FOREWORD
Congratulations on your choice of the FURUNO AR-100M AR Navigation System. We are confi-
dent you will see why the FURUNO name has become synonymous with quality and reliability.
Since 1948, FURUNO Electric Company has enjoyed an enviable reputation for quality marine
electronics equipment. This dedication to excellence is furthered by our extensive global network
of agents and dealers.
This equipment is designed and constructed to meet the rigorous demands of the marine environ-
ment. However, no machine can perform its intended function unless operated and maintained
properly. Please carefully read and follow the recommended procedures for operation and main-
tenance.
We would appreciate hearing from you, the end-user, about whether we are achieving our goal.
Thank you for considering and purchasing FURUNO equipment.
Cyber Security Notes
Keep in mind the following points to protect the AR navigation system from viruses.
• The AR navigation system is equipped with anti-virus software. The virus definitions and related
files must be kept up-to-date. The operator is solely responsible for updating the virus definition.
For how to update the virus definitions, see section 3.10.
• The PC and USB flash memory used to download and store an update file (for user chart file,
virus definition, etc.) may be infected with a virus. Check the PC and the USB flash memory for
viruses with a virus checker BEFORE you connect the USB flash memory to the AR navigation
system.
• The main PC must be located in a high physical security area.
• DO NOT connect the AR navigation system and HUB-3000 to an external network, including
other shipborne LAN.
