FCC INFORMATION

For CLASS A UNINTENTIONAL RADIATORS

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.

CAUTION: NEVER immerse the GPS receiver in water. The GPS receiver meets IPX6 requirements for high-pressure water jet resistance. However, once it has been dropped, high-pressure water jet resistance cannot be guaranteed because of possible damage to its case or the waterproof seal.

DO NOT use or place the GPS receiver in areas with temperatures below –20°C (–4°F) or above +60°C (+140°F).

DO NOT use chemical agents such as benzine or alcohol when cleaning, as they can damage the GPS receiver’s surfaces.

The GPS receiver is only for the specified Icom equipment such as MarineCommander™ or MA-500TR

! —Other manufacturer’s equipment may have different pin assignments and can damage the equipment or GPS receiver if attached.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

ABOUT CE

CE Versions of the MXG-5000 which display the “CE” symbol on

the serial number seal, comply with the essential requirements of the European Radio and Telecommunication Terminal Di rective 1999/5/EC.

CAUTION: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the par ty responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

This warning symbol indicates that this equipment operates in non-

harmonised frequency bands and/ or may be subject to licensing conditions in the country of use. Be sure to check that you have the correct version of this radio or the correct pro gramming of this radio, to comply with na tional licensing requirement.

MOUNTING

ATTENTION

ï Mounting locations

The GPS receiver should be mounted in a location that has a clear, unobstructed view in all directions and as far away from interfer-

ence as possible, for the best reception. When

selecting a mounting location, follow the guidelines below.

- The location should be at least 1 m (3.28 ft.) away from a VHF/UHF antenna, and 4 m (13.12 ft.) away from a MF/HF antenna.

- The location should be at least 5 m (16.40 ft.) away from an Inmarsat antenna.

ï Installation

Hose clamps (Supplied)

- Be sure the location is out of the radar beam.

- Be sure the location will not be shaded by a random antenna or mast.

- Mount the GPS receiver as high as possible.

We recommend that you place the GPS receiver in the desired location temporarily, and see if it receives any interference.

The supplied extension pipe is to be inserted firmly into the base of the GPS receiver and screwed in a clockwise direction.

Using the supplied hose clamps, the GPS receiver can be stabilized to the mounting mast.

About calculating position

The GPS receiver acquires signals from GPS satellites. It calculates its position by the orbit information of the GPS satellites and needs to measure the distance between itself and three or more GPS satellites to obtain a reliable position. The GPS receiver acquires all available satellit es w hen it is powered up. Normally, it takes approximately 1 minute for determining a position.

In places where the GPS signals cannot reach the GPS receiver, such as around tall buildings, it may show position errors (misplacement) or no position reading at all.

As the satellites are continuously moving, measur ement of the position or time by the GPS receiver may take a while, and/or no position reading can be made in some instances. Even if the GPS receiver acquires signals from three or more GPS satellites, it may take a longer time to determine a position depending on the satellite locations.

Location precision

The GPS receiver automatically calculates its position when it acquires signals from three or more GPS satellites.

The GPS satellite’s measurement error is about ±10 meters, however this can vary up to several hundred meters, depending on the surrounding environment.

The GPS information and its accuracy varies, depending on the GPS system being acquired, place and time.

About NMEA sentence

When the current position data cannot be received due to the GPS signal be ing blocked by something, the GPS receiver sends the last memorized NMEA sentence, but the sentence may include invalid data.
