FOREWORD

Congratulations on your choice of the FURUNO MODEL 821/MODEL 841 Ma- rine Radar. We are confident you will see why the FURUNO name has become syn- onymous with quality and reliability.

For over 40 years FURUNO Electric Com- pany has enjoyed an enviable reputation for innovative and dependable marine electron- ics equipment. This dedication to excellence is furthered by our extensive global network of agents and dealers.

Your radar is designed and constructed to meet the rigorous demands of the marine en- vironment. However, no machine can per- form its intended function unless properly installed and maintained. Please carefully read and follow the recommended proce- dures for installation, operation and main- tenance.

While this unit can be installed by the pur- chaser, any purchaser who has doubts about his or her technical abilities may wish to have the unit installed by a FURUNO rep- resentative or other qualified technician. The importance of a thorough installation can- not be overemphasized.

We would appreciate hearing from you, the end-user, about whether we are achieving our purposes.

Thank you for considering and purchasing FURUNO equipment.
