•Viewing angle: This LCD has been chosen to give the very best performance, including viewing angle. However, the contrast and colors seen on all LCD displays vary slightly with viewing angle.
•Access: There must be sufficient space behind the display to allow cable con- nections to the rear connectors, avoiding tight bends in the cable.
•Interference: The selected location should be far enough away from devices that may cause interference, such as motors, generators and radio transmitter/ receivers (see the EMC guidelines in this section).
•Magnetic compass: Mount the display unit at least 3 ft (1m) away from a magnetic compass.
•Environment: To prevent overheating, do not restrict airflow at the rear of the display unit; ensure there is adequate ventilation, particularly if the display unit is
Failure to do so could invalidate your warranty.
The display should be protected from physical damage and excessive vibra- tion. Although the display unit is waterproof, it is good practice to mount it in a protected area away from prolonged and direct exposure to rain and salt spray.
Do not place the display near to heat sources.
Note: The display includes Active Thermal Management, in the unlikely event that it overheats the backlights will automatically dim until the unit cools to an ac- ceptable temperature.
EMC Installation Guidelines
All Raymarine equipment and accessories are designed to the best industry standards for use in the recreational marine environment.
Their design and manufacture conforms to the appropriate Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) standards, but correct installation is required to ensure that performance is not compromised. Although every effort has been taken to ensure that they will perform under all conditions, it is important to understand what factors could affect the operation of the product.
The guidelines given here describe the conditions for optimum EMC performance, but it is recognized that it may not be possible to meet all of these conditions in all situations. To ensure the best possible conditions for EMC performance within the constraints imposed by any location, always ensure the maximum separation possible between different items of electrical equipment.
For optimum EMC performance, it is recommended that wherever possible:
•Raymarine equipment and cables connected to it are:
•At least 3 ft (1 m) from any equipment transmitting or cables carrying radio signals e.g. VHF radios, cables and antennas. In the case of SSB radios, the distance should be increased to 7 ft (2 m).
•More than 7 ft (2 m) from the path of a radar beam. A radar beam can normally be assumed to spread 20 degrees above and below the radiating element.
