ii	C-Series Display Reference Manual

WARNING:Fishfinder sounder module

Removing the transducer cable from the rear of the fishfinder sounder module whilst it is switched on can cause sparks. Only remove the transducer cable after power has been switched off. Ensure that the sounder module is mounted where it is well ventilated and in an area free from flammable vapors.

CAUTION: Water Ingress

To prevent the ingress of water and consequent damage to the display, ensure that the chart card door is firmly closed. This can be confirmed by an audible click.

CAUTION: CompactFlash Cards

•Removing the CompactFlash card whilst information is being written to or read from it may cause damage to the card and loss of all data. Use the proper procedure detailed on page 18 to remove the card.

•Do not save data (waypoints, routes etc.) to a Navionics card as the charts may be overwritten. When archiving use a different CompactFlash card.

•DO NOT use a metallic instrument such as a screwdriver or pliers to help you remove a card, as doing this can cause irreparable damage.

CAUTION: Global Positioning System Antenna

Do not connect or disconnect the GPS antenna from the display unit whilst power is switched on. Doing this may result in irreparable damage.
