IMPORTANT NOTICE

This device is only an aid to navigation. Its accuracy can be
affected by many factors, including equipment failure or defects,
environmental conditions and improper handling or use.

It is the user’s responsibility to exercise common prudence and
navigational judgement, and this device should not be relied upon
as a substitute for such prudence and judgement.

1. EMC Installation & Service Guidelines

All Raytheon equipment and accessories are designed to the best
industry standards for use in the leisure marine environment.

Their design and manufacture conforms to the appropriate
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) standards, but correct
installation is essential to maintain EMC performance and CE
compliance. Although every effort has been taken to ensure that they
will perform under all conditions, it is important to understand what
factors could affect the operation of the product.

Installation

All Raytheon equipment and cables connected to it should be;

• At least 1m (3ft) from any equipment transmitting or cables carrying
radio signals eg. VHF radios, cables and antennas. In the case of
SSB radios, the distance should be increased to 2m (7ft).

• More than 2m (7ft) from the path of a radar beam.

• The equipment should be supplied from a different battery than the
one used for engine start. Voltage drops below 10.7V in the power
supply to our products can cause the equipment to reset. This will
not damage the equipment, but may cause the loss of some
information and can change the operating mode.

• Genuine Raytheon cables should be used at all times. Cutting and
rejoining these cables can compromise EMC performance and so
should be avoided unless doing so is detailed in the installation
manual.

Check Before Going to Sea

• Always check the installation before going to sea to make sure that it
is not affected by radio transmissions, engine starting etc.

• In some installations, it may not be possible to prevent the
equipment from being affected by external influences. In general
this will not damage the equipment but can lead to it resetting, or
momentarily may result in faulty operation.

Servicing and Safety

• This product contains no user servicable parts.

• Raytheon equipment should be serviced only by authorised
Raytheon service engineers. They will ensure that service
procedures and replacement parts used will not affect performance.
There are no user serviceable parts in any Raytheon product.

• Always report any EMC related problem to your nearest Raytheon
dealer. We will use any such information to improve our quality
standards.
