NTRODUCTION
Failure to avoid the following potentially hazardous situations
may result in injury or property damage.
Use the GPS 17 only as a navigational aid. Do not attempt to use
the GPS 17 for any purpose requiring precise measurement of
direction, distance, location, or topography. This product should
not be used to determine ground proximity for aircraft navigation.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the United
States government, which is solely responsible for its accuracy
and maintenance. The government’s system is subject to changes
which could affect the accuracy and performance of all GPS
equipment, including the GPS 17. Although the GPS 17 is a
precision navigation device, any navigation device can be misused
or misinterpreted and, therefore, become unsafe.
Caution
Failure to avoid the following potentially hazardous situations
could result in an accident or collision resulting in death or
serious injury.
When navigating, carefully compare information received from the
GPS 17 to all available navigation sources, including information
from street signs, visual sightings, and maps. For safety, always
resolve any discrepancies or questions before continuing
navigation.
Use an electronic chart in conjunction with the GPS 17 only to
facilitate, not to replace, the use of authorized government charts.
Official government charts and notices to mariners contain all
information needed to navigate safely.
