can be upgraded to include optional Fishfinder functionality. This handbook contains important information on the operation of your A65 GPS Chartplotter. To get the best results in operation and performance, please take the time to read it thoroughly. For full details of installation and system integration, please refer to the Installation Manual supplied with the display. Safety Notices WARNING: Navigation Aid This device is intended to be used as an aid to navigation. Its accuracy can be affected by many factors, including equipment failure or defects, environmental conditions and incorrect handling or use. It is the user's responsibility to exercise common prudence and navigational judgement. This device should not be relied upon as a substitute for such prudence and judgement. CAUTION: Water Ingress To prevent the ingress of water and consequent damage to the display, ensure that the chart card door is firmly closed. This can be confirmed by an audible click. CAUTION: CompactFlash (CF) Cards · When installing CF cards ensure that the card is inserted in the correct orientation. Do not try to force the card into position as this may result in irreparable damage to the card and/or reader. · Removing the CF card while information is being written to or read from it may cause damage to the card and loss of all data. · Do not save data (waypoints, etc.) to a Navionics card as the charts may be overwritten. When archiving use a separate SanDisk CompactFlash card. · Do not use a metallic instrument such as a screwdriver or pliers to help you remove a card. This can cause irreparable damage. 8 A65 GPS Chartplotter CAUTION: Global Positioning System Antenna Do not connect or disconnect the GPS antenna from the display unit while power is switched on. Doing this may result in irreparable damage. Electronic Chart Cards To use your A65 display as a navigation aid, charts with the appropriate level of detail for the geographic area you wish to navigate are required. The charts are available an electronic format on Navionics® CompactFlash® (CF) Chart cards. The A65 is compatible with both Navionics Gold and Silver Chart cards. To obtain Navionics Chart cards, contact your local dealer or visit www.navionics.com or www.navionics.it. Anywhere in North America call Navionics toll-free at 1-800-848-5896. Outside of North America, contact your local dealer or Navionics SpA at (+39) 0584 961696. When saving (archiving) data, Raymarine recommends that you only use SanDisk® CompactFlash cards. Other makes of cards may not work in your A65 display. Technical Accuracy The technical and graphical information contained in this handbook, to the best of our knowledge, was correct as it went to press. However, the Raymarine policy of continuous improvement and updating may change product specifications without prior notice. As a result, unavoidable differences between the product and handbook may occur from time to time.

The A65 comes equipped with a 6.5" TFT 256 Color Sunlight Viewable Color LCD and RS12 GPS Sensor. ENTER CANCEL RANGE PAGE ACTIVE WPTS MOB DATA PWR MENU D7 71 41 1.1 System Overview The A65 features the following applications: · Chartplotter for navigation information, waypoint entry and route-planning. For full functionality, the display requires connection to the RS12 GPS sensor (included) for the acquisition of position data. This application also requires a relevant chart card to obtain detailed information for the area in which you are navigating. Optionally, you may connect a compass via the NMEA port for heading data. · Fishfinder to build a picture of what is below your vessel, display bottom structure and to help find and identify targets such as fish and wrecks. This application also requires an optional DSM25 Digital Sounder Module and a suitable transducer. Also available are various data screens that are displayed in separate split screen windows alongside the Chart and Fishfinder applications: · Nav Data for viewing position information as well as current time, date and depth information. 10 A65 GPS Chartplotter Note: The A65 sets its internal clock from the GPS. Therefore, time of day is not available until a GPS fix is acquired. After this initial fix, the A65 continues to update its internally stored time of day, even if GPS fix is lost. Upon power down, however, time of day is lost. · Temp Graph for plotting water temperature readings from the transducer over the past 60 minutes, current water temperature, Speed Over Ground, battery voltage and a trip log. · CDI for viewing the Course Deviation Indicator to help maintain your course using a `rolling road' display. A built-in simulator lets you practice using the display and its functions without connection to external devices (GPS antenna or a DSM). Powering the Display ON/OFF Power ON PWR Press the PWR key until the unit beeps. The unit starts up in the last-used display configuration. Power OFF Press and hold the PWR key. The Power Down screen is displayed and the system counts down. When it reaches zero the display and key backlights are extinguished. If the PWR key is released within the countdown period, power off is cancelled. Note: All non-sounder setting changes (except Brightness and Relative Motion) are retained when the unit is powered off using the PWR key. However, there is a one-minute delay from the time you make the setting change to when the A65 places it in memory. If power is removed from the unit without using the PWR key less than one minute after making a change, the setting is lost. Adjusting the Display Lighting You can manually adjust the backlight level: PWR 1. Press and release the PWR key. The Brightness soft key appears. 2. Use the left/right trackpad keys or rotary knob to adjust the backlight level. Choose from 5 to 100%, in 5% increments. The level is adjusted immediately. 3. Press CANCEL to return to the normal display screen. Note: The Brightness setting is returned to 100% at power-on.

As you travel towards the target waypoint, the checkered pattern and the waypoint will move down the screen at a rate proportional to your boat's speed. The steering instructions below the rolling road tell you what correction is needed to maintain your course and arrive at the target waypoint. Indication arrows are placed either side of the steering instruction, pointing towards the center line. The greater the error the more arrows that appear. Correct your course by steering in the direction indicated by the arrows. If your boat is off track to the degree that it would not be displayed within the rolling road, the boat icon flashes.
