ComNav Vector G2 & G2B Installation & Operation
Document PN 29010078 V2.0 - 1 -
DRAFT #3 – 29 May 2009
Welcome
Congratulations on your purchase of a ComNav Marine Vector G2 or Vector G2B GPS
Compass! At ComNav, we are dedicated to reliability & quality in all our products, and the
Vectors are a good example of that. We promise to do our best to ensure your satisfaction
with your new Vector GPS Compass.
ComNav Marine Ltd.
Warranty Notice
Prior to the installation and/or operation of the equipment, ensure that you read, understand,
and accept the conditions of the warranties as detailed in the
Warranty Information section of
this manual.
General Notice
This document, ComNav part number 29010078 Version 2 Revision 0, is the approved
Installation and Operation Manual for use with Vector G2 & G2B GPS Compasses. Where
versions of this manual exist in other languages, the English version shall be considered
authoritative.
Special Note
This manual applies primarily to the third generation of the Vector G2 & G2Bs.
A Vector’s generation can be determined by the initial 4 digits of its serial number, which are
a “date code” identifying the year and week it was manufactured. The serial number is on the
label on the underside of the enclosure.
This third generation’s date codes are 0902, or later.
The second generation began at date code 0722 and finished at 0850. For that generation,
please refer to any of revisions 1.4 through 1.6 of this manual, and Addendum #1.
It should be noted that much of the information in this manual can
be used with the later half
of the second generation (date codes 0802 through 0850) – as long as some care is used,
since a few features of the second generation differ from the third generation’s. For details,
see page 89.
The first ge
ne
ration had date codes of 0721 or earlier. For that generation, please refer to
revision 1.2 of this manual.

ComNav Vector G2 & G2B Installation & Operation
Document PN 29010078 V2.0 - 3 -
DRAFT #3 – 29 May 2009
About this Manual
This manual provides essential information for the safe and reliable operation of the ComNav
Vector G2 GPS Compass. You are urged to read this manual in its entirety before you use
your GPS Compass for the first time, and to keep it handy until you become thoroughly
familiar with the operation of the compass.
Note: most of the information in this manual applies to both models of
the Vector G2 GPS Compasses: the Vector G2 and the Vector G2B.
For easier reading, most references in the text use “G2” – but that
should always be understood as referring to both models. Whenever
a particular item applies only to the G2 or the G2B, it will be so stated
in the text of that item.
When using this manual with the Vector G2, please ignore the
sections which discuss Radiobeacon signals, Beacon receiver
operation and related installation details. Those sections apply only
to the G2B.
Manual Format
This manual has been formatted to be printed on both sides of the pages of the manual, and
on standard Letter-sized paper (8.5” x 11”).
If you have obtained this manual as a soft-copy, please note that it is in Adobe® Portable
Document Format (“pdf”), and so may be viewed & printed with Adobe Reader®, or
compatible pdf-format viewers.
When printing this manual with Reader, you should select “duplex printing” (or the equivalent
term used by your printer’s software driver), in order to print it double-sided on the paper. If
your printer does not have built-in duplexing capability, you can still print this manual
double-sided by following the instructions that came with your printer for doing “hand
duplexing”.
You should also select the Auto-Rotate and Centre
option in the Print Dialog box, de-select
the Choose Paper Source by PDF page size
option; as well, you should set Page Scaling to
None – Reader’s default setting is Shrink to Printable Area, and is printer-dependant (usually
set at ~97%), but that is not needed here.
