Electrical and radio frequency interference
This unit conforms to the appropriate Electromagnetic
Compatibility (EMC) regulations. To ensure that the EMC
performance is not compromised, the following guidelines apply:
• Separate battery used for the vessel engine.
• Minimum 1 m (3 ft) between the device, the device's cables and
any transmitting equipment or cables with radio signals.
• Minimum 2 m (7 ft) between the device, the device's cables and
the SSB radio.
• More than 2 m (7 ft) between the device, the device's cables and
the radar beam.
WiFi
It is important to test the WiFi performance before the location of
the unit is decided.
Construction material (steel, aluminum, or carbon) and heavy
structure might affect WiFi performance.
The following guidelines apply:
• Select a location where there is a clear, direct line of sight
between WiFi connected units.
• Keep the distance between WiFi units as short as possible.
• Mount the WiFi unit at least 1 m (3 ft) away from:
- Other WiFi enabled products.
- Products that send wireless signals in the same frequency
range.
- Equipment that might generate interference.
Compass safe distance
The unit outputs electromagnetic interference that can cause
inaccurate readings on a nearby compass. To prevent compass
inaccuracy the unit must be mounted far enough away so the
interference does not affect compass readings. For minimum
compass safe distance, refer to
"Technical specifications"
on page 55.
