IMPORTANT NOTICES General • This manual has been authored with simplified grammar, to meet the needs of international users. • The operator of this equipment must read and follow the descriptions in this manual. Wrong operation or maintenance can cancel the warranty or cause injury. • Do not copy any part of this manual without written permission from FURUNO. • If this manual is lost or worn, contact your dealer about replacement.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS The operator must read the safety instructions before attempting to operate the equipment. WARNING Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury. CAUTION Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 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. WARNING Do not operate the equipment with wet hands. Electrical shock can result.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS CAUTION CAUTIO The plotting accuracy and response of this TT meets IMO standards. Tracking accuracy is affected by the following: • • Tracking accuracy is affected by course change. One to two minutes is required to restore vectors to full accuracy after an abrupt course change. (The actual amount depends on gyrocompass specifications.) The amount of tracking delay is inversely proportional to the relative speed of the target. Delay is approx.
