Radiation danger.
The radar antenna emits radiations, which can damage the human body, especially the eyes. When the radar is operating, never look straight at the transmission aerial from a distance shorter than 10 m.
During the radar operation it is necessary to keep out of the aerial transmission flow. Switch OFF the radar if not expressly necessary to navigation.
Pay the utmost attention during navigation, because in proximity of the yacht a shadow cone is formed, which is not covered from the radar waves.
The electronic chart is an aid to navigation, designed to facilitate the use of authorized steering charts, not to replace them. Only official steering charts and notices to mariners contain all information needed for the safety of navigation and, as always, the Captain is responsible for their proper use.
At least once a week carry out the cleaning of the LCD.
At least once every six months check the connection and the presence of corrosion on the cables.
For further information on use and maintenance, please refer to the manufacturer’s manual.
