PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USE
WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death, serious injury or damage to property
2.1 Warnings
Use the radar at your own risk. Your radar was designed for use as a navigation aid. It should not be used for purposes that require precise measurements of direction, distance, topography or location. Always compare the navigation information received from your radar with data from other navigation aids and sources. When a conflict arises between the navigation data from your radar and data from other navigation aids, make sure you resolve the conflict before proceeding with navigation. A CAREFUL NAVIGATOR NEVER RELIES ON ONLY ONE METHOD TO OBTAIN NAVIGATION INFORMATION. Caution:
International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea mandate that when radar is on a vessel, the radar must be used at all times, regardless of weather conditions or visibility. Numerous court decisions have not only ruled the radar must be used, but that the radar operator must be knowledgeable in all operational aspects of radar performance or otherwise face a greater risk of liability if an accident occurs.
WARNING: High Voltage Hazard
Dangerously high voltages are present within the radar scanner unit. Technicians must exercise extreme care when working inside the unit. ALWAYS remove power before removing the cover. Some capacitors may take several minutes to discharge, even after switching off the radar. Before touching the magnetron or any high voltage components, ground them with a clip lead. WARNING: Microwave Radiation Hazard
