INTENDED USE

The display units detailed in this handbook may form part of navigational radar systems intended for light marine use. These displays and radar systems are only an aid to navigation.

SAFETY NOTICES

This radar equipment must be installed and operated in accordance with the instructions contained in this manual. Failure to do so can result in personal injury and/or navigational inaccuracies. In particular:

1.HIGH VOLTAGE. The LCD display unit and scanner unit contain high voltages. Adjustments require specialized service procedures and tools only available to qualified service technicians – there are no user serviceable parts or adjustments. The operator should never remove the display unit cover or attempt to service the equipment.

2.ELECTROMAGNETIC ENERGY. The radar scanner transmits electromagnetic energy. It is important that the radar is turned off whenever personnel are required to come close to the scanner to perform work on the scanner assembly or associated equipment.

It is recommended that the radar scanner is mounted out of range of personnel (above head height).

Avoid looking directly at the antenna as your eyes are the most sensitive part of the body to electromagnetic energy.

When properly installed and operated, the use of this radar will conform to the requirements of ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992 Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3Hz to 300 GHz and NRPB, Board Statement on Restrictions on Human Exposure to Static and Time Varying Electromagnetic Fields and Radiation. Doc NRPB, N0. 5 (1993).

4.NAVIGATION AID. This unit is only an aid to navigation. Its accuracy can be affected by many factors, including equipment failure or defects, environmental conditions, and improper handling or use. It is the user’s responsibility to exercise common prudence and navigational judgements. This radar unit should not be relied upon as a substitute for such prudence and judgement.
