AQUAMAP™ 10x2/12x2 SERIES

Radar

WARNING

The marine radar transmits microwave energy that has the potential to

be harmful to humans and animals. Before beginning radar transmission,

verify that the area around the radar is clear. The radar transmits a beam

approximately 12° above and below a line extending horizontally from the

center of the radar.
When the radar is transmitting, do not look directly at the antenna at close

range; eyes are the most sensitive part of the body to electromagnetic

energy.
When you connect your compatible AQUAMAP to an optional Garmin marine

radar, such as a GMR™ Fantom™ 6 radar or a GMR 24 xHD, you can view

more information about your surroundings.

The radar transmits a narrow beam of microwave energy as it rotates to a

360° pattern. When the transmitted energy contacts a target, some of that

energy is reflected back to the radar.

Transmitting Radar Signals

NOTE:

As a safety feature, the radar enters standby mode after it warms

up. This gives you an opportunity to verify the area around the radar is clear

before beginning radar transmission.

With the AQUAMAP off, connect your radar as described in the radar

installation instructions.

Turn on the AQUAMAP.

If necessary, the radar warms up and a countdown alerts you when the

radar is ready.

Select

A countdown message appears while the radar is starting up.
