Warning: Switch off power
supply
Ensure the vessel’s power supply is
switched OFF before starting to install this
product. Do NOT connect or disconnect
equipment with the power switched on,
unless instructed in this document.
Warning: Chassis grounding
Do NOT ground this product using the
chassis ground terminal.
Grounding this product to a vessel’s RF
ground may cause galvanic corrosion.
Warning: Antenna isolation
To prevent galvanic corrosion your antenna
must be isolated from any vessel metalwork
using a suitable insulated e.g. plastic,
mounting bracket.
Warning: Protect unused
cables
Unused cables and wires should be
protected from water ingress and from
making contact with metal that may be
grounded.
• If supplied, use protective boots to ensure
that cables that are not connected are
protected.
• NEVER leave bare ended wires
uncovered/unprotected as this could
cause a short circuit and can induce
galvanic corrosion.
Warning: FCC Warning (Part
15.21)
Changes or modifications to this equipment
not expressly approved in writing by
Raymarine Incorporated could violate
compliance with FCC rules and void the
user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Warning: Maximum
Permissible Exposure
Failure to observe these guidelines
may expose those within the maximum
permissible exposure (MPE) radius to
RF radiation absorption that exceeds the
FCC MPE limit. It is the radio operator’s
responsibility to ensure that no one comes
within this radius.
For optimal radio performance and minimal
human exposure to radio frequency
electromagnetic energy, make sure the
antenna is:
• connected to the radio before transmitting
• located where it will be away from people
• located at least 1.5 meters (5 feet) from
the radio’s main unit
Caution: Power supply
protection
When installing this product ensure the
power source is adequately protected by
means of a suitably-rated fuse or automatic
circuit breaker.
Caution: Perform regular radio
checks
Perform regular radio checks when using
your vessel, as recommended in radio
training and certification schemes and
radio equipment rules of use.
Caution: Ensure proper radio
use
Under no circumstances should a DSC
distress alert be sent from your radio for
test purposes. Such action is a violation of
rules of use for radio equipment, and can
result in heavy fines.
Caution: Product cleaning
When cleaning products:
• If your product includes a display screen,
do NOT wipe the screen with a dry cloth,
as this could scratch the screen coating.
• Do NOT use abrasive, or acid or
ammonia based products.
• Do NOT use a jet wash.
