961 Operations and Reference Manual Rev. D
you've installed 10 charts, you'll have one ARCS license, one
user permit, and 10 chart permits; if you've installed 100
charts, you'll have one ARCS license, one user permit, and 100
chart permits, and so on. All three of these essential compo-
nents are interrelated and know about each other. If any of
them is wrong, outdated, or damaged, the chart won't be view-
able.
Two levels of ARCS chart licensing are available: the Navigator
series or the Skipper series. The 961 can use either one, but
not both at the same time. You can always switch from one
service to the other, however, this involves re-purchasing the
charts.
Understanding the ARCS Navigator series
The ARCS Navigator series is the purchase of a 12-month sub-
scription to one or more charts. On a weekly basis, the UKHO
sends you a single Update CD with all of the current correc-
tions to all ARCS charts worldwide. The entire world is covered
on 11 ARCS chart CDs (each one covers a specific region), but
it takes only one Update CD to provide worldwide chart
updates!
The major benefit of using the Navigator series is that the
charts are always up-to-date; as long as you update your
charts regularly, your chart information should never be more
than a week or two old at any given time. Automatic weekly
Update CDs are cumulative, so all corrections from earlier
weeks are included on the Update CD, just in case you didn't
install the Update CD from a previous week.
With the 12-month Navigator license, first the 961 warns you
one month before your license will expire; next, the 961 warns
you throughout the month of expiration by displaying an
error message; and finally the 961 warns you for one month
after your license has expired (during this time you can't
update your charts) by displaying an error message. After that
month ends, you won't be able to view any ARCS charts.
Understanding the ARCS Skipper series
The ARCS Skipper series is a one-time purchase of one or more
charts, which reflects all the chart corrections that were avail-
