Caution related to Equipment
Caution, high voltage inside.
High voltage that may cause severe injury or death is present. High
voltage remains in circuit even after power is turned off. High voltage
circuit has a protective cover with a warning label. Make sure to turn off
power and discharge capacitors before working on the system. Only
authorized personnel should access this circuit for repair and
maintenance.
Confirm main power is turned off before servicing the
equipment.
If power switch is turned on while working on the system, possible
severe injury or death may occur due to high voltage. Make sure main
power is off and a label “Work In Progress” is attached to the breaker
powering the system.
Caution related to dust
Inhaling dust may cause A respiratory disease. When cleaning the inside
of equipment, be careful not to inhale dust. Wearing a safety mask is
recommended.
When choosing equipment location
Do not install the equipment where it is excessively damp, humid and
under direct dripping water.
Caution related to static electricity
Static electricity may be generated from floor carpet or synthetic clothes.
Static may destroy some electronics parts of the circuit and therefore
anti-static measures should be done.

wave. It may cause harmful effect for human body due to its continuous
radiation. As International regulation says, electromagnetic waves less than
100 watt/m2 does not have a harmful effect on human bodies, but some kind
of medical devices such as heart pacemakers are sensitive even under the
low energy electromagnetic wave. Any personnel with such a device should
keep away from the electromagnetic wave generating position at all times.

Mise en garde relative aux perturbations électromagnétiques produites
par les radars de navire
L'antenne & l’émetteur des radars de navire ont un rayonnement d’ondes
électromagnétique de haute intensité. Ceci peut causer des effets nocifs pour le
corps humain en raison de son rayonnement continu. Comme la réglementation
internationale le spécifie, les ondes électromagnétiques à moins de 100 watt/m
n'ont pas un effet néfaste sur le corps humain, mais certains types d’appareils
médicaux tels que les stimulateurs cardiaques peuvent être affectes même par des
ondes électromagnétiques de faible énergie. Tout membre du personnel avec un tel
dispositif devrait se tenir à l'écart des générateurs d'ondes électromagnétiques en
tout temps.

MDC-5200/5500 Series For Your Safe Operation
Do not disassemble or modify. It may lead to trouble, fire, smoking or
electric shock. In case of trouble, contact our dealer or our company.
In case of smoke or fire, switch off the power in the boat and the power of
equipment. It may cause fire, electric shock or damage.
Caution related to remaining high voltage.
A high voltage may remain in the capacitor for several minutes after
system is powered off. Before inspecting inside, wait at least 5 minutes
after powering off or discharging the remaining electricity in an appropriate
manner. Then, start the work.
The information displayed in this unit is not provided directly for your
navigation. For your navigation, be sure to see the specified material.

Break in procedure of stored radar MDC-5200/5500 Series
Break in procedure of stored radar
Following procedure is recommended for “Break In” of the stored radar.
Otherwise the radar sometimes exhibits unstable transmitting operation
such as arcing at its initial operation after long period of storage and make
the operation more difficult.
1. Extend preheat time as long as possible (preferably 20 to 30
minutes).
2. Set the pulse width to the shortest one and start the operation.
When the operation in the shortest pulse is stable then go to
operation in longer pulse and repeat the similar step until the
operation reaches to the final pulse condition.

MDC-5200/5500 Series Used battery and radar disposal
Used battery and radar disposal
A high-energy density lithium ion battery is installed in this radar.
Improper disposal of a lithium ion battery is discouraged as the battery
has a possibility of short-circuiting. If it gets wet, the generation of heat,
explosion or ignition may occur resulting in an injury or fire.
Treatment of the used lithium ion battery
To dispose of built-in lithium ion battery (CR2032) in this radar, insulate each terminal with tape, and
wrap in plastic bag.
The disposal and collection rules may be different depending on each municipal district. Obey the
directions of each district.
Disposal of this radar
This radar shall be disposed according to the municipal regulations or rules.
