Precautions Upon the Operation
WARNING
Do not disassemble or modify the equipment. Doing so may result in fire, electric
shock, or equipment failure.
Do not allow the display to become wet. Doing so may result in fire, electric
shock, or equipment failure.
Operate the equipment only at the indicated voltage. Failure to do so may result
in fire, electric shock, or equipment failure.
Install this unit at least 1 m away from any magnetic compasses. Installation near
a magnetic compass may result in interference with the magnetic compass, and
may result in an accident.
Do not perform internal inspections or modifications of the equipment. Inspection
or modification by unauthorized personnel may result in fire, electric shock, or
equipment failure. Please consult with JRC or an affiliate to perform internal
inspections or repair.
When disposing of the used lithium battery, place insulating tape over the battery
terminals, or otherwise insulate the battery. Failure to do so may result in heating,
explosion, or fire due to a shorted battery.

v
CAUTION
This equipment is not designed to automatically make judgments on the position
data. The navigation information including the position data needs to be judged by
the user himself.
Do not use the equipment in the environment other than those provided in the
specification. Doing so may result in equipment failure, malfunction, or injury.
Do not install the display unit in the location where it may come in contact with
water, oil, or chemicals. Doing so may result in equipment failure, malfunction, or
injury.
Do not install the equipment in the place subject to vibration or shock.
Doing so may result in the equipment falling or collapsing, resulting in equipment
failure or injury.
Do not place any item on the top of the equipment.
Doing so may result in equipment failure, malfunction, or injury.
Please consult with JRC or an affiliate to perform installation. Installation by
unauthorized personnel may result in malfunction.
Use only the specified battery. Failure to do so may result in battery leakage or
rupture, resulting in fire, injury, or equipment failure.
Do not use benzine, alcohol or thinner when caring this equipment.
Doing so may result in removing the paint or changing of properties.
Wipe off the grime lightly with a dry soft cloth.
Use the indicated screws when installing the display unit to a stable wooden
surface. Failure to do so may result in the display unit falling over, causing injury
or property damage.
Use only the specified fuse.
Failure to do so may result in fire or equipment failure.
Use only the specified battery.
Failure to do so may result in equipment failure or malfunction.

vi
When connecting the cable attached to the equipment, do not bend it acutely, twist
it, or impart excessive force. Doing so sometimes causes cracks or damage to the
coating, resulting in fire or electrocution.
Do not install the sensor where there is excessive vibration.
Vibration may cause sensor failure.
Do not paint the sensor.
Doing so may result in reception problems.
Do not install the sensor where temperature exceeds 55 degrees Celsius and
there is covered with exhaust gas from funnel. Doing so may result in flood and
cause sensor failure.
The junction box rubber gaskets (25 f Gland side) fit 10mm – 20mm cables.
Install the sensor where there are no obstacles, in order to ensure that GPS signals
can be directly received from satellites without interference or reflection of signals
from surrounding objects.
Whenever possible, select a place with the following characteristics.
If it is difficult to find an ideal site, select a place temporarily and install the equipment. Conduct a test to make
sure that the proper performance can be obtained and then fix the equipment in position. If it is installed at an
improper place, reception accuracy may be impaired.
If occurs bad positioning of such as satellite can not be received, please execute the
master reset of sensor.
There are cases when time lags in the gps navigator and gps compass.
This is not a malfunction due to the delay in the internal processing.
There are cases when time lags in the main display unit and sub display unit.
This is not a malfunction due to the delay in the internal processing.
1. An open space, which allows uniform reception of satellite signals.
2. Far away from any high power transmission antennas.
3. Outside radar beams.
4. Away from the INMARSAT antenna by at least 5 meters and outside
the INMARSAT beam.
5. Away from the antenna of a VHF transmitter and a direction finder
by at least 3 meters.
6. Away from a Magnetic Compass by at least 1 meter.
7. 3 meters or more away from amateur radio antennas.
