Hi, all I am helping a friend set up some of the features of his Z3 system as we sail down to Gib. It's a 3-screen system on a very nice new (to him) Bavaria C45. The original supplier is long-since disconnected from the scene and although we have downloaded a copy of the rather delphic user manual some questions remain. Any prompts about where to look would be much appreciated. In no particular order:
1) How to activate the tack function? Boat type is set to sailing but the option is backed out.
2) How to change the alert siren volume? It's barely audible, which rather defeats the object.
3) The 3 MFDs are networked. Is it possible to give each a different name? When connecting to WiFi you need to pick one to remote control, and it is impossible to distinguish which is which until you get in.
4) Is it really the case that the iPhone remote app can only view what you put on the screen of the plotter manually? The android app can control completely (though the pinch-zoom does not work well)
5) the Halo20 radar seems to go into standby mode within 20 seconds of being woken up. I can't find a setting to control this. What am I missing?
6) 2 of the 3MFD's are displaying patches of some weird overlay on the chart (the one with the Navioncs card is the one without the overlay). It looks like some sort of weather data and doesn't follow any geographical features. Overlays are turned off. It makes the chart hard to read, but not a fatal problem.
Heading past Finisterre now, so having the chance to get some pointers before we part company with the coastline and 4G (better coverage here, 10 miles off the coat of Galicia than at home in Hampshire!)
Thanks all.
