INTENDED USE
The display units detailed in this handbook may form part of navigational 
radar systems intended for light marine use. These displays and radar 
systems are only an aid to navigation.
SAFETY NOTICES
This radar equipment must be installed and operated in accordance with the 
instructions contained in this manual. Failure to do so can result in personal 
injury and/or navigational inaccuracies. In particular:
1. HIGH VOLTAGE. The LCD display unit and scanner unit contain 
high voltages. Adjustments require specialized service procedures and 
tools only available to qualified service technicians – there are no user 
serviceable parts or adjustments. The operator should never remove the 
display unit cover or attempt to service the equipment.
2. ELECTROMAGNETIC ENERGY. The radar scanner transmits 
electromagnetic energy. It is important that the radar is turned off whenever 
personnel are required to come close to the scanner to perform work on the 
scanner assembly or associated equipment.
It is recommended that the radar scanner is mounted out of range of personnel 
(above head height).
Avoid looking directly at the antenna as your eyes are the most sensitive part of 
the body to electromagnetic energy.
When properly installed and operated, the use of this radar will conform to the 
requirements of ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992 Standard for Safety Levels with 
Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3Hz 
to 300 GHz and NRPB, Board Statement on Restrictions on Human Exposure 
to Static and Time Varying Electromagnetic Fields and Radiation. Doc NRPB, 
N0. 5 (1993)
.
4. NAVIGATION AID. This unit 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 judgements. 
This radar unit should not be relied upon as a substitute for such prudence and 
judgement.
