Safety notices WARNING:Navigation Aid This device is intended to be used as an aid to navigation. Its accuracy can be affected by many factors, including equipment failure or defects, environmental conditions and incorrect handling or use. It is the user's responsibility to exercise common prudence and navigational judgement. This device should not be relied upon as a substitute for such prudence and judgement. WARNING:Product installation This equipment must be installed in accordance with the instructions in the E-Series System Installation Guide. Failure to do so could result in poor product performance, personal injury and/ or damage to the vessel. WARNING:High voltage The 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. WARNING:Electromagnetic energy The radar scanner transmits electromagnetic energy. Ensure that the scanner has been installed according to the recommendations given in the relevant scanner handbook.

Only remove the transducer cable after power has been switched off. Ensure that the sounder module is mounted where it is well ventilated and in an area free from flammable vapors. CAUTION: Water Ingress To prevent the ingress of water and consequent damage to the display, ensure that the chart card door is firmly closed. This can be confirmed by an audible click. CAUTION: CompactFlash Cards · Removing the CompactFlash card whilst information is being written to or read from it may cause damage to the card and loss of all data. Use the proper procedure detailed on page 20 to remove the card. · Only one CompactFlash card per display can be used at any one time. · Do not save data (waypoints, routes etc.) to a Navionics card as the charts may be overwritten. When archiving use a different CompactFlash card. · DO NOT use a metallic instrument such as a screwdriver or pliers to help you remove a card, as doing this can cause irreparable damage.
