Garmin GXM 51 Important Safety and Product Information - Page 2

Important Safety and Product Information Warnings Failure to avoid the following potentially hazardous situations could result in an accident or collision resulting in death or serious injury. If your unit contains or accepts mapping products, follow these guidelines to ensure safe navigating. • When navigating, carefully compare information displayed on the unit 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. • Use the electronic chart in the unit 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. • Use this unit only as a navigational aid. Do not attempt to use the unit for any purpose requiring precise measurement of direction, distance, location, or topography. • If your unit has video input capabilities, do not attempt to operate or watch video input while operating or navigating your boat. Operating or watching the video input while the boat is moving could cause an accident or collision resulting in property damage, serious injury, or death. • NOTE: Refer to your product's owner's manual to determine if your product contains or accepts maps, or to determine if your product has video input capability.

Battery Warnings Your GPS unit may use an internal, non-user-replaceable battery for various purposes, such as the real-time clock. • Do not remove or attempt to remove the non-userreplaceable battery. • When disposing of the unit, take it to a professional service, such as a waste electronics treatment facility, to have the battery removed and recycled. Important Information MAP DATA INFORMATION: 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. The California Electronic Waste Recycling Act of 2003 requires the recycling of certain electronics. For more information on the applicability to this product, see www.erecycle.org.
