C-MAP electronic charts (ECs) are derived from
geographical data -including official government
charts - which we believe to be accurate.They are
neither verified nor approved by Hydrographic
Authorities. C-MAP ECs are designed only to ease
and speed navigation calculations and so must not
be relied upon as aprimary source of navigation
information, but rather a backup to the use of
official government charts and prudent navigation
habits.
There is no direct relationship between the color
of water areas and their depth. The navigator shall
always query the area for depth information and use
the official paper charts.
WARNING
Start-up sequence
Note 1: The example screens shown in this manual may not match the screens
you see on your display. The screen you see depends on your system
configuration and equipment settings.
Note 2: If the message “SYSTEM HAS FAILED START UP TEST. PLEASE
CONTACT A LOCAL FURUNO REPRESENTATIVE FOR REPAIR.
PRESS ANY KEY TO CONTINUE.” appears, contact your dealer for
advice.
Note 3: At the very first time you turn on your unit, the simulation mode window
appears. Choose YES or NO as appropriate and push the [ENTER]
knob.
The equipment takes 90 seconds to find its position when turned on for the very
first time. Thereafter it takes about 12 seconds to find position each time the
power is turned on. The message “NO FIX”, which means the equipment is now
finding its position, appears at the bottom of the plotter display immediately after
turning the power on. When the GPS receiver finds its position, “NO FIX”
changes to “2D” or “3D” to show that position data is now accurate.
Turning the power off

4. WAYPOINT
In navigation terminology, a waypoint is a particular location on a voyage
whether it be a starting, intermediate or destination point. A waypoint is the
simplest piece of information your equipment requires to get you to a destination,
in the shortest distance possible.
This unit has 2,000 waypoints into which you can enter position information. You
may enter a waypoint four ways: at own ship position, by cursor, at MOB position
(see chapter 1) and through the waypoint list (manual input of latitude and
longitude).
4.1 Entering Waypoints
4.1.1 Entering a waypoint at own ship position or cursor position

COMPUTE CORRECTION
Corrects the GPS antenna position.
After placing the cursor at the own
ship’s true position, select this item.
CORRECTION OFFSET
Corrects the GPS antenna position
manually. Enter the longitude and
latitude numeric data of own ship’s true
position.
POSITION FILTER
When the DOP or receiving condition is
unfavorable, the GPS fix may change,
even if the vessel is dead in water. This
change can be reduced by smoothing
the raw GPS fixes. You can choose the
setting from among Off, Low, Medium
and High. The higher the setting, the
more smoothed the raw data, however
too high a setting slows response time
to change in latitude and longitude.
This is especially noticeable at high
ship’s speeds. Off is normal setting;
increase the setting if the GPS fix
changes.
SPEED FILTER
During position fixing, ship’s velocity
(speed) is directly measured by
receiving GPS satellite signals. The
raw velocity data may change
randomly depending on receiving
conditions and other factors. You can
reduce this random variation by
increasing the filter setting. Like with
latitude and longitude filter, the higher
the speed filter the more smoothed the
raw data. If the setting is too high,
however, the response to speed and
course change slows. For no
smoothing, choose Off. (Off, Low,
Medium, High)

BEARING
Choose how to calculate range and bearing, Mag or
True. True bearing is a bearing measured using true
North as the reference direction, and it is calculated by
the formula True Bearing = Magnetic Bearing -Magnetic
Variation. Magnetic bearings are measured with magnetic
north as the reference direction. Select Mag when using
a magnetic compass, True when using a gyrocompass.
VARIATION
The location of the magnetic north pole is different from
the geographical north pole. This causes a difference
between the true and magnetic north location. This
difference is called magnetic variation, and varies with
respect to the observation point on earth. Your unit is
preprogrammed with all the earth’s magnetic variations.
However, you may wish to enter variation manually to
refine accuracy by entering the magnetic variation
referring to a nautical chart.
CALIBRATION
Offsets latitude/longitude position to further refine
position accuracy. This table is used to match magnetic
value on the plotter with the readout of compass.

10. VIDEO SOUNDER OPERATION
This chapter covers video sounder operation. The procedures in this chapter
assume that a full screen video sounder display is selected.
Principle of Operation
The video sounder determines the distance between its transducer and
underwater objects such as fish, lake bottom or seabed and displays the results
on screen. It does this by utilizing the fact that an ultrasonic wave transmitted
through water travels at a nearly constant speed of 4900 feet (1500 meters) per
second. When a sound wave is reflected back toward the source (transducer).
Thus by calculating the time difference between the transmission of a sound
wave and the reception of the reflected sound wave, the depth to the object can
be determined.
The entire process begins in the sounder. Transmitter power is sent to the
transducer as a short pulse of electrical energy. The electrical signal produced
by the transmitter is converted into an ultrasonic signal by the transducer and
transmitted into the water. Any returning signals from intervening objects (such
as a fish school) are received by the transducer and converted into an electrical
signal. The signals are then amplified in the amplifier section, and finally,
displayed on screen.
The picture displayed is made up of a series of vertical scan lines, one for each
transmission. Each line represents a snapshot of what has occurred beneath the
boat. A series of snapshots are accumulating side by side across the screen,
and the resulting contours of the bottom and fish between the bottom and
surface are displayed.

Indications on the single frequency display
Single frequency
50 kHz picture
The sounder uses ultrasonic pulses to detect bottom conditions. The lower the
frequency of the pulse, the wider the detection area. Therefore, the low
frequency is useful for general detection and judging bottom condition.
200 kHz picture
The higher the frequency of the ultrasonic pulse the better the resolution.
Therefore, the high frequency is ideal for detailed observation of fish school.

10.2 Automatic Sounder Operation
Automatic sounder operation is useful when you are preoccupied with other
tasks and do not have the time to adjust the display.
10.2.1 How the automatic sounder works
The automatic sounder function automatically selects the proper gain, range
scale and clutter suppression level according to the depth. It works as follows.
•
The range changes automatically to locate the bottom on the lower half of the
screen. The range jumps to one step shallower range when the bottom
echoes reach a half way point of the full scale from the top and to one step
deeper range when they come to the lower edge of the scale.
•
The gain is automatically adjusted to display the bottom echo in reddish brown
(default color arrangement).
•
Clutter, which suppresses low level noise, is automatically adjusted.

10.2.2 Types of automatic sounder mode
Two types of automatic sounder modes are available: CRUISE and FISH.
CRUISE is for tracking the bottom, and FISH is for searching fish schools.
CRUISE uses a higher clutter rejection setting than FISH therefore it is not
recommended for fish detection – weak fish echoes may be erased by the clutter
suppression circuit.

Manual operation is useful for observing fish schools and bottom using a fixed
gain setting.
The gain, range and range shift functions used together give you the means to
select the depth you can see on the screen. The basic range can be thought of
as providing a “window” into the water column and range shifting as moving the
“window” to the desired depth.

TVG (50 KHz, 200 kHz)
TVG (Time Varied Gain) compensates for propagation attenuation of the
ultrasonic waves. It does this by equalizing echo presentation so that fish
schools of the same size appear in the same density in both shallow and deep
waters. In addition, it reduces surface noise. Note that if the TVG level is set too
high short range echoes may not be displayed.
10. VIDEO SOUNDER OPERATION
10-23
ECHO OFFSET (50 kHz, 200 kHz)
If the on-screen echo level appears to be too weak or in manual operation too
strong and the level cannot be adjusted satisfactorily with the gain control on the
display unit, adjust echo offset to compensate for too weak or too strong echoes.
BOTTOM LEVEL (50 kHz, 200 kHz)
If the depth indication is unstable in automatic operation or the bottom echo
cannot be displayed in reddish-brown by adjusting the gain control in manual
operation, you may adjust the bottom echo level detection circuit, for both 50
kHz and 200 kHz, to stabilize the indication.
Note: If the BOTTOM LEVEL is set too low, weak echoes may be recognized as
the sea bottom, and the depth indication may be unstable. Reversely, if
the setting is too high, the depth indication will not be displayed.
SMOOTHING
Smoothes echoes to present stable display. The higher the setting the greater
the smoothing.

Bottom profile
A hard and rough bottom appears with a longer tail because it reflects more of
the ultrasonic pulse. Because of their stronger return, shallow echoes appear
wider than deep ones even when all bottom conditions are equal. Also, a longer
bottom tail appears on slopes because of the difference in traveling time at both
edges of the beam angle. In the rugged bottom, echoes are reflected on many
different planes, overlapping to present a 3D effect.

Bottom nature
The nature of the bottom is known from the intensity and length of the bottom tail.
Generally, when observing the bottom nature, the lower sounding frequency is
used, the pulselength is set to long, and the gain setting is not disturbed. In the
hard and craggy bottom, the bottom appears in reddish brown with a long tail. In
the muddy or sandy bottom, the bottom appears less reddish and with a short
tail. However, the bottom with sediment may give a long tail if a low frequency
sounding is used.

Fish schools
Fish quantity
Fish quantity can be estimated to a certain extent from fish echoes on the screen
if fish school size and fish school density are kept in mind.
Fish school size
Usually the size of fish echoes on the screen is proportional to the actual size of
the fish school. However, if two fish echoes appear at different depths with the
same size, the fish school at shallower depth is smaller because the ultrasonic
beam widens as it propagates and a fish school in deep water is displayed
larger.

Fish school density
If two schools appear with the same color at different depth, the one in deeper
water is denser because the ultrasonic wave attenuates as it propagates and the

What is WAAS?
WAAS, available in North America, is a provider in the worldwide SBAS (Satellite Based
Augmentation System) navigation system. An SBAS provider furnishes GPS signal corrections
to SBAS users. Two more SBAS providers are also currently under development, MSAS
(Multi-Functional Satellite Augmentation System) for Japan and EGNOS (Euro Geostationary
Navigation Overlay Service) for Europe. All providers will be compatible with one another, thus
providing “seamless” position fixes to SBAS users.

At the time of this software release, SBAS is still under development. (Providers are expected to
have initial operations capability from the times shown above.) During this developmental period,
which may last for several years, there is no guarantee of the accuracy, integrity, continuity, or
availability of the SBAS signal. Furuno will accept no responsibility for the use of the signal for
other than the above stated purpose. It is the user’s responsibility to exercise common
prudence and navigational judgment while using the SBAS signal in the developmental phase.
Note: This manual uses “WAAS” when referring to any SBAS provider.
