USE THIS LORAN RECEIVER ONLY AS AN AID TO NAVIGATION. A CAREFULNAVIGATOR NEVER RELIES ON ONLYONE METHOD TO OBTAIN POSITION INFORMATION. CAUTION This loran receiver, (like all loran navigation equipment) will show the shortest, most direct path to a waypoint. It provides navigation data to the waypoint regardless of obstructions. [. . . ] This is usefulwhen navigating using charts and you need to know the exact water depth as marked on the chart. To use the Positive Keel Offset, press the MENU key. Next, press the key next to the 'More" labeltwotimes. Now press thekeyadjacent to the "Keel Offset" label. Finally, press the key adjacent to the "Pos. A menu appearsover the sonar screen that says "Enter Keel Offset 0. 0" Sincethetransducer's face in our exampleboat is two feet deep, press the key adjacent to the 2 label, then the key adjacent to the 0 label. The numbers "2. 0" appear in the Enter Keel Off. Now press the key adjacent to the ENTER label. The Z9500 will automatically compensate for the two foot difference and display all depth information as if thetransducerwas two feet shallower than it actuallyis. For example, if the Z-9500displayedthe waterdepth as 8 feet before changing the keel offset, afterwaids it would read ten feet. This is theactual distancefromthewater's surface to the bottom using our example. turn theautomatic ASF feature on, or turn ASF's off.
