WARNING <For System Operators>
Always follow this instruction to prevent death or personal
injury.
Turn power
off
During
abnormality.
If smoke or a small of burning occurs, a fire or
an electrical short circuit may result. Turn the
power switch OFF and shut down the power
supply immediately. Never try to repair the
system yourself. Call for service.
Do not open
Cabinet.
High voltage exists in the instrument. Contact
with voltage may cause possible injury or death.
Do not
touch back
side of the
equipment.
Harmful line voltage is present on back side of
the equipment. Never try to touch back side
while power is turned on.
Avoid
excessive
shock
to display
unit.
The LCD display module contains a liquid. Do
not apply any mechanical shock to the display.
If the display broken, liquid may leak and injure
your skin and eyes.
Do not use
with poor
ventilation.
If you cover this unit or use in an enclosed
place, it may malfunction or become damaged
as a result of overheating. Use only where there
is sufficient ventilation.

Installation Cautions <For service Personnel>
Follow installation instructions to avoid personal injury and
system malfunction.
Installation in
rigid location. Mount your SAS-300 on a rigid frame or base to prevent
your unit from working loose.
Use correct
Installation
materials.
Use the installation materials provided in the standard
accessory pack only. If you use hardware of insufficient
strength, your system may loosen causing damaged.
Keep away from
direct sunlight. Keep your system out of direct sunlight as it may
become damaged by overheating.
Keep away from
water. Take care not to get water on or in your unit as it may be
damaged and/or cause an electrical shock.
Keep away from
heat source. Keep your system away from other heat source as it may
malfunction, be damaged, or burn.
Use correct
power source. Operate your system within the specified power voltage.
An incorrect power supply may cause

- 4 -
Maintenance Cautions<For Maintenance Personnel>
Use the following safety precaution internal inspection.
Discharge
capacitors.
High voltage may be retained in the capacitors if the
high-tension circuit several minutes after you have
turned the power switch off.
Check that
power is OFF
To prevent an electrical injury due to erroneous power
switching, make sure that the main power supply and
the system power switch are both in the off position.
Additionally, attach a safety label showing that service is
in progress.
Avoid EMI. Take care not to damage the ESDs (Electrostatic
Sensitive Devices) by static electricity from carpet and
cloths.
Avoid dust. Wear a safety mask so as not to breath in dust during
inspection or cleaning inside your system instruments.

- 5 -
Operation Notes <For operators>
Observe the following operation notes, otherwise the system failure or
deterioration can result. And periodical inspection and maintenance are required
for keeping the system in an optimum condition.
Backup important
data.
The waypoint and other registered data may become
unreadable by unexpected failure. We recommend
recording this data separately.
Use correct
transducer only.
If you use incorrect transducer, the transmitter circuit
may be damaged due to a matching error. Consult is
for system information.
Check transducer
Connection before
power on
Do not turn the power switch ON if the transducer is
disconnected or if it is not inserted into the water. If
done, the transducer or transmitter circuit may be
damaged.
Always clean the
transducer
Since transducer performance can drop due to
accumulated bottom growth, keep the transducer
clean. Never paint transducer surface.
Transducer must
be installed by
authorized
personnel.
Consult us for transducer installation by authorized
personnel.
WARNING
This product is designed to assist a
navigation.
When you are sailing, use the certified chart
from the Government or IMO.

SAS-300 System
CAUTION
The SAS-300 Color LCD Chartplotter & Fishfider Systems employs the latest in proven
technology to provide accurate fish & bottom information. The Plotter functions of SAS-300
are totally dependent upon the capability of the navigation source to provide accurate
position information. This device is only an aid to navigation. It should be used in
conjunction with all other navigation accuracy. For safety, always resolve any uncertainty
before continuing navigation.
There is no direct relationship between the color of water areas and their depth. The
navigator shall always query the area for depth information and use the official paper chart.
CAUTION
The performance of LCD displays are degraded by continuous direct exposure to
ultraviolet rays. Locate your SAS-300 Display away from direct sunlight. When not in use.
Keep the display covered.
DISPLAY BREAKAGE WARNING
The LCD display module contains a liquid. If the display is broken and the liquid contacts
your skin, wash it off immediately in running water for 15 minutes. If the liquid contacts your
eyes, immediately flush your eyes with running water for 15 minutes. Contact a physician if
any abnormal symptom is experienced.
