Please respect all instructions in this manual.
Please pay particular attention to text marked with

Safety Instructions for installation:
The anemometer system should be installed by your shipyard or by a
specialist.
Adequate working clothes should be worn if you install it yourself. Avoid
loose clothing and use a hair net if your hair is long. Clothing and hair
may be caught in moving parts.
Remove all metallic or electrically conducting jewelry, such as chains,
bracelets, rings, etc. when working on the on-board electrical system.
Disconnect the minus polarity of the battery before starting your work to
prevent the risk of a short-circuit. Short-circuits can cause harness fires,
battery explosions and damages of other electronic memory systems.
Please note that all volatile electronic memories will lose their contents,
and will have to be re-programmed if you disconnect the battery.
VDO instruments are not equipped with volatile memories.
Risk of explosion! Run the engine blower for a certain time before
starting work in a gasoline engine compartment.
Check for sufficient clearance behind the mounting hole when selecting
the location for the indicating instrument. Pre-drill the hole and finish with
hole or keyhole saw (respect the safety instructions of the tool
manufacturer).
