accurate) or a stopwatch to determine your speed over a certain distance (distance / time = speed). It
is recommended that the calibration take place in water having little or no current.
To calibrate the water speed:
1. Use the ARROW keys to highlight ‘ Calibrate Water Speed’ and press ENTER.
2. Bring the boat to a cruising speed. Both the top GPS ground speed and uncalibrated water speed will
be shown at the bottom of the calibration window. Note your top speed, then stop the boat and press
ENTER.
3. By default, the top speed will automatically show in the ‘What was your top water speed?’ fi eld. If a
ground speed is not available, the top uncalibrated water speed is used instead. If the new speed is
correct, highlight ‘OK’ and press ENTER. To manually enter a calibration, press ENTER on the speed
eld, enter a new speed and press ENTER.
If the boat is not moving fast enough or the speed sensor is not registering a speed, a
“Boat Is Not Moving Fast Enough To Calibrate” message is displayed at the bottom of the
screen. Check that the speed sensor wheel is moving or safely increase boat speed. If there
is a problem with the speed sensor/unit or if a speed senor is not installed, a “Water Speed
Sensor Is Not Working” message is displayed at the bottom of the display. Check connec-
tions of speed sensor cables.

Time Format — choose from 12 or 24 hour (military) time format.
Time Zone — choose your correct time zone to show correct local time or enter a UTC (also called

Current Time and Current Date — display current time and date. Fields will be blank if not
receiving a time from an attached GPS. It is not possible to edit these fi elds.
