SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION
No one navigational aid should be relied exclusively for the safety of
vessel and crew. The navigator has the responsibility to check all aids
available to confirm position. Electronic aids are not a substitute for
basic navigational principles and common sense.
Digital charts cannot replace official nautical charts.
Digital charts are intended as an aid to navigation. Position should always
be checked against nautical charts, as well as other aids to navigation.
Digital charts cannot replace the radar.
Digital charts can only show own ship's position relative to a chart feature
(coastline, lighthouse, etc.); they cannot show other vessels, as does the
radar. Digital charts can never replace the radar.
Handle chart/memory cards carefully.
The chart and memory cards are weak against heat and magnetic material.
Keep cards away from heat source.
Keep cards away from magnets and magnetic material.
Replace cards in their protective cases after use.

A radar map is a combination map lines and symbols whereby the user can
define and input the navigation data, route planning and monitoring data.
The radar map has the capacity of 1,500 points of mark and line. The map data
can be memorized to facilitate the repeated use on the routine navigation area.
The user can create a radar map on-real time while using the radar for
navigation or at leisure time at anchor or while the radar is not being used. Place
of a map can be made for any waterways apart from the actual own ship
location.
Note: Own ship position display requires an input from radionavigational
equipment such as a GPS receiver in accordance with the format as
defined by IEC 61162-1.

divided equally among ten targets, so there are 600 points per target. When a
track memory becomes full the oldest track is deleted to make room for the
latest.

3. MAINTENANCE (FOR TECHNICIANS)
3.2 Replacement of Battery on RP Board
The RP Board is mounted in the display unit of the FR-2805 series rad ars. For
general maintenance and trouble sho oting, therefore, refer to radar’s operator ’s
manual. The only maintenance required for the RP-25 is t he replacement of the
battery on the RP-Board.
A lithium battery on the RP Board preserves RP-25 data when power is off. The
life of the battery is about three years. W hen the radar self-test shows low
battery voltage, have the battery replaced at yo ur earliest convenience, so that
important data will not be lost.
Before replacing the battery, save data to a RAM card, if necessary.
DANGER
Be sure the battery is inserted "plus" side
Do not open the equipment.
High voltage which can shock, burn or
cause death exists inside the equipment.
Do not work inside the equipment unless
familiar with electrical circuits.
Turn off the power at the mains
switchboard before begining the
installation.
Post a sign near the switch to indicate
it should not be turned on while the
equipment is being installed.
Fire, electrical shock or serious injury
can result if the power is left on or is
applied while the equipment is being
