Warnings and Cautions
The GPS system is operated by the United States government
which is solely responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. The
system is subject to changes which could affect the accuracy and
performance of all GPS equipment. Although the Garmin Rino
520/530 is a precision electronic NAVigation AID (NAVAID), any
NAVAID can be misused or misinterpreted and, therefore, become
unsafe.
The electronic chart is an aid to navigation and is designed to
facilitate the use of authorized government charts, not replace
them. Only official government charts and notices to mariners
contain all information needed for safe navigation—and, as
always, the user is responsible for their prudent use.
Use the Rino 520/530 at your own risk. To reduce the risk of
unsafe operation, carefully review and understand all aspects
of this
Owner’s Manual
. When in actual use, carefully compare
indications from the Rino 520/530 to all available navigation
sources, including the information from other NAVAIDs, visual
sightings, charts, etc. For safety, always resolve any discrepancies
before continuing navigation.
WARNING:
The Rino 520/530 contains a lithium-ion
rechargeable battery pack. The battery used in this device may
present a risk of fire or chemical burn if mistreated. Do not
disassemble, heat above 140°F (60°C), or incinerate.
WARNING:
If the original battery pack must be replaced, dispose
of the used battery properly. Contact your local waste disposal
department for information on proper disposal of lithium-ion
batteries. Keep used batteries away from children. Do not
disassemble or dispose of batteries in fire.
MAP DATA INFORMATION:
One of the goals of Garmin
is to provide customers with the most complete and accurate
cartography that is available to us at a reasonable cost. We use a
combination of governmental and private data sources, which we
identify (as required) in product literature and copyright messages
displayed to the consumer. Virtually all data sources contain
inaccurate or incomplete data to some degree. This is particularly
true outside the United States, where complete and accurate digital
data is either not available or prohibitively expensive.
