PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USE
WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could
result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result
in minor or moderate injury.
CAUTION used without the safety alert symbol indicates a potentially hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, may result in property damage.
Ensure that mains power is OFF before starting installation or servicing work. Electrical shock, fire or injury can
result if electrical power remains ON, or is switched ON, during installation or servicing work.
A potentially lethal high voltage is present and can remain for a period of time after the equipment is turned OFF.
Ensure that capacitors are discharged with an Earthed wire before starting servicing work.
Ensure that internal surfaces are no longer charged before you touch them.
To minimize accidents, wear dry cotton gloves and avoid touching equipment with both hands unless absolutely
necessary. Always work from a stable position to avoid slipping or falling onto the equipment.
The radar is intended ONLY as an aid to navigation.
The skipper must make final decisions based on all of the information sources to hand
and must not rely solely on the radar.
