It is necessary to go into the E-Series page setup menu and add both the 3D chartplotter and Sirius Satellite Weather pages manually. We do this on purpose so as not to overwrite any other page customizations you may have made prior to upgrading your software.
In addition to these text instructions, we also offer a video tutorial on this topic to all registered product owners. For more information and a link to the tutorial

To add 3D chartplotter, Sirius weather or any other application to an E-Series page, follow this procedure:
-
On your E-Series display, press the MENU key, and scroll down to SELECT PAGE SET using the track pad or Twist 'N Click knob. Press the track pad to the right to expand the menu.
-
There are 4 factory programmed page sets and 1 empty set (called CUSTOM). You can actually change and rename any of the 5 page sets. Highlight the page set you want to add the feature to and press the EDIT PAGE SET soft key.
-
Each page set has 5 individual pages that can be programmed with any combination of radar, chart, fishfinder, 3D, weather, engine data and more. Press the soft key underneath the page you would like to create.
-
Now you will select the layout of the page. You can choose to show only 1 application on the page or you can split it up into 2, 3 or 4 different applications. Highlight the page layout you would like and press the OK key.
-
Now you will set the applications that will appear in each window pane. Scroll up or down and highlight the application you want to appear in the pane. Here you will see choices for Chart, Radar, Fishfinder, Video, 3D Chart, Data, Engine, CDI, or Weather. As you select an application you will see it appear in the background.
If you chose a page layout with more than one pane, use the ACTIVE key to move the red highlight border from pane to pane and then select the application to go in it. On a page with more then one pane, the pane with the red border is the one being programmed.
-
When you are happy with the applications shown in each of the window press OK to save the layout. The editor returns to back to step to in these instructions. If you want to change another of the 5 pages in this page set, press the soft key underneath the page you want to edit, and follow steps 2-6 again.
-
If you are done editing pages, press cancel. You new see a page where all of the available page sets are displayed.
-
If you wish to use page set you just created simply highlight it with the track pad and press the OK key. That set of 5 pages is now loaded.
-
Press CANCEL 1 time to exit the menu and return to normal operation.
You can change between your 5 programmed pages in this page set while you are underway at any time. Simply press the PAGE key to see icons of each page on your soft keys, then press the soft key for the page you want. Or, you can double press the page key initially, then single-press it to toggle through the pages in sequence.
Using the page editor, you also have the option to rename each of the 5 page sets. Simply highlight the page set and press the RENAME PAGE SET soft. This can be useful if you have more the one person navigating the boat (e.g. each operator can have their own set of pages: Bob's Pages, Judy's Pages, Skipper's Pages, Gilligan's Pages...) or you might choose to set them up according to what "mode" you are operating in (e.g. Docking Page Set, Racing page Set, Fishing Pages Set, etc.) With the flexibility of the system, the possibilities of how you can set it up are virtually limitless.
Note: This procedure for customizing pages is applicable to both E-Series displays (E80, E120) as well as C-Series displays (C70, C80, C120), the only difference being the fact that C-Series do not offer the video or 3D chartplotter applications.
