Aligning Heading with Gyrocompass

With connection of a gyrocompass, ship's heading is displayed at the right side
of the screen. Turn on the radar and match the on-screen GYRO readout with
the gyrocompass reading as shown below. Once you have set the initial heading
correctly, resetting is not usually required. This alignment is not necessary for
the FURUNO SC-60/120 Satellite Compass.

1. Right-click the HDG box at the top right corner of the screen.
