For radar unit:
R
WARNING! NEVER
let metal, wire or other
objects touch any internal part or terminals of the radar
unit. This may result in an electric shock.
R
WARNING! NEVER
apply AC voltage to the
DC input terminals of the radar unit. This may pose a
fire hazard, result in an electric shock or damage the
radar unit.
R
WARNING! NEVER
apply more than 32 V DC
to the DC input terminal of the radar unit. This may
pose a fire hazard or damage the radar unit.
R
WARNING! NEVER
touch the radar unit with
wet hands. This may result in an electric shock or dam-
age the radar unit.
R
WARNING! NEVER
open the bottom cover of
the radar unit. There are no user adjustment points.
This may result in an electric shock and incorrect reas-
sembly may cause a fire hazard.
CAUTION: NEVER
connect the radar unit to a DC
power source using reverse polarity. This will damage
the radar unit.
CAUTION: NEVER
remove the fuse holder from
the DC power cable. This will damage the radar unit.
DO NOT
place the radar unit in excessively dusty
environments.
DO NOT
place the radar unit near heating equip-
ment or in direct sunlight or where hot or cold air blows
directly onto it.
DO NOT
use or place the radar unit in areas with tem-
perature below –20˚C (–4˚F) or above +60˚C (+140˚F).
DO NOT
use chemical agents such as benzine or
alcohol when cleaning the radar unit, as they can
damage the radar unit’s surfaces.
DO NOT
place the radar unit in areas that will block
air passage or put anything around the radar unit. This

the radar unit out of the reach of children.
KEEP
the radar unit away from heavy rain, and never
immerse it in the water.
The radar unit meets IPX4 requirements for splash re-
sistance when the supplied connection cable, scanner
unit are connected.
However, if it is dropped, splash resistance cannot be
guaranteed because of possible damage to the case
or the waterproof seals.
For Scanner unit:
R
DANGER: HIGH VOLTAGE! NEVER
open
the scanner unit. The scanner unit contains high volt-
age that could be fatal. And there are no user adjust-
ment points. All repairs and adjustments
MUST be
made by a qualified electronics technician at your
Marine Navigation Dealer.
For qualified electronics technician only:
R
DANGER: HIGH VOLTAGE!
High volt-
ages of up to 3,500 volts are used in the scanner
unit. Although prudent measures for safety have
been adopted, sufficient care must be taken in
the operation, maintenance and adjustment of the
scanner unit.
Electric shock of 1,000 volts or more may cause
electrocution and death; even an electric shock of
only 100 volts may be fatal.
R
DANGER: HIGH VOLTAGE!
To prevent an
electric shock, turn the radar’s power is OFF* 1 and
do not reach inside the scanner unit until you have:
• discharged the capacitors by disconnecting the system
cable from the radar unit for 5 min.
• checked that no electric charges remain inside the de-
vice.

(+158˚F).
NEVER
immerse the scanner unit in the water.
The scanner units meet IPX6*
2
requirements for high-
pressure water jet resistance.
However, if these items are dropped, high-pressure
water jet resistance cannot be guaranteed because
of possible damage to the cases or the waterproof
seals.
*
