Furuno 1712 Manual De Usuario

 

 

You have mounted the antenna unit facing 
straight ahead in the direction of the bow. 
Therefore, a small but conspicuous target dead 
ahead visually should appear on the heading 
mark (zero degrees). 

In practice, you will probably observe some 
small error on the display because of the 
difficulty in achieving accurate initial positioning 
of the antenna unit. The following adjustment 
will compensate for this error, up to ±30 
degrees. 

1.  Identify a suitable target (for example, ship 

or buoy) at a range between 0.125 to 0.25 
miles, preferably near the heading mark. 
To minimize error, keep echoes in the 
outer half of the picture by changing the 
range. 

2.  Press and hold down and  together 

(about 10 seconds) to display the 
installation menu.
