SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

No one navigational aid should be relied upon for the safety of vessel and crew. The navigator has the responsibility to check all aids available to confirm

WARNING LABELS

Warning labels are attached to the equipment. Do not remove any label. If a label is missing or damaged, contact a FURUNO agent or dealer about replacement.

position. Electronic aids are not a substitute for basic navigational principles and common sense.

The ARP automatically tracks

automatically or manually acquired radar

targets and calculates their courses and

speeds, indicating them by vectors. Since

the data generated by the auto plotter

are based on what radar targets are

selected, the radar must always be

optimally tuned for use with the ARP to

ensure required targets will not be lost or

unwanted targets such as sea returns

WARNING

To avoid electrical shock, do not remove cover. No user-serviceable parts inside.

WARNING

Radiation hazard. Only qualified personnel should work inside scanner. Confirm that TX has stopped before opening scanner.

and noise will not be acquired and

tracked.

A target does not always mean a land-

mass, reef, ships or other surface vessels

but can imply returns from sea surface

and clutter. As the level of clutter changes

with environment, the operator should

properly adjust the A/C SEA, A/C RAIN

and GAIN controls to be sure target

echoes are not eliminated from the

radar screen.

CAUTION

The plotting accuracy and response of this ARP meets IMO standards. Tracking accuracy is affected by the following:

Tracking accuracy is affected by course change. One to two minutes is required to restore vectors to full accuracy after an abrupt course change. (The actual amount depends on gyrocompass specifications.)

The amount of tracking delay is inversely proportional to the relative speed of the target. Delay is on the order of 15-30 seconds for high relative speed; 30-60 seconds for low relative speed.

The data generated by ARP and AIS are intended for reference purposes only.

Check all available navigation aids to determine target movement.

TFT LCD

The high quality TFT (Thin Film Transistor) LCD displays 99.999% of its picture elements.

The remaining 0.001% may drop out or light, however this is an inherent property of the LCD; it is not a sign of malfunction.
