ATTENTION:
The electronic locating system BlueLocar RAY serves the purpose of supporting
the tracking of divers at the surface. It increases the safety when diving, but it is
no replacement for other rescue and signal systems.It is only a reasonable addition
to those systems.
The BlueLocar RAY system supports navigation, but can neither replace proper
orientation nor expertise. Therefore do not rely on a single tool for location and navi-
gation during a rescue operation
It is strongly recommended to agree on common procedures and behavioural rules
in case of SOS or HOME signal reception.
CAUTION:
The displayed distance and direction to another device on a BlueLocar RAY is al-
ways a representation of the shortest and direct route. The system does not consi-
der any shoals, vessels, rocks, reefs or other obstacles.You should therefore always
perform an additional examination of the displayed path, since it can contain barriers
and risks.
IMPORTANT:
The electronic locating system BlueLocar RAY should only be operated by persons
that are familiar with the proper handling and operation of this system.The company
BlueLocar advises all Users to read the manual carefully and to contact other expert
persons or the manufacturer in case of any questions .
The BlueLocar Basestation is operating on a radio frequency that complies with
the radio regulations of the FCC (USA), IC Canada (Canada). The operation of the
system in these countries is license-free and does not have to be reported.
Using a BlueLocar Basestation outside of the mentioned countries is not licen-
se-free and the operation of the device has to be reported to the responsible autho-
rities of the respective country. The relevant departments of different countries can
be obtained from the manufacturer.
ATTENTION:
The electronic locating system BlueLocar RAY is solely to be used for the intended
purpose for which it was designed and manufactured. The Manufacturer distances
himself from any misuse and other purposes that do not comply with the intended
regulations.
To ensure the proper and safe operation of the electronic emergency and location
system BlueLocar RAY it is not allowed to make any modifications. Only unaltered
and original parts that are intact can provide a reliable operation of the system.
The electronic emergency and location system BlueLocar RAY is using the Global
Positioning System (GPS) that is operated and maintained by the governement of
the United States. Solely this government is responsible for function, accurancy and
service of the GPS system.
Take into account that the position determination based on GPS, which is the foun-
dation for the system‘s locating service, can be affected by weather conditions
and the position of the GPS receiver of the BlueLocar R AY . The GPS signals are
transmitted by satellites with high frequencies. These signals can only be received,
if there is visual contact with the satellite. Therefore being under water, below deck
on a boat or being inside a building it is not possible to receive the satellite signals.
Thus the location service cannot operate. So the GPS antenna, located in the upper
left corner of the BlueLocar RAY case, should not be covered and should be positi-
oned towards the sky, if possible (upright position of the device).
