Solar Powered: your Maxi Display is powered for life by the Sun. The

innovative technology uses so little current and the power supply is so

efficient, that the Maxi display is independent from your boat's batteries.

Wireless: your Tactick displays communicate by wireless, they can be

sited anywhere on your boat without disruption or cables.

Dedicated to Performance

Optimise your start: the Maxi Display's powerful functions for Distance

and Speed-Trim to the line, Line Bias and Race Timer help you get the

best possible start.

Enhance your performance with the built-in function for Wind Shift and

indicators for Accelerations and Trends.

Simplify your tidal navigation with the Maxi Display's Set, Drift, Turn

and Course to Steer functions.

Easy to Manage

Automatic data selection: the innovative Auto Leg function allows the

display to automatically show the information you need for each leg of

the course.

Page Hiding means you can avoid data duplication on different

displays, minimising the time to select the pages you really need.

Wireless Remote control: your Maxi display can be

controlled and configured from anywhere in the boat

using a Tacktick Remote display.

Excellent visibility

The large, high contrast LCD gives the Maxi Display a wide angle of

view and ensures excellent visibility from anywhere on your boat.

The black background minimises disturbance to your night vision, and

the red/amber option allows you to choose the backlight colour of your

2.4 Chapter and Page operation

Data is shown on the Maxi Display in Chapters, each containing

several pages of related data. The diagram on page 13 shows the

full set of chapters and data pages available.

For a detailed description of individual data items supported on the

Micronet network, see the Micronet Data user guide on your

product CD or on the Tacktick web site.

Selecting Chapters and Pages:

Use to scroll through the chapters and and to move

between the pages within a chapter.

Pressing at any time will move on to the next Chapter and on

scrolling through the Chapters the page last selected in that

Chapter will be displayed. Both Chapter and Page selection will

scroll back to the first page once a cycle has been completed.

Pages for which no data is available are displayed as dashes (- - -)

2.5 Power Management and Battery Life

What makes your Maxi display possible is Tacktick's revolutionary

approach to power management. By reducing the amount of power

being used by the electronics and maximizing the potential of the

sun to provide power, the Maxi display becomes a virtually

perpetual device.

Power status is indicated by two icons on the display:

Battery Level and Charge Rate

Used together these icons will show the condition of the power

supply.

Note: If the internal battery is fully charged then it does not matter

how much the display is subjected to bright sunlight no further

charging is required and the Charge Rate Indicator will remain low.

If the displays are to be stored for a long period of time before next

use (Over Winter) ensure that the batteries are fully charged before

storage.

Warning: Artificial light WILL NOT recharge the battery. Placing your

Maxi Display close to an artificial light will seriously damage the

display. Only recharge in natural daylight.

2.6 Backlighting

At any stage of the display's operation press and hold for two

seconds to access the lighting control.

Pressing and will scroll through setting OFF, 1, 2

and 3 whilst changing the backlighting.

If using the displays at night, power usage can be reduced

dramatically by switching the Backlighting to level 1 or 2. To

save power, it is recommended that backlighting Level 3 is

used only in dusk conditions.

The Maxi Display can be configured to use either red or amber

backlighting (see page 21). Tacktick recommend that red backlighting is

used whenever possible as this uses less battery power.

Backlighting is automatically switched off in daylight as part of the

display's power saving feature and will not operate in daylight.

2.7 Sleep Mode

If there is no boat speed or change in heading registered on the system

for a period of 12 hours your Maxi display will switch off to conserve

power. A "POWER SAVE" alarm will sound before the system switches

off. Pressing any button within 10 seconds of the alarm sounding will

allow the system to remain switched on.

3 Performance Functions of the Maxi Display

3.1 Automatic Pages

You probably want a different page shown on your Maxi Display for each

leg of the course.

The Maxi display makes this easy by providing a special page: the

AUTO LEG page. Using this feature, you can programme your Maxi

Display to show exactly the information you require for each leg of the

course without the need to manually change pages at each mark

rounding.

For example, consider a boat with three Maxi Displays on a mast

bracket. It may be decided that during the start the data required is

Depart, Line Bias and Race Timer; for the windward leg Boat Speed,

VMG to Windward and Wind Shift; and downwind Boat Speed, VMG

to Waypoint and True Wind Direction. Programming these pages into

the Autoleg page prior to the race would automatically show these

pages for the appropriate leg of the course; leaving the tactician free to

concentrate on the race, not on configuring his instruments.

The legs and the pages displayed can be configured in setup to meet

your specific needs, see page 19.

Similarly, using the Page Hiding function to eliminate duplicate pages

across the three displays reduces the time and key presses required if

a manual reconfiguration of the data displayed becomes necessary.

Note: It is a good idea to programme the remote control display list of

your Remote Display to show your Maxi Displays in the same order as

their physical location on the boat. See the Remote Display user guide.

Performance Functions

3.2 Optimising your start with the Maxi Display

The Maxi display provides three functions to help you get a great start:

The Depart page shows your distance from the start line and how

much faster (or slower) you must sail to hit the line at the start signal.

The Race Timer gives you a visual and audible count down.

The Line Bias page helps you choose the best position on the line.

Using the Depart page

Approaching the start, it is vital to know your distance from

the line and whether you will arrive before or after the signal.

The large digits show your distance from the nearest point

on the line in distance units or boat-lengths (see page 22).

Note: A negative distance shows that the boat is to windward of the start

line, not that the boat is on the course side of the line; i.e. for a downwind

start, a negative distance shows you are approaching the line correctly.

The small digits show the change in speed required for you to arrive at

the line at the signal; a negative value means that you must decrease

your speed to avoid arriving early.

Warning: These calculations rely on GPS data, so they are subject to

error, particularly as the distance from the line becomes small. Do not rely

on this information to determine if you are over the line at the start. Rather,

you should use the data to help optimise your approach to the line.

Note: Before using the Depart function, you must configure the Boat

Length and GPS Bow parameters in setup; see page 22.

Initialising the Depart page

With the depart page displayed, approach one end of the start line as if

starting; press when the bow touches the line. A popup page shows

that the first line position has been captured. Repeat at the other end of

the line. The popup shows the second line position has been captured.

Maxi Display

8www.tacktick.com

Note: The line for Depart calculations is between the positions you set.

Set your points as close to the ends of the actual start line as possible.

Modifying the start line points

If it is necessary to modify one of the points, press while at the

correct location; the popup will show that position 1 has been captured.

Pressing or while the popup is visible will allow you to set the

captured location to position 2. or to discard it (-).

Note: the position is captured at the moment is pressed.

Starting and Start Line Bias

When the starting line is laid at exactly

right angles to the wind, the distance

sailed to the windward mark is the same

wherever the boat starts on the start line.

In real racing there is often a favoured end

to the line. If you start at the favoured end,

you are upwind and therefore ahead of a

boat starting at the other end of the

line.The larger the Line Bias angle, the

more you can gain from starting at the

favoured end of the line. The diagram shows how this works in practice.

Your Maxi Display can calculate and display the Line Bias angle and the

favoured end of the line.

To initialise the line bias display

Go to the Line Bias page, Sail directly along the start line,

then press . The Line Bias angle and the favoured end

of the start line are displayed. The line bias display is

continually updated taking account of wind shifts that may

occur during the pre-start period.

Using the Start Timer

The most convenient way to operate the race timer is to use

the Timer Page of the Remote Display. Once started the

countdown is available on all displays. See the Remote

Display user guide for details of operating the race timer.
