1 Complete an action, based on the location of the transducer: • If the transducer is installed at the water line À, measure the distance from the transducer location to the keel of the boat. Enter this value in steps 3 and 4 as a positive number. • If the transducer is installed at the bottom of the keel Á, measure the distance from the transducer to the water line. Enter this value in steps 3 and 4 as a negative number. 2 Select Settings > My Vessel > Keel Offset. 3 Select or based on the location of the transducer. 4 Enter the distance measured in step 1. Setting the Water Temperature Offset Before you can set the water temperature offset, you must have a NMEA 0183 water-temperature sensor or a temperaturecapable transducer to measure water temperature. The temperature offset compensates for the temperature reading from a temperature sensor. 1 Measure the water temperature using the temperature sensor or temperature-capable transducer that is connected to the chartplotter. 2 Measure the water temperature using a different temperature sensor or a thermometer that is known to be accurate. 3 Subtract the water temperature measured in step 1 from the water temperature measured in step 2. This is the temperature offset. Enter this value in step 5 as a positive number if the sensor connected to the chartplotter measures the water temperature as being colder than it actually is. Enter this value in step 5 as a negative number if the sensor connected to the chartplotter measures the water temperature as being warmer than it actually is. 4 Select Settings > My Vessel > Temperature Offset. 5 Enter the temperature offset calculated in step 3. Calibrating a Water Speed Device If you have a speed-sensing transducer connected to the chartplotter, you can calibrate that speed-sensing device to improve the accuracy of water-speed data displayed by the chartplotter. 1 Select Settings > My Vessel > Calibrate Water Speed. 2 Follow the on-screen instructions. If the boat is not moving fast enough or the speed sensor is not registering a speed, a message appears. 3 Select OK, and safely increase the boat speed. 4 If the message appears again, stop the boat, and ensure the speed-sensor wheel is not stuck. 5 If the wheel turns freely, check the cable connections. 6 If you continue to get the message, contact Garmin product support. Adding a Key You can add keys to the system. The system can have up to four keys, which are numbered from 1 to 4. 1 Select Settings > My Vessel > e-KEY Management > Add e-KEY. 2 When prompted, hold the new key in front of the panel. The system will store the key ID. Setting the Speed Factor Before you can set the speed factor, you must compare the displayed vessel speed with an external data source for speed, such as GPS or another vessel. Before you can set the speed factor, the vessel must be under way. 1 Select Settings > My Vessel > Speed Factor. 2 Enter the difference between the displayed speed and the external data. 3 Verify that the two speed sources are displaying the same value. Fuel Tank Settings Select Settings > My Vessel > Fuel Tank, and select a driveline. For more information, refer to the Volvo Penta manual. Volume: Sets the fuel capacity of this fuel tank on your vessel. Empty Fuel Tank Calibration: Calibrates the empty tank level. Multipoint Calibration: Calibrates various fuel levels between empty and full. Full Tank Calibration: Calibrates the full tank level. Other Vessels Settings When your compatible chartplotter is connected to an AIS device or VHF radio, you can set up how other vessels are displayed on the chartplotter. Select Settings > Other Vessels. AIS: Enables and disables AIS signal reception. DSC: Enables and disables digital selective calling (DSC). Collision Alarm: Sets the collision alarm (page 5). AIS-EPIRB Test: Enables test signals from Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacons (EPRIB). AIS-MOB Test: Enables test signals from man overboard (MOB) devices. AIS-SART Test: Enables test transmissions from Search and Rescue Transponders (SART). Restoring the Original Chartplotter Factory Settings NOTE: This will delete all settings information you have entered. Select Settings > System > System Information > Factory Settings > Reset. Chartplotter Data Management Copying Waypoints, Routes, and Tracks to a Chartplotter Before you can copy data to the chartplotter, you must have the latest version of MapSource® or HomePort™ software programs loaded on your computer and a memory card installed in the chartplotter. Select an option: • Copy the data from HomePort to the prepared memory card. For more information, see the HomePort help file. • Copy the data from MapSource to the prepared memory card. For more information, see the MapSource help file. 26 Chartplotter Data Management
