Safety instructions
Please respect all instructions of this manual.
All texts marked with this symbol should have your
particular attention.
They are indications of particular importance for the
operation of the system and for your safety.
The use of the compass system does not relieve you of the responsibili-
ty for your ship, and requires good seamanship.
Always rely on your nautical experience for the interpretation of the indi-
cated values.
Safety Instructions concerning the installation:
The compass system should be installed by your shipyard or by a spe-
cialist.
Use adequate working clothes if you install it yourself. Avoid loose clo-
thing. Use a hair net if you have long hair. Clothing and hair may be
caught by moving parts.
Remove all metallic or electrically conducting jewelry, such as chains,
bracelets, rings, etc. when working on the on-board electrical system.
Disconnect the minus polarity of the battery before starting your work to
prevent the risk of a short-circuit. Short-circuits can cause harness fires,
battery explosions and damages of other electronic memory systems.
Please note that all volatile electronic memories will lose their contents,
and will have to be re-programmed if you disconnect the battery.
VDO instruments are not equipped with volatile memories.
Risk of explosion! Run the engine blower for a certain time before star-
ting work in a gasoline engine compartment.
Check for sufficient clearance behind the mounting hole when selecting
the location for the indicating instrument. Pre-drill the hole and finish with
hole or keyhole saw (respect the safety instructions of the tool manufac-
turer).
