sys sEtuP language Your GP450X supports the following languages; • English • French • Spanish • Italian • Chinese To change the language setting; 1 . From the main menu, select sys sEtuP and then press the ENt key . 2 . Select the laNGuaGE field and press the ENt key . 3 . Use the or keys to select the required language then press the ENt key . 4 . Press the mENu key twice to return to the navigation screen . units of measurement Distance and Speed can be displayed in Nautical Miles/Knots, kilometres/kilometres per hour or statute miles/miles per hour . to change the settings 1 . From the main menu select sys sEtuP and press the ENt key . 2 . Select the uNIts field and press the ENt key . 3 . Choose the distance/speed combination required and press the ENt key . 4 . Press the mENu key twice to return to the navigation screen . time difference (local time), time format The GPS system uses the international time standard UTC based at Greenwich in England . To display local time you need to apply a time offset to the GPS time . Your GP450X can also display time in 12 or 24 hour format . to set local time 1 . From the main menu select sys sEtuP and press the ENt key 2 . Select the tImE dIff field and press the ENt key . 3 . Press the or keys to change the first character to + or – . 4 . Press the key to move the cursor to the right . Use the or keys to change the value of the time offset to suit your local area . e.g. for sydney the offset would be set to + 10:00. NotE: During Daylight Savings time add 1 hour to the normal time offset . 5 . When finished press the ENt key . 6 . The tImE dIsP is highlighted . Press the ENt key . 7 . Choose 12 hour or 24 hour and press the ENt key . 8 . Press the mENu key twice to return to the navigation screen simulator To practice with your GP450X you can select the Simulator mode . This mode provides a simulated operation allowing the unit to function as if it were calculating positions and moving around . All controls will operate normally and you can create Waypoints and follow routes to their destinations . 1 . From the main menu select sys sEtuP and press the ENt key 2 . Select sImulator and press the ENt key . 3 . Select the modE field and press the ENt key . 4 . Choose oN and press the ENt key . The simulation mode is now active . 5 . Select the sPEEd field and press the ENt key 6 . Use the cursor keys to enter a speed that you would like the unit to simulate while following routes . Press the ENt key when done . 7 . Select the coursE field and press the ENt key . 8 . Choose auto or maN and press the ENt key . To automatically simulate routes to chosen destinations you should select auto . 9 . Select lat and press the ENt key . 10 . Use the cursor keys to enter the latitude of your simulation starting position and press the ENt key . 11 . Select loN and press the ENt key . 12 . Use the cursor keys to enter the longitude of your simulation starting position and press the ENt key . 13 . Press the mENu key twice to return to the navigation screen . Press the dIsP key repeatedly until the Plotter screen is displayed . sIm appears in the upper left of the display when the simulator is active . To turn off the simulator, set the simulator modE in step 3 to off . Note the simulator mode will be also be turned off automatically when the unit is switched off . diagnostics The diagnostic test checks rom, ram, data port, beacon receiver, battery, rtc, keyboard and lcd for proper operation . 1 . From the main menu select sys sEtuP and press the ENt key . 2 . Choose tEst and press the ENt key . You will be asked if you are ready to start the test . 3 . Select yEs and press the ENt key to start the test . Turns Simulator ON or OFF . Sets Simulation Speed . Sets Simulation Starting Position . PAGE 20 INSTRUCTION MANUAL GP450X
4 . The GP450X tests rom, ram, data port, beacon receiver, internal battery and rtc . The results are individually displayed as ok or NG (No Good) . 5 . After the equipment has displayed the test results, a beep sounds and the message Push kEy appears at the top right-hand corner . 6 . Press each key one by one . The name of the key pressed momentarily appears at the top right-hand corner if the key is functioning properly . If no key is pressed within around 5 seconds, the GP450X automatically proceeds to the next stage . 7 . The equipment displays the following message to inform you that it is now going to check the lcd . 8 . The lcd is checked and the test is then repeated . 9 . To stop the test, turn off the power . Note 1: DATA2 requires a special connector to check. - - appears as the result when no connector is connected . Note 2: CNT shows the number of times the test has been executed consecutively . PlottEr sEtuP track recording To record a copy of the ships track, the ships position is stored in memory at regular intervals of distance . A shorter distance interval provides more track points and a more detailed log of your track but more memory is used resulting in a shorter storage time . When the track memory becomes full, the older track points are overwritten by the newer points . To change the setting press the or keys to highlight the ‘track rEc’ option and press ENt . Select Distance to define your own fixed value for the track log interval . The distance interval will remain constant at all zoom ranges . Select Auto to let the GP450X define the track log recording interval automaticaly . The interval will change with the zoom range setting . Select off to disable the track logging function altogether . Interval Sets the distance interval for when Distance is selected in the Track Recording option above . When the Track Recording option is set to off or auto this setting is not available . To set the interval press the or keys to highlight the ‘INtErval’ option and press ENt . Use the keys to change the value and the keys to move left or right through the fields . Bearing reference Your vessel’s course and bearing to a destination may be displayed in either True or Magnetic formats . A True bearing is one referenced to the earth’s geographic North Pole . A Magnetic bearing is referenced to the magnetic north pole which is offset from true north . This magnetic variation changes according to your location . The magnetic bearing is identical to that measured by a standard magnetic compass . It is recommended you select the bearing reference that matches other navigation equipment in your vessel . Select Magnetic to match a magnetic compass or True if you use a gyrocompass . The default setting is Magnetic . To change the setting 1 . From the main menu select PlottEr and press the ENt key . 2 . Select the BrG rEf field and press the ENt key . Plotter setup menu 3 . Choose maG or truE as required and press the ENt key . 4 . Press mENu twice to return to the navigation screen . magnetic variation The location of the magnetic north pole is different to the geographic North Pole . This results in a difference in the direction of North between the true and the magnetic headings . This difference is called the Magnetic Variation . The variation is not constant; it varies considerably depending on your location on the earth’s surface . For example, the magnetic variation in Sydney is around 12° East of true north which is quite different from the magnetic variation in Perth of 4° West of true North . Your GP450X is pre-programmed with all of the earth’s magnetic variations and can automatically apply the correct magnetic offset for your location . However if you prefer, you can enter the magnetic variation manually as described below . 1 . From the main menu select PlottEr and press the ENt key . 2 . Select the maG var . field and press the ENt key . 3 . Choose auto or maN as required and press the ENt key . 4 . If auto is selected the unit will automatically apply the correct magnetic variation for your current location (measured by the GPs receiver) . Go to step 7 . GP450X INSTRUCTION MANUAL PAGE 21
