CLEANING PROCEDURE FOR THE GPS CHART PLOTTER SCREEN Cleaning of the chart plotter screen is a very important operation and must be done carefully. Since the surface is covered by a antireflective coating, the procedure for cleaning all the surfaces can be performed using the following procedure: You need a tissue or lens tissue and a cleaning spray (Windex) containing Isopropanol (a normal spray cleaner sold for the PC screen, for example PolaClear by Polaroid). Fold the tissue or lens tissue into a triangular shape, moisten the tip and use the index finger behind a corner to move the tissue across the surface, in overlapping side to side strokes. If the tissue is too wet, a noticeable wet film will be left in its path and you will need to repeat the process. If too dry, the tissue won't glide easily, and may damage the surface.

GETTING STARTED NOTE Throughout this Owner's Manual same conventions are used. See the legend below: [MENU]If you see brackets around a bold and capital letter word this refers to a key press. [CHART] If you see brackets around a bold and small capital letter word this refers to a Soft Key press. GENERAL SETUP When a word(s) is bold capital letters and underlined, this refers to a menu selection item. 2.0 MOUNTING THE GPS CHART PLOTTER The CP180 and CP300 are supplied with hardware for bracket or flush mounting, the CP180i and CP300i are is supplied with the hardware for bracket mounting due to the internal design of the GPS antenna. Below are pictures showing actual examples of the two types of installation. NOTE The GPS Chart Plotter with internal GPS antenna is designed to be bracket mounted only. Do not flush mount or GPS performance may be dramatically reduced or not receive a fix. 2.1 BRACKET MOUNTING The CP180/CP180i and CP300/CP300i can be mounted using the supplied swivel mounting bracket. Before installing ensure the area the bracket is mounted to is strong enough to support the weight of the GPS Chart Plotter especially while under way. After the location is found, attach the mounting base to the area using the supplied hardware. Figure 2.1 - Example of Bracket installation (CP180i on the left side and CP300i on the right side) GPS Chart Plotters Page 13 2.2 CP180 AND CP300 FLUSH MOUNTING The CP180 and CP300 are supplied with a flush mount template for the cutout hole and screw holes required to install the GPS Chart Plotter. NOTE Before drilling holes make sure there is enough room to mount the GPS Chart Plotter and there are no obstructions. 1. After a location is found, peel the template label from the backing and apply the label to the mounting area. 2. Drill a hole in one area of the cutout area that will allow the blade of a jig saw to be inserted. Insert and cut out the area on the panel using the jig saw. 3. Next drill the four holes required to insert the GPS Chart Plotter with the mounting studs. 4. Install the mounting studs on the GPS Chart Plotter and insert into the mounting hole. 5. Attach the GPS Chart Plotter to the mounting location by attaching the supplied hardware to the mounting studs. Figure 2.2 - Example of Flush installation (CP180 on the left side and CP300 on the right side) 2.3 MOUNTING THE CP180 OR THE CP300 EXTERNAL GPS ANTENNA The CP180 and CP300 are supplied with a external GPS WAAS antenna with 30 feet of routing cable. This antenna is designed to be mounted on a base, installed on an extension or even flush mounted. Page 14 GPS Chart Plotters Choose a location for the antenna that has a clear view of the sky and is not located within 3 FT of Radar or other transmitting antennas. Ensure there are no major obstructions or fixtures in the immediate proximity to the antenna. The antenna relies on direct "line of sight" satellite reception. If you are unsure of the chosen location, temporarily mount the antenna in the desired location to verify correct operation. If mounted close to Radar, after the GPS Chart Plotter has a fix, turn on the Radar to ensure the GPS Chart Plotter holds the fix (use the GPS Status Page). The thread used on the antenna is an industry standard (1inch 14TPI) used on a wide range of mounting brackets. Due to the manufacturing process of these mounting brackets, the antenna may not tighten all the way down onto all the threads. This is no concern however as the antenna must be tightened until the antenna stops rotating. NOTE The antenna cable can be cut and spliced to ease installation. Care must be taken when reconnecting the antenna cable to protect from water and corrosion. 2.3.0 Flush mounting the antenna NOTE Before drilling holes, it is recommended the antenna be positioned where the location is planned, cable connected to the GPS Chart Plotter and power turned on to ensure a GPS Fix is received. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Remove the threaded base from the antenna dome. To ease installation a flush mounting template for the antenna has been included. Apply the mounting template sticker to the area that was verified for GPS reception. Then, drill out the 0.63" (16mm) and 0.16" (4mm) holes, and remove the template. Insert the cable into the 0.63" (16mm) hole and route to the GPS Chart Plotter. Apply a small amount or RTV to the under side of the antenna. Place the antenna and then screw it into place using the screws. NOTE In some cases the screw may not be long enough, if this happens simply apply more RTV to the underside of the antenna to glue it into place.
