Chapter 4: Fault-finding & Maintenance
All Raymarine products are designed to provide many years of
trouble-free operation. We also put them through comprehensive
testing and quality assurance procedures before shipping.
Regular checks
CAUTION:
The GyroPlus 2 unit and fluxgate compass do NOT contain user-
serviceable parts. They should be serviced only by authorized
Raymarine service technicians.
On a regular basis:
•
check that all connections and mountings are secure/undamaged
•
check the system components for any signs of physical damage or
water damage
Note:
Do
not

GyroPlus 2 unit cover or fluxgate compass case. If they are dirty,
wipe them with a clean, damp cloth.
