The default screen will appear first when the keyswitch is turned ON.

The screen for "SYSTEM INFORMATION" (6) will display the following information: current user name, "software part number", "software version for the ROM bootloader", unit "serial number", "Unit Location", "Engine Location", "Display Units" and vessel speed units.

The indicators for the "Station Button Status" (10) and the indicators for the "Station Lamp Status" (11) indicate the state of the buttons and indicators of the active control panel.
