27 Raymarine Sirius Weather System Installation Guide
Using the Weather application
Introduction
This chapter is intended to give an overview of how to operate the Weather
application of your C or E Series display and is applicable to systems being
operated in US waters only.
Note: Ensure you have the latest up to date version of the handbook for
your individual Display (C/E Series) which can be accessed on line
at www.raymarine.com look for the Manuals under Customer
Support. Software upgrades may take place changing the opera
bility of the software as described in this handbook.
Overview
Using your Sirius weather receiver to obtain the data, regularly updated
forecasts and warnings with details of current and expected weather condi
tions can be seen on your display.
The weather application enables you to overlay historical, live and fore
casted weather graphics over a world map on your C or E Series display. It
also provides forecasts and warnings in a text format.
Setting up the application
Before you are able to use the weather application you will need to make
sure that the following steps have been carried out:
• Your Sirius Weather Receiver has been installed and connected in
accordance with the instructions contained in the Installation and
Connection sections of this handbook.
• Your C or E Series display is running a version of software that includes
the weather application.
• You have obtained a Sirius ID number and activated the system as
detailed in “System activation” on page 18 of this handbook.
• Your C or E Series display has obtained a GPS fix on your boat’s
position.
With all of the above steps completed you now need to set up your system
to show the required weather information. To do this you need to:
• Customize a page set.
• Configure your weather application.
• Specify the information displayed.
Customize a page set
The weather application does not appear in a pre configured page set. You
need to set up a page set to include a weather application window.
For full details of how to customize a page set refer to the relevant display
handbook.
Configure your weather application
With an active window showing the weather application you can
customize the configuration to suit your particular method of working.
Although you will probably only need to do this the first time you use the
weather application, you are able to make changes at any time you want
to. Any changes are retained by the system even when powered Off.
To configure your weather application:
1. Press MENU . The Set up dialog box appears.
