In the European Union
The crossed-out trash can symbol indicates that all types of batteries
must not be discarded in standard trash, or at a trash site. Take the
used batteries to a battery collection site according to your national
legislation and the Batteries Directive 2006/66/EU.
In the USA
The Mobius loop symbol (three chasing arrows) indicates that Ni-Cd
and lead-acid rechargeable batteries must be recycled. Take the used
batteries to a battery collection site according to local laws.
In the other countries
There are no international standards for the battery recycle symbol. The number of symbols can
increase when the other countries make their own recycle symbols in the future.

CAUTION
CAUTION
Maximum speed while the transducer is
projected or being raised or lowered
is as below, to prevent damage to the
transducer.
WARNING
Before raising or lowering the trans-
ducer manually, make sure the motor
brake and drive shaft brake are engaged.
Handle the transducer carefully.
Do not swing the transducer or strike it
against an object, to prevent damage to the
transducer.
Do not transmit the transducer when it
is out of water (for example, when dry-
docked), to prevent damage to the
transducer.
Do not remove the brake on the hull
unit, to keep the shaft from falling.
Replace anti-corrosion zinc plates yearly.
Corrosion between the main shaft and
transducer may result if not replaced,
allowing water leakage and/or loss of
transducer.
An LCD is made of glass. Rough handling
can break the glass.
Handle the LCD carefully to prevent injury.
WARNING LABELS
Warning labels are attached to the units of the system.
Do not remove the labels.
If a label is missing or damaged, contact a FURUNO
agent or dealer about replacement.

EMERGENCY STOP BUTTON ON
HULL UNIT
The EMERGENCY STOP button on the hull unit stops the raising or lowering of the transducer in
case of an emergency. The transducer stops moving when the button is operated, a warning mes-
sage appears and the transducer cannot be raised or lowered. The transducer is also stopped
when the ratchet wrench in the hull unit, which is used to manually raise the transducer, is re-
moved from its holder.
To release the emergency stop condition, first confirm that no one is near the hull unit. Then do
the following:
• To release the EMERGENCY STOP button, turn the button in the direction of the arrow on the
button.
• Return the ratchet wrench to its holder.
