Garmin International Inc 01653 User Manual

Failure to heed the following warnings could result in an accident or collision resulting in death or serious injury.

The device uses an internal, non-user-replaceable battery for various purposes, such as the real-time clock.

If these guidelines are not followed, batteries may experience a shortened life span or may present a risk of damage to the

device, fire, chemical burn, electrolyte leak, and/or injury.

• Do not remove or attempt to remove the non-user-replaceable battery.

• You are responsible for the safe and prudent operation of your vessel. This device is a tool that will enhance your

capability to operate your vessel. This device does not relieve you from the responsibility of safely operating your vessel.

Avoid navigational hazards and never leave the helm unattended.

• Use this device only as a navigational aid. Do not attempt to use the device for any purpose requiring precise measurement

of direction, distance, location, or topography.

• Always be prepared to promptly regain control of the vessel. Use caution near hazards in the water, such as docks, pilings

and other vessels.

• If the device has navigating capabilities, when navigating, carefully compare information displayed on the device to all

available navigation sources, including information from visual sightings, local waterway rules and restrictions, and maps.

For safety, always resolve any discrepancies or questions before continuing navigation.

Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals–Your device is a radio transmitter and receiver. When it is on, it receives and also

sends out radio frequency (RF) signals.

Antenna Care–Use only the supplied antenna or a recommended antenna accessory. Unauthorized antennas, modifications,

or attachments could damage the radio and may violate FCC regulations. Warning: Do not use any radio that has a damaged

antenna, because if it comes into contact with your skin, a minor burn can result.

Electronic Devices–Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. However, certain equipment may not be

shielded against the RF signals from your wireless radio.

Pacemakers–The Health Industry Manufacturers Association (HIMA) and Wireless Technology Research recommend that a

minimum separation of six inches (6”) be maintained between a handheld wireless radio and a pacemaker to avoid potential

interference with the pacemaker. Persons with pacemakers should ALWAYS keep the radio more than six inches from their

pacemaker when the radio is turned on, should not carry the radio in a breast pocket, and should turn the radio off

immediately if you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place.

Hearing Aids–Some digital wireless radios may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may

want to consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.

Posted Facilities–Turn your radio OFF in any facility where posted notices so require.

Vehicles–RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check

with the manufacturer or its representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the manufacturer of any equipment

that has been added to your vehicle.

Commercial Aircraft–Many commercial airlines prohibit the use of radios on board. Switch OFF your radio before boarding

an aircraft or check the airline rules.

Potentially Explosive Atmospheres–Turn your radio OFF and do not remove your battery when you are in any area with a

potentially explosive atmosphere. Obey all signs and instructions. Sparks from your battery in such areas could cause an

explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.

Failure to heed the following notice could result in personal or property damage, or negatively impact the device functionality.

• Do not immerse the device or batteries in water or other liquids.

• Do not leave the device exposed to a heat source or in a high-temperature location, such as in the sun in an unattended

vehicle. To prevent the possibility of damage, remove the device from the vehicle or store it out of direct sunlight, such as in

the glove box.

• Do not operate the device outside of the temperature ranges specified in the printed manual in the product packaging.

• When storing the device for an extended time period, store within the temperature ranges specified in the printed manual in

the product packaging.

• Contact your local waste disposal department to dispose of the device/batteries in accordance with applicable local laws

and regulations.

This device is a mobile transmitter and receiver that uses an internal antenna to send and receive low levels of radio

frequency (RF) energy for data communications. The device emits RF energy below the published limits when operating in its

maximum output power mode and when used with Garmin authorized accessories. To comply with RF exposure compliance

requirements, the device should be installed and used with the separation distance as described in the printed manual. The

device should not be used in other configurations. This device must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any

other transmitter or antenna.

All users are responsible for observing the regulations of their government and the regulations of foreign governments.

Breaches of such regulations are subject to severe penalties. The transmitting frequencies in your radio are reserved for

maritime use; any frequency you use for transmission must be specifically included on your ships license. A special license is

required to operate from land; this includes when your boat is in a trailer. The use of ATIS is prohibited outside the European

inland waterways covered by the Basel Agreement.

Many countries and administrations require a ship radio license and require the user to be in possession of a suitable radio

operator license before transmitting equipment can be used for maritime communication. Contact your local administration for

details.
