iii. Safety Warning
It is important to know that AIS is designed for the purpose of anti-collision and serves as a
complement to navigation. It is not the absolute navigational equipment and does not
replace any navigational system installed on board.
Any AIS device cannot guarantee monitoring and receiving signals from all vessels in the
surroundings unless those vessels are equipped with AIS devices.
The coastline map in this transponder is neither verified nor approved by Hydrographic
Authorities. It is not an Electronic Chart System and therefore should not be used for
navigation. The information provided by the coastline map is for reference only and should
be used together with other navigation sources and devices.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Improper disassemble or modification could cause electrical shocks, fire, or personal injury.
Only qualified personnel could work on the interior of the equipment.
MAKE SURE THE POWER SOURCE AND THE POWER INPUT ARE MATCH
Incorrect power sources will damage the equipment and may even result in fire.
Please ensure the correct power input on the adaptor before installation.
