INTENDED USE

Thedisplayunitsdetailedin this handbook may form part ofnavigational radarsystemsintendedfor light marine use. These displaysandradar systems are only an aid to navigation.

SAFETY NOTICES

Thisradarequipmentmust be installed and operated in accordance with the instructionscontainedinthismanual.Failuretodosocan result in personal injuryand/ornavigationalinaccuracies.In particular:

1.HIGH VOLTAGE.TheLCD display unit and scanner unitcontain highvoltages.Adjustmentsrequirespecializedservice proceduresand toolsonlyavailabletoqualifiedservicetechnicians–therearenouser serviceablepartsoradjustments.Theoperatorshouldnever removethe displayunitcoveror attempt to service the equipment.

2.ELECTROMAGNETIC ENERGY. Theradar scannertransmits electromagneticenergy. It is important that the radar is turned off whenever personnelarerequiredtocomecloseto the scanner to perform work on the scannerassemblyorassociatedequipment.

Itisrecommendedthatthe radar scanner is mountedoutofrangeofpersonnel (aboveheadheight).

Avoid lookingdirectlyattheantennaasyoureyesarethemostsensitivepartof thebodyto electromagneticenergy.

Providing Heading Data forMARPA

TheperformanceofMARPA is dependent on the quality of your heading sensor.
