Garmin International Inc 02438 Manuel D’Utilisation

2 

 



This device is a tool that will enhance your capability to operate your vessel. 

It 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.

•  If the device uses maps, use the electronic chart in the device only to 

facilitate, not to replace, the use of authorized government charts. Official 

government charts and notices to mariners contain all information needed to 

navigate safely.

•  If the device provides depth data, it should not be used as the primary 

means of preventing grounding or collision. Supplement depth data 

readings with information from applicable paper charts and visual indicators. 

Always operate the vessel at slow speeds if you suspect shallow water 

or submerged objects. Failure to heed this warning could lead to vessel 

damage or personal injury.

•  If the device has video input capabilities, do not attempt to operate or watch 

video input while operating or navigating your vessel. Operating or watching 

the video input while the vessel is moving could cause an accident or 

collision resulting in property damage, serious injury, or death.

One of the goals of Garmin is to provide customers with the most complete 

and accurate cartography that is available to us at a reasonable cost. We use 

a combination of governmental and private data sources, which we identify 

in product literature and copyright messages displayed to the consumer. 

Virtually all data sources contain some inaccurate or incomplete data. In some 

countries, complete and accurate map information is either not available or is 

prohibitively expensive.

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 FCC and Industry Canada RF

mount or as mounted per the installation instructions only.  The device should not

 be used in other configurations.  The product should always be mounted at a 

minimum of 20 cm from the body of the user. This device must not be co-located 

or operated in conjunction with any other transmitter or antenna.

.FCC Compliance

This product has been tested and found to comply with Part 15 of the FCC 

interference limits for Class B digital devices FOR HOME OR OFFICE USE. 

These limits are designed to provide more reasonable protection against 

harmful interference in a residential installation, and are more stringent than 

“outdoor” requirements. 

Operation of this device is subject to the following conditions: (1) this device 

may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any 

interference received, including interference that may cause undesired 

operation.

This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and 

may cause harmful interference to radio communications if not installed and 

used in accordance with the instructions. However, there is no guarantee that 

interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does 

cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be 

determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try 

to correct the interference by one of the following measures:

•  Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

•  Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.

•  Connect the equipment into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the 

GPS device.

•  Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
