Identifying engines
Configuring Transducer settings
RealVision ™ 3D AHRS calibration
An uncalibrated transducer can produce an offset to the front edge of the render of the bottom in the sonar image, as illustrated below.
|
|
|
Uncalibrated |
Calibrated |
Calibration is an automatic process and starts after your vessel has turned approximately 100° at a speed of between 3 –15 knots. Calibration requires no user input, however at least a 270° turn is required before the calibration process can determine the local deviation and apply a relevant offset.
The time it takes to complete the calibration process will vary according to the characteristics of the vessel, the installation environment of the transducer, and the levels of magnetic interference at the time of conducting the process. Sources of significant magnetic interference may increase the time required to complete the calibration process. Certain areas with substantial magnetic deviation may require extra circles or “figure of 8” manoeuvres to be performed. Examples of such sources of magnetic interference include:
- Vessel engines
- Vessel alternators
- Marine pontoons
- Metal-hulled vessels
- Underwater cables
|
Note:
In some circumstances, it is beneficial to disable Realvision AHRS if local sources of magnetic interference are distorting the sonar image. Realvision AHRS can be disabled from Settings.
|
|
Note:
The Calibration process will require repeating after a Sonar reset or MFD Factory reset. |
Transducer calibration (iTC-5)
|
Note:
Transducer calibration requirements:
|
|
Note:
You can only calibrate transducers that are directly connected to the iTC-5 instrument you select for calibration. In systems with more than 1 iTC-5, it is important to remember which transducer(s) are connected to each iTC-5 instrument. |

Alarms
Alarms are color coded to signify their severity:
Dangerous alarms
Red — A Red notification is used to signify a dangerous alarm condition, immediate action is required due to a potential or immediate danger to life or vessel. Dangerous alarms are accompanied by an audible tone. The Dangerous alarm notification and audible tone will continue to be displayed until acknowledged or the conditions that triggered the alarm are no longer present. Acknowledged alarms may remain active whilst the alarm condition persists but will not trigger further onscreen or audible notifications.
Warning alarms
Orange — An Orange notification is used to signify a warning alarm condition. Warnings alarms are used to signify that there has been a change in situation that you need to be aware of. Warnings alarms are accompanied by an audible tone. The warning alarm notification and audible tone will continue to be displayed until acknowledged or the conditions that triggered the alarm are no longer present. Acknowledged alarms may remain active whilst the alarm condition persists but will not trigger further onscreen or audible notifications.
Notifications
Blue — A Blue notification is used to signify information requiring user acknowledgement. Unless they require user interaction, information notifications may self dismiss after 3 seconds. Information notifications are not accompanied by an audible tone and are not displayed in the Active alarms or Alarm history lists.
Alarm manager
Active alarms
The Alarm manager can be accessed by selecting Alarms from the Homescreen.
Example: Active alarms tab
The Active alarms tab lists all alarms that are currently active. Alarms will remain active until the conditions that triggered the alarm are no longer present, e.g.: a Shallow depth alarm will automatically dismiss when the depth becomes deeper.

|
If enabled, when you arrive at a waypoint, an alarm is triggered. This setting allows you to select one of three different types of radius, and then specify the radius size for the arrival alarm. When your vessel crosses this imaginary circle, the Waypoint Arrival alarm is triggered. |
|
|
|
Arrival radius — This value can be set when the MFD is NOT in pilot integration mode and the pilot is in Track mode. |
Radius can be set from 20 m to 10 NM. (Dependent on units of measure you specify for Distance units in System Settings). |
|
|
Pilot track mode radius — This can be used when the MFD is integrated with a pilot and the pilot is in Track mode. |
Radius can be set from 20 m to 10 NM. (Dependent on units of measure you specify for Distance units in System Settings). |
|
|
Search route arrival radius — This can be used when the MFD is following a SAR route. Also helpful when race sailing and using Laylines or when fishing, as this alarm setting provides a much tighter default radius to ensure you don't get alerted too far away from the target waypoint. |
Radius can be set from 3 m to 10 NM. (Dependent on units of measure you specify for Distance units in System Settings). |
|
|
If enabled, during active navigation an alarm is triggered when your vessel steers off track by more than the specified Cross track error value. |

Man Overboard (MOB)
|
The MOB feature can be activated by pressing and holding on the MOB icon on the Homescreen. |
|
The MOB waypoint icon displayed at the top of all apps. |
The MOB feature requires your vessel to have a valid position fix from a GNSS (GPS) receiver. Dead reckoning mode also requires Heading and Speed data.
When you activate the MOB alarm:
- an audible alarm is sounded which is repeated every 30 seconds until the alarm is cancelled.
- a MOB Databar providing Bearing and range from MOB, and elapsed time since MOB was initiated, is displayed along the top of the screen. The Databar persists across apps and the Homescreen, and remains until the MOB alarm is cancelled.
- a MOB warning is displayed in the bottom of the screen, which requires acknowledgement.
- the Chart app is placed in a special MOB mode to help you navigate back to the point your vessel was at when the MOB was initiated.
MOB mode
MOB can be set to Dead Reckoning or Position mode. Dead Reckoning mode will take into consideration the effects of wind and tides. This usually provides a more accurate course. Position mode does not take these factors into account. You can change the MOB mode at anytime from the Alarms menu: .

Run wizard calibration
The shape of your tank determines how many calibration points you should enter for calibration. 2 calibration points are required as a minimum, but up to 101 points can be entered. Generally, the more calibration points entered the more precise tank readings will be.
Additional calibration points are used to account for changes in tank volume at different parts of an irregularly shaped tank. Depending on the size and shape of your tank it is recommended that you enter calibration points to mark each change in the shape of the fuel tank; for example, straight corners require an additional point, and slopes require 2 points.
The illustration above shows the minimum number of calibration points recommended for some typical tank shapes:
- The tank shown on the left is rectangular and symmetrical; it only requires 2 calibration points to define the bottom and top of the tank.
- The tank shown in the center has a greater volume at the bottom; 3 points are required to define the bottom, top and corner of the fuel tank.
- The tank shown on the right has a greater volume at the bottom and is sloped. 4 points are required to define the bottom of the tank, the top, and a further 2 points to define the slope.

Laylines
When a layline is used to calculate the route to a waypoint, it will take into account a number of factors to provide a better alternative course, compared to simply navigating in a straight line to a waypoint.
The reason why laylines are a more efficient way to sail to a specific point is because they’re based on True Wind Direction (TWD) and either: a) fixed upwind / downwind sailing angles, or b) the use of polars to reflect the performance of your particular vessel. In this respect, sailing along laylines maximizes your Velocity Made Good (VMG) to windward. Another reason why laylines are more accurate is because they can also be configured to account for tidal current, as well as the leeway of your vessel.
To ensure the layline calculations are as accurate as possible, it’s important to ensure that the following settings are correctly configured:
- Boat details (specifically those relating to sailing):
- Laylines settings:
For more information on these settings, refer to: Boat details and Laylines settings
|
Note:
You should not steer your vessel so that its heading points exactly along the layline. Instead try to align your Course Over Ground (COG) with the visual laylines, as well as using the information displayed on the Sailing page in the Dashboard app to help you steer to your optimum wind angle. Your vessel should then travel along the layline, under the effects of tide and leeway. |
Sailing data page
Sailing dials can be displayed in the Dashboard app by selecting the Sailing default data page. For more information on customizing the Sailing data page, refer to Dashboard app

Displaying and interpreting laylines
Laylines are displayed as a parallelogram under the following conditions:
- The vessel is under active navigation towards a Waypoint or Goto.
- A tack is required to meet an active Waypoint or Goto.
- The direct distance to the destination point is less than 150 nm from your vessel.
When the destination point is upwind the laylines will be displayed in a parallelogram formation, with green and red laylines showing the port and starboard tacks, as shown below:
- Destination
- Starboard destination layline
- Port vessel layline
- Port destination layline
- Starboard vessel layline
When the destination point is downwind the laylines will be displayed as an orange parallelogram formation, adjusted for gybing, as shown below:
Displaying wind shift data
- With TWD holding at the high end of its range of variation, the vessel can tack to starboard and will lay the windward or leeward mark as it enters the shaded area. However, if TWD shifts back towards the lower end of its range of variation, the vessel will fall short of the layline and may have to perform extra tacks to reach the waypoint.
- With TWD holding at the low end of its range of variation, the vessel can tack to starboard and will only lay the windward or leeward mark when it reaches the end of the shaded area. However, if TWD shifts back towards the high end of its range of variation, the vessel will overstand the windward or leeward mark and may need to travel farther to reach the waypoint.
- Depending on the situation, the normal course of action would be to tack when the vessel is halfway through the shaded area. However this may not be the shortest or quickest route.
Wind shift data options are available from the Laylines settings page:
- Show wind shifts — Toggle wind shifts ON / OFF
- Time Period — Select the time period that you want the wind shift data to cover
- Reset — Reset the recorded wind shift data
Race Start Line (SmartStart) and Race Timer
The basic concept of an effective race start is to guide your vessel and tune the sail configuration in an optimum way to ensure you are approaching the start line at the very last moment with full power. In race sailing, the countdown to this last moment is known as “Time to Burn”.
The race start line features help you to do this by providing a visual indication of the position of the race line on the Chart, as well as key data, including race timer, distance to start line, line bias, and Time to Burn. These features can also be used in conjunction with Laylines to further assist you in optimizing your approach to the start line. When the Race Start Line, Race Timer and Laylines are active, Laylines will visually protrude from the race start line’s port and starboard ends to help guide your vessel on an optimum course to the start line.
For more information on Laylines, refer to: Laylines
The Race Start Line and Race Timer data is displayed in 2 different places:
- In the Chart app’s Sidebar — When the Chart app is in Racing mode, you can swipe from the left of the screen to display a sidebar showing the key race start information.
- In the Dashboard app — The dedicated Race Start page displays key race start information, including an apparent wind sailing dial, race timer, distance to start line, line bias, Time to Burn, and more. For more information, refer to: Race Start data items
Note:
|
Creating the Race Start Line
The end points can be created by:
- Placing them anywhere on the Chart app — or for greater accuracy — placing them using existing chart waypoints and chart objects (e.g. Buoys).
- Pinging your vessel’s current location, using GPS position data.
Once both end points have been entered, the race start line will be drawn between the two points.
Placing the Race Start Line
Pinging the Race Start Line
|
Important:
Pinging the Race Start Line ends will use your GPS location (from an internal or external GPS receiver). When pinging the end points, it is important to compensate for the distance between your vessel’s bow and the GPS location. |
To increase the accuracy of start line placement:
- Approach an end point from the same direction you will be traveling when starting the race.
- Align your vessel so it is perpendicular to the end point.
- When the bow of your vessel reaches the end point, ping the location.
- Repeat for the alternate end, ensuring your vessel remains perpendicular to the line.
Editing and clearing the Race Start Line
Starting the Race Timer
| Note: The Race Timer can be set from 1 minute to 30 minutes. |
|
Note:
The Race Timer can also be operated from the Dashboard app Race Start Page. |
Race laylines
The start line will appear differently depending on whether it is an upwind or downwind start:
- Upwind starts will show red and green laylines as well as a Favoured End Marker on the end point closer to the True Wind Direction (TWD).
- Downwind starts will show orange laylines as well as a Favoured End Marker on the end point farther from the True Wind Direction (TWD).

Target tracking
When targets are being tracked they appear in the AIS or Radar targets list.
The target lists can be accessed by selecting Targets from the app menu: , and then selecting the relevant tab.
Selecting a target from the list highlights the selected target in the LiveView app pane on the right of the page.
The list identifies: Target name, Range from your vessel, and Bearing. Where relevant, CPA (Closest point of approach) and TCPA (Time to Closest Point of Approach) values will also be displayed.
AIS list
The AIS target list displays pop-over options which enable you to View full target data or add a target as an AIS buddy by selecting Add as buddy.
The Buddy feature enables you to add AIS-equipped friends and regular contacts to a “Buddy List” on your MFD. As soon as a vessel on your Buddy List comes within range of your AIS receiver, the onscreen vessel icon changes to indicate this.
AIS icons used for targets marked as buddies will be filled yellow. You can also rename buddy targets or remove targets from your buddy list.
Radar list
The Radar target list can be Sorted By: target Number or its Range from your vessel.
Radar targets can be cancelled individually by selecting the ‘X’ next to the target’s details in the list, or you can cancel all targets by selecting Cancel all targets.
You can display Radar target information onscreen by selecting Target info from the Radar target pop-over options.
Target vectors
Target vectors settings can be accessed from the Target Settings tab: .
The vectors can be set to True or Relative.
The Vector length identifies where the target will be after the specified time has passed. You can adjust the length of the vector by selecting a time from the Vector length pop-over options.
AIS vectors can be set to All (displayed for all targets) or Manual (only displayed when enabled using the target’s context menu).
Target vectors can be enabled and disabled for individual targets: Press and hold on an AIS target to display the context menu, and then select Vector.
Dangerous targets alarm
To set up the Dangerous target alarm, first adjust the Safe distance to the desired value and then select a Time to reach safe distance. The alarm will be triggered if a tracked target will reach the specified Safe distance from your vessel within the time period selected.
You can select whether you want the Dangerous target alarm to track Radar targets, AIS targets or both.
You can display a Safe distance ring around your vessel in the Chart and Radar app using the Show safe distance control.

Blue Force overview
The Blue Force features offer secure (encyrpted) communications and surveillance capability through the existing Automatic Identification System (AIS) network.
As these messages cannot be received by standard AIS receivers, Blue Force-equipped vessels are effectively invisible to non-Blue Force users, in terms of AIS transmissions. Blue Force users can still receive the standard AIS transmissions of other non-Blue Force vessels.
Unique AIS target icons are used onscreen to represent Blue Force participants.
Note:

Collision avoidance
Additionally, Predicted Area of Danger zones are displayed to indicate where there is an increased risk of collision. The Warning line and Predicted Area of Danger zones are based on your current speed and AIS data received from targets and can help you determine whether you should change course and / or speed to avoid danger.
The Collision Avoidance graphics automatically refresh when the MFD receives new position data from the target.
| Important: The Collision Avoidance feature is a graphical aid only, provided to help increase user awareness of the potential for collision. It is vital to have a good understanding of the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (IRPCS / COLREGS), to ensure all actions taken are in accordance with the IRPCS. Important concepts to understand in relation to Collision Avoidance include (but are not limited to): Risk assessment; Right of Way; Restricted visibility; interpreting lights and shapes; interpreting sound and light signals. In the event of conflict, the IRPCS regulations must take precedence. For more information on IRPCS / COLREGS, refer to: IRPCS |

Collision scenarios
- Own vessel moving faster than target
- Target moving faster than own vessel
- Both targets moving at similar speed
Example scenario 1 — Own vessel moving faster than target vessel
| Note: These scenarios are examples provided for guidance only. |
In the example above the vessel’s COG will cross with the target’s COG within the Interception zone, which could cause a collision. You should alter course and / or speed to avoid the potential collision.
Scenario 1 Course change examples
- Course alteration to pass ahead of the Interception zone [Not recommended] — Proceed with caution, there is always an inherent risk when passing in front of other vessels.
- Course alteration to pass ahead of the target vessel [Not recommended] — This manoeuvre is not recommended as your vessel will still cross through the target’s Interception zone.
- Course alteration to pass astern of the target vessel and its Interception zone — This manoeuvre alters your vessel’s course so that it does not come into contact with the target’s Interception zone and passes astern of the target.
- Course alteration to pass clear astern of the target vessel and its Interception zone. This is the preferred manoeuvre as it correctly alters your vessel’s course so that it is clear of the target’s Interception zone and passes safely astern of the target. This manoeuvre also clearly indicates to the target vessel your actual change of course.
Figure 2. Scenario 1 Speed change examples
- (1) Speeding up [Not recommended] — Increasing vessel speed to pass ahead of the target vessel. Proceed with caution, there is always an inherent risk when passing in front of other vessels.
- No speed change [Not recommended] — Not changing speed or course is not an option as it can result in a collision.
- Slowing down [Not recommended] — Slowing down a sufficient amount will allow the target vessel to pass ahead of your vessel.
- (2) Slowing down — Slowing down more than a sufficient amount will allow the target vessel to pass safely ahead of your vessel.
Note:
|
Example scenario 2 — Target vessel moving faster than your vessel
| Note: These scenarios are examples provided for guidance only. |
In certain situations, when the target vessel is travelling faster than your vessel, there may be more than one opportunity for your paths to cross within the Intercept distance. If this is the case then a second Interception zone is displayed.
- 1st — The first Interception zone (displayed closest to the target vessel) represents a bow-to-bow collision.
- 2nd — The second Interception zone (displayed farthest from the target vessel) represents the target vessel running you down from behind.
When altering course and speed, both Interception zones must be avoided.
Scenario 2 Course change examples
- Course alteration to pass ahead of the Interception zone [Not recommended] — As the target vessel is moving faster than your vessel you will pass astern of the target.
- Course alteration to pass ahead of the first Interception zone [Not recommended] — Although this course alteration is sufficient to avoid a potential bow-to-bow collision, it has created a second Interception zone where the target may now run you down from behind.
- Course alteration to pass between the 2 Interception zones [Not recommended] — Although this may seem like the quickest option, proceed with caution, as the gap between the 2 Interception zones can close quickly, especially when your vessel slows down.
- Course alteration to clear astern of the target vessel and its Interception zone. This would be the preferred manoeuvre as it correctly alters your vessel’s course so that it is clear of the target’s Interception zone, and passes safely astern of the target. This manoeuvre also clearly indicates to the target vessel your change of course.
Figure 2. Scenario 2 Speed change examples
- Speeding up [Not recommended] — Increasing vessel speed to pass ahead of the target vessel. Proceed with caution, there is always an inherent risk when passing in front of other vessels.
- No change [Not recommended] — Not changing speed or course may result in a collision.
- Slowing down [Not recommended] — Slowing down slightly may result in the 2 Interception zones closing up or merging into a single zone.
- Slowing down — Slowing down a sufficient amount will allow the target vessel to pass safely ahead of your vessel, avoiding the Interception zone(s).
Example scenario 3 — Both vessels travelling at the same speed
| Note: These scenarios are examples provided for guidance only. |
When both vessels are travelling at the same speed, course alterations should be made in accordance with the guidance provided in examples 1 and 2.
Speed changeWhen both vessels are travelling at the same speed, altering your speed will change the collision scenario to one of the scenarios detailed in examples 1 and 2.

Sonar sensitivity controls
The Sensitivity controls available are dependant upon the Sonar module in use.
| Control | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
|
‘G’ Gain |
The control determines the signal strength at which target returns are shown onscreen. The Gain control can be set to Auto or Manual. Depending on Sonar module, in Auto you can add an offset of up to ± 50%. A higher value produces more target returns and noise onscreen. |
|
The control sets the lower limit for the color used for the strongest target returns. All target returns above this value are displayed in the strongest color. Those with a weaker value are divided equally between the remaining colors. The control can be set to Auto or Manual. Depending on Sonar module, in Auto you can add an offset of up to ± 50%. |
|
|
The control determines the amount of noise displayed onscreen by varying the gain throughout the water column. A lower value decreases the depth at which the control is applied. The control can be set to Auto or Manual. |
|
|
‘TVG’ Time Varied Gain |
The control determines the amount of attenuation applied throughout the water column to ensure that targets of a similar size appear the same regardless of depth. A higher value produces weaker targets and less noise onscreen. The control can be set to 1 of 3 Auto modes or can be set to Manual. |
|
All to Auto |
Sets all Sensitivity settings to Auto with 0% offset. |

Doppler Radar overview
Typically Doppler Radar works best with objects that are moving directly towards or away from the vessel. Doppler Radar can highlight only those targets that are moving relative to the vessel (e.g. other boats, but not land or buoys, for example).
Doppler Radar works by transmitting a microwave signal which is then reflected off a desired moving target at a distance. By analyzing how the object's motion has altered the frequency of the returned signal, the Doppler Radar can interpret the variation to provide highly accurate measurements of a target's direction of travel, relative to the Radar scanner.
Doppler Radar technology is particularly beneficial in a marine environment, where poor weather conditions and visibility can make target tracking difficult. Additionally, it is not always easy to interpret the information displayed by traditional Radar technology. With the integration of Doppler information, the process of matching on-screen radar returns with real-world objects becomes a much simpler task.
Doppler mode
Doppler mode — Enabling and disabling
Doppler mode is enabled from the Main menu: .
With Doppler mode enabled the color palette will change to the default Doppler palette, all approaching targets will be colored Red and all targets moving away from you will be colored Green.
Doppler mode is suspended at ranges of 12 nm and greater. The Radar color palette will remain the same but targets will not be highlighted.
Doppler mode — Color palettes
Doppler has unique color palettes which help to ensure the Red and Green Doppler targets stand out from the Radar image. When Doppler is enabled the standard color palette setting will show only the unique Doppler color palettes: Doppler grey, Doppler blue and Doppler yellow.
The Color palettes can be selected from the Presentation tab: .

Radar sensitivity controls
The Sensitivity controls available are dependant upon the Radar scanner in use.
| Control | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
|
|
‘G’ Gain |
The control determines the signal strength at which target returns are shown onscreen. The Gain control can be set to Auto or Manual. A higher value produces more target returns and noise onscreen. |
|
‘R’ Rain |
Precipitation appears on the Radar screen as lots of small echoes which continuously change size, intensity and position. The Rain control suppresses these echoes making it easier to identify real object. The higher the Rain control is set the more echoes will be suppressed. |
|
‘S’ Sea |
Radar echoes from waves can clutter the Radar screen. The Sea control suppresses these echoes (for up to 5 nm depending on conditions) making it easier to identify real objects. The higher the Sea control is set the more echoes will be suppressed. |
|
‘CG’ Color Gain |
The control sets the lower limit for the color used for the strongest target returns. All target returns above this value are displayed in the strongest color. Those with a weaker value are divided equally between the remaining colors. The control can be set to Auto or Manual. |

Video app
Video app overview
Up to 4 video feeds can be displayed simultaneously when using a splitscreen app page.
Axiom ™ Pro MFDs will transmit a connected analog video feed over RayNet to enable the feed to be viewed on networked MFDs.
Video app pages
Each Video app instance is unique, this means that once you have selected a feed to display in a Video app page then your feed selection is saved and the same feed will be displayed whenever that app page icon is opened from the Homescreen. If you open the same Video app page from a networked MFD, the same feed will be displayed on each MFD.
You can create additional Video app pages and assign a different feed to each. This will allow you to view multiple feeds on multiple networked MFDs simultaneously.
For example, if you want to display a different video feed on different networked MFDs, you must first create additional Video app pages.
|
Note:
When you have multiple Video app page icons on your Homescreen, you may wish to rename each icon to help you easily identify the feeds(s) assigned to each app page. For information on how to rename Homescreen icons, refer to: Creating / Customizing an App page |

ClearCruise (Object Detection and Augmented Reality)
ClearCruise ™ features
ClearCruise ™ technology provides 2 separate features:
- Object Detection
- Augmented Reality (AR)
Object Detection
Object Detection is a feature available for M100 and M200 Series thermal cameras. Intelligent thermal analytics technology provides audible and visual alerts when “non-water” objects are identified in the scene. Vessels, obstacles, and navigation markers can all be automatically identified by the camera without the need for Chart or Radar data.
Required components for Object Detection
- MFD: Axiom / Axiom Pro / Axiom XL, or eS Series / gS Series running LightHouse 3.
- Thermal Camera (M100 or M200 Series)
- LightHouse ™ software (v3.0 or later)
Augmented Reality
The Augmented Reality feature places layers of digital information directly over the top of the Video app’s video feed. Data from the Chart app is used to generate informative text and images (flags) on the Video app. When calibrated correctly, ClearCruise ™ Augmented Reality accurately overlays automatically-updating flags on the Video app so they overlap real-life objects.
Required components for Augmented Reality (IP cameras)
- MFD (Axiom, Axiom Pro or Axiom XL)
- AR200 Augmented Reality Sensor
- IP camera (CAM210IP or CAM220IP)
- LightHouse ™ software (v3.7 or later)
Required components for Augmented Reality (M-Series cameras)
- MFD (Axiom, Axiom Pro or Axiom XL)
- AR200 Augmented Reality Sensor
- M-Series camera (M100, M200 and M300 Series)
- M100 / M200-Series cameras require LightHouse ™ software version 3.9 or later.
- M300-Series cameras require LightHouse ™ software version 3.10.71 or later.
|
Important:
Cameras utilizing ClearCruise ™ Augmented Reality are subject to an unstable image on rough waters. |
| Note: ClearCruise’s performance is dependent on environmental conditions and is not a replacement for maintaining a visual watch. |
Camera setup
Refer to your camera’s installation manual to determine the correct physical installation and connections for using the camera as part of an Augmented Reality system.
A number of additional camera-related settings and calibrations must be completed in the Video app before Augmented Reality features can be used:
- Camera height above the waterline.
- Camera direction.
- Camera horizontal field of view [not required for cameras which auto assign their field of view].
- Horizon calibration.

Augmented Reality (AR) overview
The Augmented Reality feature places layers of digital information directly over the top of the Video app’s video feed. Data from the Chart app is used to generate informative text and images (flags) on the Video app. When calibrated correctly, ClearCruise ™ Augmented Reality accurately overlays automatically-updating flags on the Video app so they overlap real-life objects.
The Augmented Reality feature requires an Axiom, Axiom Pro or Axiom XL MFD, an AR200 sensor and a compatible camera.
For more information, refer to: ClearCruise ™ features
Note:
|
| Important: Rear-facing cameras with a flipped or mirrored image may not place Augmented Reality content as accurately as a forward-facing camera. |
Augmented Reality flags
All flags display an icon and your vessel’s distance from the target’s location.

| Note: AIS flags update periodically; however, accurate placement is not guaranteed. |
- AIS Targets, Waypoints and Chart Object flags can be quickly enabled / disabled via buttons in the Video app.
- The maximum range within which flags are automatically shown can also be adjusted in the Video app.
- For more information on adjusting flag settings, refer to: ClearCruise ™ features
Selected flags
A flag is an onscreen visual overlay element displayed in the Video app when the Augmented Reality features are enabled. A flag represents an object from the Chart application: e.g. AIS target, Waypoint, or other chart object.
When a flag is selected, the corresponding object is also highlighted in the Chart app. Conversely, selecting an object in the Chart app highlights the corresponding flag in the Video app.
Only one flag may be selected at a time.

Sets the maximum range at which the camera will detect and display Augmented Reality flags. This range is displayed visually in the Chart app with the “FOV cone”. Refer to: Field of View . For the maximum range supported by your camera, refer to: Range limit |
|
Note:
The variety of chart objects is dependent on the selected cartography source. For more information on different cartography sources, refer to: Find nearest |
Range limit
The range limit can be checked using the Field of View (FOV) cone in the Chart app. All AIS targets, Waypoints and Chart Objects within the area of coverage of the FOV cone can be displayed as Augmented Reality flags in the Video app. For more information, refer to: Field of View
|
Note:
Some chart objects just outside of the FOV cone might still display in the Video app as flags. |
You can specify this range limit manually in the Video app: . Any adjustments you make will be reflected in the FOV cone display in the Chart app.
Roll correction
| Note: Roll correction is only available with IP cameras. |
Roll Correction can be enabled/disabled in the Video app: .
When enabled, the Roll Correction feature accounts for the boat tilting and stabilizes the video feed accordingly. This means that the video feed’s horizon will be parallel with the actual horizon. When disabled, the video feed will tilt with the boat and the MFD screen.
| 1 | Roll correction disabled |
| 2 | Roll correction enabled |
AR200 Calibration (Linearization)
Calibration is achieved using an automatic linearization process. The linearization process starts automatically after your vessel has turned approximately 100°, when travelling at a speed of between 3 to 15 knots. The linearization process requires no user input, however at least a 270° turn is required before linearization can be completed. The duration of the linearization process can be decreased by completing a full 360° turn, when travelling at a speed of between 3 to 15 knots. The linearization process can also be restarted at anytime.
In the Video app the Linearization progress bar is displayed when linearization is in progress. The bar is filled to indicate completeness, and will turn Red if the process is paused or otherwise interrupted.
The time taken to complete the linearization process will vary according to the characteristics of the vessel, the AR200’s installation location, and the levels of magnetic interference present at the time linearization is performed.
Magnetic interference can be caused by objects onboard your vessel, such as:
- Speakers
- Electronic equipment
- Electrical cabling
- Metal bulkhead or hull
Magnetic interference can also be caused by external objects in close proximately to your vessel, such as:
- Metal hulled vessels
- Underwater electrical cables
- Marine pontoons
Magnetic deviation
The automatic linearization process results in a deviation value being set for your AR200. If Augmented Reality flags in the Video app are not aligned with their onscreen objects, or the compass is out of alignment, you should check the AR200’s current calibration settings. For instructions on how to do this, refer to: AR200 calibration settings
AR200 calibration settings
The AR200 calibration page can be accessed using your Data master MFD; from the Homescreen select: .
|
1 |
The current heading reported by the AR200. |
|
|
2 |
Maximum deviation at last calibration: The maximum deviation reported during the last linearization process.
Calibration in progress: While linearization is in progress the progress percentage is displayed. |
|
|
3 |
Once the linearization process has completed, it is possible that the heading value may be slightly out of alignment. This is common where installation space is limited and the AR200 is not properly aligned with your vessel’s longitudinal axis. In this case, it is possible to manually adjust the Compass offset. |
|
|
4 |
When enabled, the Compass lock prevents the continual monitoring and adaptation of the compass linearization process. For more information, refer to: Compass lock . |
|
|
5 |
You can reset your AR200’s current linearization settings by selecting Reset calibration |
Continual monitoring and adaptation
To ensure optimum performance, after the initial linearization process is complete the unit continues to monitor and adapt the compass linearization to suit current conditions.
If the conditions for linearization are less than ideal, the automatic linearization process temporarily pauses until conditions improve again. The following conditions can cause the linearization process to temporarily pause:
- significant magnetic interference is present
- vessel speed too slow or too fast
- rate-of-turn too slow or too fast
Compass lock
This feature is particularly useful for vessels in environments that are exposed to strong magnetic disturbances on a regular basis (such as offshore wind farms or very busy rivers, for example). In these situations it may be desirable to use the Compass lock feature to disable the continuous linearization process, as the magnetic interference may build a heading error over time.
| Note: The compass lock may be released at any time, to allow the compass continual monitoring and adaptation to re-commence. This is particularly useful if planning a long voyage. The earth’s magnetic field will change significantly from one geographical location to another, and the compass can continually compensate for the changes, ensuring you maintain accurate heading data throughout the voyage. |

- registered your UAV using the applicable DJI app (e.g.: DJI GO 4) on your mobile device.
- gained experience of launching, flying and retrieving your UAV.
- removed the RC cable from the side of your UAV’s remote controller.
- ensured the remote controller is not in Sport mode.
- Created a UAV app page icon on the MFD’s Homescreen.
Removing the RC cable
UAV controller connection
Note:
|
|
Important:
Ensure that the USB connection to your MFD is secure and protected against water ingress. |
UAV precautions
The following precautions should be followed:
- You will need to be an experienced, competent pilot as launching and retrieving the UAV on a vessel is more difficult due to confined space and vessel movement / drift.
- Only launch your UAV in calm wind and tide conditions. When attempting to launch or retrieve your UAV your vessel should be travelling at less than 1 knot and your captain should be ready at the helm to back down or maneuver the vessel to avoid accidental collisions
- Maintain awareness of your UAV’s battery status, remaining flight time, distance from your vessel and Wind and Tide conditions. A UAV flying against the wind will consume battery power more rapidly than when flying downwind or in calm conditions. Always budget sufficient power reserves to ensure the safe return and retrieval of your UAV.
- Maintain a permanent watch of your UAV while in flight. The UAV pilot or competent observer must maintain awareness of surrounding air and marine traffic while the UAV is in flight. The pilot must remain ready to take control of the UAV and manually fly it to avoid interfering with other vessels or aircraft.
- While your UAV’s controller is connected to your MFD it should be positioned so that it maintains line of sight with your airborne UAV. If the controller is not hand held then it must be secured to prevent it becoming disconnected from your MFD and to prevent unintentional button presses.
No-fly zones
It is illegal to fly your UAV in no-fly zones. No fly zones include:
- Airports
- Airfields
- Country borders
- Sensitive institutions
The Remote controller and the MFD will alert you that there is a no-fly zone. Your UAV will not enter the restricted airspace covered by a no-fly zone. You will also be unable to launch your UAV in restricted airspace. Please refer to the DJI app or the DJI website for more information on no-fly zones and their locations.
Getting started
UAV app page
UAV control features are integrated with the Chart app; when creating a UAV app page it is recommended that you create a splitscreen Chart / UAV app page.
Follow the instructions detailed in the Creating / Customizing an app page section for information on creating an app page. Chart / UAV splitscreen app pages will be set to a 30/70 page split by default.
Opening the UAV app
The first time you open the UAV app and after each power cycle, a disclaimer is displayed. By selecting Continue you are agreeing to the terms of this disclaimer.
The UAV app will then open in 1 of 3 states:
No Wi-Fi connection
The first time you open the UAV app, after an MFD factory reset, or after you have updated your MFD’s software, the UAV app must be registered using an internet connection on your MFD. Select Wi-Fi Settings to create an internet connection.
When registration is complete, if desired you can turn off your Wi-Fi connection by selecting Wi-Fi Settings and turning off your MFD’s Wi-Fi. Selecting OK will close the info box keeping your Wi-Fi connection turned on.
Registration failed
The registration failed notification is displayed if the DJI servers cannot be reached. Registration will be re-attempted automatically. If the failure persists, check your Wi-Fi and internet or try again later.
No connection detected
After successful registration, the ‘No connection detected’ notification is displayed. Connect the USB A end of your USB cable to the UAV’s primary controller. Once a successful connection is established, the notification will be closed.

Virtual joystick In Fish On / Circle me mode the left virtual joystick provides Up and Down controls to adjust the UAV’s distance from your vessel. |
|
4 |
Rotation The Rotation slider control is used to adjust the UAV’s direction of rotation and rotation speed. With the control on the slider center line the UAV will maintain position in relation to your vessel. Moving the slider right of the slider center line rotates the UAV counter-clockwise and moving the slider control to the left of the center line rotates the UAV clockwise. The farther left or right the slider control is set the faster the rotation speed will be. |
|
5 |
Virtual joystick In Fish On / Circle me mode the right virtual joystick provides Forward and Backwards controls to adjust the UAV’s height from your vessel. |
|
Note:
During your initial MFD configuration the boating Activity you selected will determine whether the function is labelled Fish on or Circle me. If Fishing (freshwater), Fishing (saltwater) or Retail/demonstration is selected then the function is labelled Fish on, otherwise the function is labelled Circle me. |
UAV Chart integration
|

Performing a UAV Goto
You can stop a UAV Goto at anytime by selecting the Red Cancel UAV Goto that is displayed onscreen in the UAV app, when a UAV Goto is active. Cancelling a UAV Goto will stop the Goto action and the UAV will hover in its current location.
A UAV Goto can be cancelled at any time by selecting Stop UAV Goto from the Chart context menu.
UAV Emergency procedures
Controller signal to UAV lost
In the event that your UAV loses its connection to the primary controller, the UAV will perform 1 of 2 actions, depending on your selection in the Advanced setting menu: .
- Hover — The UAV will stop and hover in its current location. You should maneuver your vessel towards your UAV’s position and attempt to re-establish control. When control is re-established it is recommended that you retrieve the UAV and inspect it immediately.
-
Return to boat — The UAV will perform a Return to boat maneuver and hover at the Return distance and Minimum height specified in the Return to boat settings:
If connection between the Remote controller and UAV is not re-established, your UAV will attempt to land.
Low battery warnings
Ensure while flying your UAV that you remain aware of the remaining flight time and distance from your vessel at all times. You must return your UAV to your vessel and safely retrieve it before a low battery warning occurs. The UAV app will mirror the UAV’s primary controller battery state warnings.
- Normal low battery level warning — when the UAV reaches normal low battery level, in addition to the remote controller’s audible and visual warnings a warning is also displayed on your MFD. You should immediately return the UAV to your vessel and retrieve.
- Critical low battery warning — when the UAV reaches critical low battery level, your UAV will automatically perform a Return to boat maneuver and attempt to land. It is not recommended that you allow your UAV to reach critical low battery while in flight, as it could result in damage or loss of your UAV.
Assuming manual control
The UAV pilot has the ability to take manual control of the UAV at any time. Manual control may be required for normal in-flight maneuvering or positioning, or in emergency situations. The methods of assuming manual control are as follows:
- Virtual joysticks will need to be hidden, using the Controls icon before control is returned to the Remote controller.
- Enabling Sport mode on the UAV’s Remote controller at any time will override MFD controls. Fly with caution, as flight characteristics change in Sport mode.
- In an emergency, unplugging the USB cable from the Remote controller will override the MFD controls and immediately restore manual control to the Remote controller.
