INSTALLATION AND PRECAUTIONS
Precautions
To avoid electromagnetic interference, the GEONAV must be
positioned at least 0.70 m away from the magnetic compass.
The GEONAV is water resistant and splashproof, but should
not be immersed totally in water. The rear connectors, when
not in use, should always be protected by the appropriate rub-
ber covers located on the rear side.
Cleaning
It is recommended the use of nonalcoholic products to clean
the GEONAV glass, since alcoholic products may damage the
glass surface or make it opaque.
Bracket mounting
Fix the bracket to the boat’s dashboard, then mount the
GEONAV on the bracket, adjust its inclination and lock it by
tightening the two knobs supplied into the holes.
Flush mounting with rear fastening
Locate the area where the GEONAV is to be installed, then
cut the panel using the cutting template supplied with the
unit.
Dismount the rear frame by removing the screws, then re-
place them with the stud bolts supplied.
Insert one or more plastic spacers into each stud bolt to obtain
a thickness slightly smaller (1-2 mm) than the panel. The
spacers supplied are different in thickness so that they can
combine to obtain the thickness desired.
Put the unit inside the panel, then insert the rear frame match-
ing the holes with the stud bolts. Mount the appropriate nuts
supplied on the stud bolts. Tighten the nuts and install the
lock nuts in order to properly fix the unit.

CONNECTIONS
Power supply connector (3 pins)
Use the cable supplied to connect the instrument to the onboard
power supply source, 12VDC or 24VDC.
Connect the wire labeled with + to the positive terminal and
the wire labeled with - to the negative terminal. Be careful not
to swap the power supply connections.
NOTE: The power supply cable is equipped with a 10A cylindrical glass fuse,
5x20mm, for protection against current overloads. If the unit does not switch on,
make sure that the fuse is not damaged. If the fuse is broken, replace it with a fuse
having the same electrical features. NEVER USE ANY BYPASS CIRCUIT IN PLACE
OF THE FUSE.
VGA video connector (8 pins)
This connector allows connecting the unit to any device
equipped with VGA compatible output (GEONAV Multy,
GEONAV 4CXS, PC and other chart plotters). Use the con-
necting cable supplied inserting, if necessary the male/fe-
male adapter.
Composite video connector (4 pins)
This connector allows connecting the unit to any device fea-
turing a composite video output, either PAL or NTSC.

FUNCTIONAL CHARACTERISTICS
Switching on/Switching off the unit
Press the
PWR
key to switch the GEONAV on. Press the
PWR
key again to switch it off.
Selecting the video source
At start-up, the unit enables the same video input previously
active. To change the video source selected, use the OSD menu.
After resetting the unit, the VGA input becomes the active
input.
Adjusting contrast / brightness levels
The contrast / brightness levels can be adjusted by selecting
the relevant items from the OSD menu or, in quick-adjusting
mode, by pressing one of the arrow keys. The latest parameter
adjusted will show: press
MENU
to switch from brightness level
to contrast level, then use the arrow keys to adjust the param-
eters as desired. After a few seconds the quick-adjusting menu
will disappear from the screen.
NOTE: At start-up, the default brightness level will be set near to the maximum,
regardless of the level previously set. This allows the user to see the image regard-
less of the current light conditions.
Image resolution
The GEONAV display resolution is 1024x768 pixels (XGA).
When the unit is used with VGA compatible devices (PC, etc.),
to improve the image quality it is recommended to set the same
1024x768 resolution for the device connected. Connecting
the unit to devices having different resolutions may cause
poor image quality.
When displaying signals coming from PAL or NTSC video
sources, the resolution will automatically change.
