Important Safety and Warning Information
Please read carefully before use.
When navigating the vessel, use the Lowrance HDS system only as a 
navigational aid. Proper navigation of the vessel is the sole responsibility of the 
vessel operator.
The electronic chart used by the HDS System is an aid to navigation only and 
is designed to supplement, not replace, official government charts. Only official 
government charts supplemented by notices to mariners contain the information 
required for safe and prudent navigation. Always supplement the electronic 
information provided by the Lowrance HDS with other plotting sources such 
as observations, depth soundings, radar and hand compass bearings. Should the 
information not agree, the discrepancy must be resolved before proceeding any 
further.
Never operate the HDS in Simulate Mode while you are underway. It is the 
user’s responsibility to ensure that Simulate Mode is used only in safe situations 
such as when you are moored in a marina.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the US Government which 
is solely responsible for its operation, accuracy and maintenance. The GPS 
system is subject to changes which could affect the accuracy and performance 
of all GPS equipment anywhere in the world.
The accuracy of the Sonar depth display can be limited by many factors, 
including the type of transducer, the location of the transducer, and water 
conditions. Ensure that the transducer is installed correctly and the Sonar is used 
correctly.
HDS units intended for sale and operation in the America’s region DO NOT 
include full functionality outside of the America’s, defined as 30 degrees west 
longitude and 180 degrees west longitude. Units are restricted to operate in 
English language only with imperial (non-metric) units only.
For full use around the globe an International unit must be purchased from
