SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING
CAUTION
NOTICE
Safety Instructions for the Operator
Do not open the equipment.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
Do not disassemble or modify the equipment.
Fire, electrical shock or serious injury can result.
Immediately turn off the power at the switchboard if the equipment is emitting smoke or fire.
Continued use of the equipment can cause fire or electrical shock. Contact a FURUNO agent for service.
Do not maneuver the vessel based on the depth indication alone.
Grounding may result.
Use the proper fuse.
Do no turn on the equipment with the transducer out of water.
The transducer may be damaged.
The picture is not refreshed when picture advancement is stopped.
Maneuvering the vessel in this condition may result in a dangerous situation.
Use the proper gain setting.
Incorrect gain may produce wrong depth indication, possibly resulting in a dangerous situation.
The data presented by this equipment is intended as a source of navigation information.
The prudent navigator never relies exclusively on any one source of navi­gation information, for safety of vessel and crew.
Fuse rating is shown on the equipment. Use of a wrong fuse can result in damage to the equipment.
About the TFT LCD
The TFT LCD is constructed using the latest LCD techniques, and displays
99.99% of its pixels. The remaining 0.01% of the pixels may drop out or blink, however this is not an indication of malfunction.
A warning label is attached to the equipment. Do not remove the label. If the label is missing or damaged, contact a FURUNO agent or dealer about replacement.
WARNING
To avoid electrical shock, do not remove cover. No user-serviceable parts inside.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Safety Instructions for the Installer
WARNING
Turn off the power at the switchboard before beginning the installation.
Fire or electrical shock can result if the power is left on.
Be sure no water leaks in at the trans­ducer or sensor mounting location.
Water leakage can sink the vessel. Also confirm that the transducer and sensor will not loosen by ship's vibration. The installer of the equipment is solely responsible for the proper installation of the equipment. FURUNO will assume no responsibility for any damage associated with improper installation.
Use the specified power cable.
Use of other power cable may result in fire.
CAUTION
Do not install the equipment where air bubbles and noise are present.
Performance will be affected.
The following are guidelines for handling of the transducer cable.
- Keep fuels and oils away from the cable.
- Locate it in a safe place.
- Do no paint the cable.
The sheath of the cable is made of chloroprene rubber (or polychloride vinyl). For this reason do not paint the cable.
Do not turn on the equipment with the transducer out of water.
The transducer may be damaged.
Observe the following compass safe distances to prevent interference to a magnetic compass:

FOREWORD

A Word to FCV-620/585 Owners
Congratulations on your choice of the FURUNO FCV-620/585 Color LCD Sounder. We are confident you will see why the FURUNO name has become synonymous with quality and reliability.
For over 60 years FURUNO Electric Com­pany has enjoyed an enviable reputation for innovative and dependable marine elec­tronics equipment. This dedication to excel­lence is furthered by our extensive global network of agents and dealers.
This equipment is designed and constructed to meet the rigorous demands of the marine environment. However, no machine can per­form its intended function unless operated and maintained properly. Please carefully read and follow the recommended proce­dures for operation and maintenance.
We would appreciate hearing from you, the end user, about whether we are achieving our purposes.
Thank you for considering and purchasing FU R UN O eq ui p me n t.
Features
The FURUNO FCV-620/585 is a dual frequency (50 kHz and 200 kHz) Color LCD Sounder. Comprised of a display unit and a transducer, the FCV-620 displays underwater conditions on a 5.6-inch color LCD and the FCV-585 on an 8.4-inch color LCD.
The main features of the FCV-620/585 are
• Bright color LCD gives excellent readability even in broad daylight.
• Waterproof construction permits installa­tion on open bridge.
• Automatic function being available on detecting fish school and bottom at both shallow and deep depth permits best dis­play.
• User-programmable nav data displays pro­vide analog and digital nav data.
• Alarms: Bottom, Fish (bottom lock and normal), Speed, Water Temperature and Arrival. (Speed, arrival and water tempera­ture alarms require appropriate sensor.)
• White line feature helps discriminate fish lying near the bottom.
• Destination waypoint feature provides range, bearing, and time-to-go to destina­tion waypoint (up to 20 waypoints).

bottom conditions. The lower the frequency of the signal, the wider the detection area. There­fore, the 50 kHz frequency is useful for general

detection and judging bottom condition.
High frequency (200 kHz)
The higher the frequency of the ultrasonic signal, the better the resolution. For this reason the 200 kHz frequency is ideal for detailed observation of fish schools.

1.10 Choosing Picture Advance Speed

The picture advance speed determines how quickly the vertical scan lines run across the screen. When choosing a picture advance speed, keep in mind that a fast advance speed will expand the size of the fish school horizon­tally on the screen and a slow advance speed will contract it. A fast advance speed is useful for observing the rugged bottom minutely. A slow advance speed is useful for observing the smooth bottom.
