Important information
WARNING
Although your ST30 instrument is designed to give accurate and
reliable performance, it should serve only as an aid to navigation
and should never lead to the erosion of good seamanship. Always
maintain a permanent watch and be aware of situations as they
develop.
EMC conformance
All Raymarine equipment and accessories are designed to the best
industry standards for use in the leisure marine environment.
The design and manufacture of Raymarine equipment and accessories
conform to the appropriate Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
standards, but correct installation is required to ensure that performance
is not compromised.
Handbook information
To the best of our knowledge, the information in this handbook was
correct when it went to press. However, the Raymarine policy of
continuous product improvement may change product specifications
without notice. Consequently, unavoidable differences may occur
between the product and the handbook from time to time, for which
Raymarine cannot accept liability.
