5.4 Setting Up
Your instrument is pre-programmed with factory default settings, which
may or may not be suited to your vessel. Therefore, it is necessary to ini-
tialize the instrument for use with your vessel. This should be done im-
mediately after completion of the installation.
Two sets of setup menus are provided: setup1 and setup2. The setup1
menu provides system parameters and setup2 has user settings.
The procedure for setting up the instruments is mainly the same; the only
difference is the key names. You use the MODE key and the 3rd and 4th
keys from the left to do the setting up.
