings (page 116). Each of these
settings can be updated later. Follow the on-screen directions.
NOTE: To calibrate the water speed, you must have a speed-capable transducer connected to a
GSD
™
22 or a NMEA 0183-capable water-speed sensor.
GPS Satellite Signal Acquisition
When you turn on the chartplotter, the GPS receiver must collect satellite data and establish the
current location. When the chartplotter acquires satellite signals, the signal strength bars at the
top of the Home screen are green . When the chartplotter loses satellite signals, the green bars
disappear and a ashing question mark appears on the boat icon on the chart screen.
