SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

Do not open the equipment.

Only qualified personnel
should work inside the
equipment.

Turn off the radar power
switch before servicing the
antenna unit. Post a warn­ing sign near the switch
indicating it should not be
turned on while the antenna
unit is being serviced.

Prevent the potential risk of
being struck by the rotating
antenna and exposure to
RF radiation hazard.

Immediately turn off the power at the
switchboard if water leaks into the
equipment or something is dropped in
the equipment.

Continued use of the equipment can cause
fire or electrical shock. Contact a FURUNO
agent for service.

Do not disassemble or modify the
equipment.

Fire, electrical shock or serious injury can
result.

Do not place liquid-filled containers on
the top of the equipment.

WARNING

Keep heater away from equipment.

A heater can melt the equipment's power
cord, which can cause fire or electrical
shock.

Use the proper fuse.

Fuse rating is shown on the equipment.
Use of a wrong fuse can result in equipment
damage.

Make sure no rain or water splash leaks
into the equipment.

Fire or electrical shock can result if water
leaks in the equipment.

CAUTION

Do not use the equipment for other than
its intended purpose.

Use of the equipment as a stepping stool,
for example, can result in personal injury
or equipment damage.

No one navigation device should ever be
solely replied upon for the navigation of
a vessel.

Always confirm position against all available
aids to navigation, for safety of vessel and
crew.

Fire or electrical shock can result if a liquid
spills into the equipment.

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.

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.

WARNING

To avoid electrical shock, do not
remove cover. No user-serviceable
parts inside.
