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 18). 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. 18 C-Series Display Reference Manual Inserting a card To insert a card, refer to the illustration and: 1. Check that you are using the correct type of card (see Important Information, at the beginning of this manual). 2. Open the chart card door, located on the front left of the display. 3.

Writing/retrieving data to a CompactFlash card Your display can save up to 1,000 waypoints, 100 routes and 10 tracks in data base lists. Once this number is reached you will need to archive data to a CompactFlash card for safe-keeping or retrieval at a later date. Alternatively, you can transfer data to another instrument or PC using NMEA. When navigation is active, you can also receive waypoints, routes and tracks from a PC, SeaTalk and NMEA instruments (see page 22). Saving information to a card Important: Raymarine strongly recommend that you save data to a separate CompactFlash card and not to a Navionics card containing cartography. 1.
