correct method of disposal.
How to discard a used battery
To see if your product has a battery, see the chapter on Maintenance. Follow the instructions be-
low if a battery is used. Tape the + and - terminals of battery before disposal to prevent fire, heat
generation caused by short circuit.
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 batter-
ies 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.

Radio Frequency Radiation Hazard
The radar antenna sends the electromagnetic radio frequency (RF) energy. This energy can be
dangerous to you, especially your eyes. Do not look at the radiator or near the antenna when the
antenna is rotating.

WARNING
WARNING WARNING
Do not open the equipment.
The equipment uses high voltage that
can cause electrical shock. Refer any
repair work to a qualified technician.
Before turning on the radar, be sure
no one is near the antenna.
Prevent the potential risk of being
struck by the rotating antenna, which
can result in serious injury or death.
If water leaks into the equipment or
something is dropped into the
equipment, immediately turn off the
power at the switchboard.
Fire or electrical shock can result.
If the equipment is giving off smoke
or fire, immediately turn off the
power at the switchboard.
Fire or electrical shock can result.
If you feel the equipment is acting
abnormally or giving off strange
noises, immediately turn off the
power at the switchboard and
contact a service technician.
Do not disassemble or modify the
equipment.
Fire, electrical shock or serious injury
can result.
Make sure no rain or water splash
leaks into the equipment.
Fire or electrical shock can result if
water leaks into the equipment.
Do not place liquid-filled containers
on or near the equipment.
Fire or electrical shock can result if a
liquid spills into the equipment.
Do not operate the equipment with
wet hands.
Electrical shock can result.
Keep objects away from the antenna
unit, so as not to impede rotation of
the antenna.
Fire, electrical shock or serious injury
can result.
Use the proper fuse.
Use of the wrong fuse can cause fire or
electrical shock.
CAUTION
The data from AIS are intended for
reference purposes only.
Check all available navigation aids to
determine target movement.
Do not depend on one navigation
device for the navigation of the ship.
The navigator must check all aids
available to confirm position.
- The TT (Target Tracking) automatically
tracks an automatically or manually
acquired radar target and calculates its
course and speed, indicating them with
a vector. Since the data generated by
the TT depends on the selected radar
targets, the radar must be optimally
tuned for use with the TT, to ensure
required targets will not be lost or
unnecessary targets like sea returns
and noise will not be acquired and
tracked.
- A target is not always a landmass,
reef, ship, but can also be returns from
the sea surface and from clutter. As
the level of clutter changes with the
environment, the operator must
correctly adjust the sea and rain clutter
controls and the gain control so that
the target echoes do not disappear
from the radar screen.
