TFT LCD technology
Introduction
Your Raymarine sunlight
viewable marine display is
visible in direct sunlight.
The colors of the display
may seem to vary when
viewed against a colored
background or in colored
light. This is a perfectly
normal effect that will be
seen with all color liquid
crystal diplays (LCD’s).
In common with all Thin
Film Transistor (TFT)
displays, the screen may
exhibit a few (less than 20)
wrongly illuminated pixels.
These may appear as
black pixels in a light
portion of the screen, or as
colored pixels in black
areas.
Installation
It is important that your new display is installed and operated in
accordance with the instructions provided in this handbook.
Failure to do so could result in poor product performance and
may invalidate your warranty.
When planning the installation the following points must be
considered:
•Your Raymarine display is sunlight viewable and visible in
direct sunlight. Th ere are , howev er, lim itatio ns to the amou nt
of heat the display can absorb before developing problems.
•If temperatures exceed the normal temperature operating
range the display could overheat and begin to blackout due
to the limiations of TFT LCD technology.
•In order to minimze the chances of a malfunction, the
following precautions should be taken during installation:
•The display should be installed in an area where there is
proper and adequate ventilation. If it is possible to cool
the area behind the di splay , it wi ll sig nifica ntly red uce the
risk of a malfunction.
•The display should be mounted at an angle to the sun.
We do not recommend mounting the unit in a flat plane,
which increases th e surfac e area expos ed to the sun an d
leads to increased heat absorption.
•The suncover should be used when the display is not in
use.
IMPORTANT: Your Raymarine display is only waterproof from
the front. To maintain watertight integrity the display must be
flush mounted ensuring that the rear casing is enclosed in a
watertight enclosure.
Full detai ls of ins talla tion can be fo und on p age 11 in the Installation section.
