DO NOT try to force the card into position as this may result in irreparable damage to the card. CAUTION: Water Ingress To prevent the ingress of water and consequent damage to the display, ensure that the chart card door is firmly closed at all times. This can be confirmed by an audible click. CAUTION: Card Removal DO NOT use a metallic instrument such as a screwdriver or pliers to help you remove a card, as doing this can cause irreparable damage. CAUTION: Card writing CompactFlash cards can be damaged if they are removed from the unit during either a read or write operation. A warning is displayed during write operations. The unit is continually reading the card. It is therefore essential that before removing the card you follow the correct procedure to stop access to the card. What are CompactFlash cards used for? CompactFlash cards enable you to get the most from your display. Their uses include: · Detailed cartographic information Obtain detailed cartographic information of the area that you navigate using Navionics® chart cards. To check the current availability of Navionics chart card types, please visit www.navionics.com or www.navionics.it. The amount of cartographic detail shown varies for different areas and for different scales. The chart scale in use is indicated in the status bar - the number represents the distance in nautical miles from the top of the chart window to the bottom of the chart window. · Archiving To archive waypoints, routes and tracks. · Saving To save waypoint, route and track data for use by other equipment e.g. a PC. You can remove and insert cards while a chart is displayed provided that you follow the correct procedure (see page 20). The chart information is retained on-screen until the chartplotter redraws the screen; for example, when you pan outside the current area, or use the RANGE button to change the chart scale. Note: In a networked system, cartographic data is available to any E-Series display connected on the SeaTalk High Speed network. However, the ARCHIVE and TRANSFER functions only operate with the card inserted in the display at which you are working. 20 E-Series Networked Display Reference Manual Inserting a card To insert a card, refer to the illustration and: 1.
