Radio Frequency and Microwave Radiation
DANGER: Microwave Radiation Hazard! The microwave energy radiated by a radar antenna is harmful
to humans, especially to one’s eyes. Do NOT look at the scanner from close range. Never look directly into an
open waveguide or into the path of radiation from an enclosed antenna. Make sure personnel are clear of
the scanner when it is powered on. Turn off the radar whenever it is necessary to work on the antenna unit
or on other equipment in the beam of the radar.
DANGER! Radar and other radio frequency radiation can upset cardiac pacemakers. If someone with a
cardiac pacemaker suspects abnormal operation, immediately turn off the equipment and move the person
away from the antenna.
CAUTION! For safety reasons, the radar must be installed above head height and out of range of personnel.
Positive Ground Systems
WARNING! Do not connect this unit to a system that has positive grounding.
Service and Maintenance
WARNING! Disassembly and repair of this electronic unit should only be performed by authorized service
personnel. Any modification of the serial number or attempt to repair the original equipment or accessories
by unauthorized individuals will void the warranty.
CAUTION! This product contains no user serviceable components. Please refer all maintenance and
repair to authorized Humminbird dealers. Unauthorized repair may affect your warranty.
Compass Safe Distance
WARNING! To prevent potential interference with the vessel's magnetic compasses, ensure an adequate
distance is maintained from the product.
NOTE: When choosing a suitable location for the product you should aim to maintain the maximum
possible distance from any compasses. Typically this distance should be at least 3 feet (1 m) in all directions.
However, for some smaller vessels it may not be possible to locate the product this far away from a compass.
In this situation, when choosing the installation location for your product, ensure that the compass is not
affected by the product when it is in a powered state.
Additional Warnings and Notes
WARNING! This device should not be used as a navigational aid to prevent collision, grounding, boat
damage, or personal injury. When the boat is moving, water depth may change too quickly to allow time for you
to react. Always operate the boat at very slow speeds if you suspect shallow water or submerged objects.
WARNING! The electronic chart in your Humminbird unit is an aid to navigation designed to facilitate the
use of authorized government charts, not to replace them. Only official government charts and notices to
mariners contain all of the current information needed for the safety of navigation, and the captain is
responsible for their prudent use and the safety of the vessel and its passengers.
WARNING! This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth
defects or other reproductive harm.
