Important Safety Information

WARNING

Failure to follow these warnings, cautions, and notices could result in personal injury, damage to the vessel or

device, or poor product performance.

See the

Important Safety and Product Information

guide in the product box for product warnings and other

important information.

The radar transmits electromagnetic energy. To avoid possible personal injury, damage to the vessel or device,

or poor product performance, ensure that the radar is installed according to the recommendations in these

instructions and that all personnel are clear of the path of the radar beam before transmitting. When properly

installed and operated, the use of this radar conforms to the requirements of ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992 Standard

for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields.

To avoid possible personal injury, do not look directly at the antenna at close range when the radar is

transmitting. Eyes are the most sensitive part of the body to electromagnetic energy.

When connecting the power cable, do not remove the in-line fuse holder. To prevent the possibility of injury or

product damage caused by fire or overheating, the appropriate fuse must be in place as indicated in the

product specifications. In addition, connecting the power cable without the appropriate fuse in place voids the

product warranty.

CAUTION

This device should be used only as a navigational aid. Using the device for any purpose requiring precise

measurement or direction, distance, location, or topography may result in personal injury or damage to the

vessel.

To avoid possible personal injury, always wear safety goggles, ear protection, and a dust mask when drilling,

cutting, or sanding.

Opening the device may result in personal injury and/or damage to the device. This device contains no user-

serviceable parts, and should be opened only by a Garmin

®

authorized service technician. Any damage resulting

from opening the unit by anyone other than a Garmin authorized service technician will not be covered by the

Garmin warranty.

NOTICE

When drilling or cutting, always check what is on the opposite side of the surface to avoid damaging the vessel.
