PRECAUTIONS

RDANGER: A transducer MUST BE installed

by a shipbuilder or a qualifi ed installer.
Improper installation could cause water leaks and
other severe damage.

RWARNING: NEVER let metal, wire or other

objects touch any internal part or terminals of the fi sh
fi nder.
This may result in an electric shock.

RWARNING: NEVER apply AC voltage to the

DC input terminals of the fi sh fi nder.
This may pose a fire hazard, result in an electric
shock or damage the fi sh fi nder.

RWARNING: NEVER apply more than 32 V

DC to the DC input terminal of the fi sh fi nder.
This may pose a fi re hazard or damage the fi sh fi nder.

R WARNING: Immediately turn the Icom

MarineCommander™ system and fish finder power
OFF, and remove the power cable if it emits an
abnormal odor, sound or smoke. Contact your Icom
dealer or distributor for advice.

RWARNING: NEVER touch the fi sh fi nder with

wet hands.
This may result in an electric shock or damage the
fi sh fi nder.

RWARNING: NEVER open the bottom cover

of the fi sh fi nder by yourself. This should only be done
by qualifi ed equipment installers.
There are no user adjustment points. Opening the
case may expose you to electric shock and incorrect
reassembly may cause a fi re hazard.

DO NOT place the fish finder in excessively dusty

environments.

DO NOT place the fish finder near heating

equipment or in direct sunlight or where hot or cold air
blows directly onto it.

DO NOT use or place the fish finder in areas with

temperature below –20˚C (–4˚F) or above +60˚C
(+140˚F).

DO NOT use chemical agents such as benzine

or alcohol when cleaning the fish finder, as they can
damage the fi sh fi nder’s surfaces.
To clean the equipment, wipe it using a soft cloth
damped with a water-diluted detergent.

DO NOT place the fish finder in areas that will

block air passage or put anything around the fish
fi nder. This will obstruct heat dissipation.

KEEP the fi sh fi nder out of the reach of children.

KEEP the fish finder away from heavy rain, and

never immerse it in the water.
The fish finder meets IPX4 requirements for splash
resistance when the transducer is attached to one
connector, and the connector cap is installed on the
other connector.
However, if it is dropped, splash resistance cannot be
guaranteed because of possible damage to the case
or the waterproof seals.

RWARNING: NEVER modify or attempt to

repair the equipment by yourself.
ONLY qualified persons are allowed to modify or
repair the equipment.

CAUTION! NEVER connect the fi sh fi nder to a

DC power source using reverse polarity.
This will damage the fi sh fi nder.

CAUTION! NEVER remove the fuse holders

from the DC power cable.
This will damage the fi sh fi nder.

CAUTION! KEEP the fi sh fi nder at least 1 meter

(3.28 ft) away from your vessel’s magnetic navigation
compass.
