BASIC OPERATION AND FEATURES Tachometer 2 1 0 3 4 Speedometer 5 20 6 7 30 40 50 60 10 70 0 80 Power up: Each gauge will power up when the ignition is turned on. Gauges will stay on as long as the ignition is on. Lights: The brightness and contrast are adjustable. Buttons: The MODE button is used for selecting information screens. The “+” and “–” buttons are used for setting engine speed during troll control and setting gauge calibrations.
BASIC OPERATION AND FEATURES Digital Display Screen: Displays the following engine information.
AUTO-DETECTION ENGINE FUNCTION On first time power up of gauge or after a “Master Reset”, gauge will display “Auto detect”. Upon pressing the mode button, gauge will automatically determine engine type. This will preset the data monitoring screens accordingly. The intention is to make initial setup easier. If the gauge shows a warning of “No Starboard Engine” or “Multiple Starboard Engines”, engine location must be properly selected (Port and Stbd) at the engine using a Mercury engine diagnostic tool.
MASTER RESET You can return the gauge back to factory presets through the Master Reset command. IMPORTANT: Performing a master reset will reset the unit back to all factory defaults, thus eliminating any installation calibrations performed during set up of product. – + and TROLL simultaneously for approximately 10 By pressing TROLL seconds (Until the graphic bars “collide”), you will be able to restore the unit back to factory presets.
