SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

iii

Properly adjust the gain.

Too little gain may present no picture. 
Too much gain shows excessive noise 
on the picture. Using the depth data 
for navigation when the gain is incorrectly 
set can lead to a dangerous situation.

The data presented by this equipment 
is intended as a source of navigation 
information.

The prudent navigator never relies 
exclusively on any one source of navi- 
gation information, for safety of vessel 
and crew.

CAUTION

CAUTION

Do not transmit with the transducer 
out of water.

The transducer will be damaged.

Do not use depth information for 
navigation while the picture advance
speed is set to "stop".

The depth indication is not refreshed 
while the picture is stopped. Use of 
depth data for navigation in this case 
could lead to grounding or other 
dangerous situation. 

Do not handle the LCD's panel 
roughly; it is made of glass.

Injury can result if the glass breaks.
