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 40 in.
During the radar operation it is necessary to keep out of the aerial transmission flow; therefore steer the yacht exclusively from the inner main helm station. Switch off the radar if not expressly necessary to navigation.
Be very careful when navigating, as a radar shadow forms near the yacht.
The electronic chart is an aid to navigation, designed to facilitate the use of authorized government charts, not to replace them. Only official government 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.
