GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS
General Safety Warnings – 1/2
(1) THE REAR PANEL TRANSDUCER CONNECTOR RECEPTACLE IS
EMITTING EXTREMELY HIGH VOLTAGE RADIO–FREQUENCY PULSES
WHEN THE EQUIPMENT IS TURNED ON.
THE CONNECTOR IS COVERED WITH A SCREW–LOCKED
PROTECTIVE RUBBER CAP WHEN THE EQUIPMENT IS INITIALLY
DELIVERED.
TO AVOID COMING INTO CONTACT ACCIDENTALLY WITH ANY OF THE
CONNECTOR PINS, BE SURE TO PLACE THE PROTECTIVE CAP OVER
THE RECEPTACLE WHENEVER THE TRANSDUCER IS UNPLUGGED.
LOCK THE CAP USING THE TWO SCREWS ATTACHED.
(2) TO COMPLY WITH THE RELEVANT WHEEL–MARK TYPE APPROVAL
REGULATIONS, THE EQUIPMENT MUST BE OPERATED USING ONE
OF THE TRANSDUCERS SPECIFIED IN THIS MANUAL. OPERATION
WITH A TRANSDUCER OTHER THAN A SPECIFIED ONE IS NOT
OFFICIALLY APPROVED, AND THE RESULTS OBTAINED WITH SUCH A
TRANSDUCER MUST NOT BE USED FOR NAVIGATIONAL PURPOSES.
(3) THE ACCURACY OF THE ON–SCREEN DEPTH READOUT IS
AFFECTED BY WATER TEMPERATURE, SALINITY, DEPTH AND
OTHER UNDERWATER CONDITIONS AS WELL AS THE SHIP’S
ROLL AND PITCH, HEEL AND TRIM.
TAKE THESE POSSIBLE ERROR–CAUSING FACTORS INTO
CONSIDERATION WHEN USING THE DEPTH READOUT, SUCH AS
WHEN NAVIGATING SHALLOW AREAS OR IN APPLICATIONS
WHERE ACCURATE DEPTH READING IS CRITICAL.
(4) DURING SHALLOW WATER OPERATION, THE EQUIPMENT MAY
OCCASIONALLY READ TWICE THE ACTUAL DEPTH BY LOCKING
ONTO THE *1SECOND BOTTOM ECHO.
THE DIGITAL DEPTH READOUT SHOULD ALWAYS BE COMPARED
WITH THE GRAPHIC BOTTOM INDICATION OR WITH SOUNDINGS
DATA IN OFFICIAL NAUTICAL CHARTS TO DETERMINE THE TRUE
DEPTH.
TOTAL RELIANCE ON THE DIGITAL READOUT ALONE FOR DEPTH
INFORMATION IS DANGEROUS AND MUST BE AVOIDED.
*1See paragraph 7.4.2 for more information on the second bottom echo.

GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS

General Safety Warnings – 2/2
(5) WITH A TRANSDUCER DRAFT ENTERED, THE ON–SCREEN DIGITAL
READOUT SHOWS THE DEPTH FROM THE WATERLINE AND NOT
FROM THE TRANSDUCER FACE OR FROM THE SHIP’S KEEL.
GREAT CARE SHOULD, THEREFORE, BE TAKEN IN USING THE
DEPTH READOUT WHEN NAVIGATING SHALLOW WATER AREAS. BE
SURE TO SET THE DEPTH REFERENCE TO “BELOW SURFACE”
(DBS) TO AVOID ANY MISUNDERSTANDING.
See paragraph 8.2 for more information on transducer draft.
(6) WHEN THE DEPTH REFERENCE INDICATION IS SET TO “BELOW
KEEL,” BE SURE TO ENTER THE APPROPRIATE KEEL OFFSET TO
AVOID ANY MISUNDERSTANDING ABOUT THE DEPTH READOUT.
See paragraph 8.10.7.3 for more information on keel offset.
(7) DO NOT SWITCH THE EQUIPMENT ON WITH THE TRANSDUCER
OUT OF WATER, SUCH AS WHILE THE VESSEL IS DRY–DOCKED,
OR THE TRANSDUCER’S CERAMIC CRYSTALS MAY BE DAMAGED
IRREPARABLY.
(8) THE DISPLAY CABINET IS NOT WEATHERIZED FOR OUTDOOR
INSTALLATION OR OPERATION. ANY DAMAGE CAUSED,
WHETHER DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, THROUGH WATER
INGRESSION IS NOT COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURER’S OR
DEALER’S WARRANTY.
(9) NEITHER THE MANUFACTURER NOR ITS DEALER IS LIABLE
FOR LOSS OF LIFE, BODILY INJURY OR DAMAGE TO THE
PROPERTY ARISING FROM THE USE OF THIS EQUIPMENT OR
FROM BEING UNABLE, FOR ANY REASON, TO OPERATE THIS
EQUIPMENT.
< CAUTION >
Environmental Safety – Equipment Disposal
The display cabinet and the transducer are considered
environmentally safe in their original, assembled forms.
However, if either unit is to be discarded for any reason,
ensure full compliance with all pertinent national/local
regulations/ordinances, and contact your dealer or the
manufacturer for assistance or instructions before disposing
of it.
