WARNING
Electronic charts displayed by the chart plotter are believed to be accurate and reliable, but they
are not intended to replace ofcial charts which should remain your main reference for all the
matters related to the execution of a safe navigation. For this reason we would like to remind you
that you are required to carry on board and use the ofcially published and approved nautical
charts.
CAUTION
• Please read through this manual before the rst operation. If you have any questions, please
contact the Company's customer service or your local dealer.
• The chart plotter is not built water proof. Please give attention to avoid water intrusion into the
chart plotter. Water damage is not covered by the warranty.
• Extensive exposure to heat may result in damage to the chart plotter.
• Connection to the power source with reversed polarity will damage the chart plotter severely.
This damage is not covered by the warranty.
• The chart plotter contains dangerous high voltage circuits which only experienced technicians
MUST handle.
• The C-MAP By Jeppesen DATA MEDIA are available from your local dealer.
• Exposure of the display to UV rays may shorten the life of the liquid crystals used in your
plotter. This limitation is due to the current technology of the LCD displays.
• Avoid overheating which may cause loss of contrast and, in extreme cases, a darkening of the
screen. Problems which occur from overheating are reversible when temperature decreases.
WARNING ON SERIAL PORTS CONNECTION
Please be aware that the serial ports are not opto-isolated and then the external device is
electrically connected to the chart plotter. This allows the connection of high speed devices, like
Radar or Fish Finder. If you are connecting a NMEA0183 device and you would like to isolate it
from the chart plotter, you have to add the opto-isolator externally.
CLEANINGPROCEDUREFORTHEPLOTTERSCREEN
Cleaning your chart plotter screen is a very important operation and must be done carefully, as
the window's surface is covered with and antireective coating. The following is the cleaning
procedure: you use a tissue or lens tissue and a cleaning spray containing Isopropanol (a
normal spray cleaner sold for the PC screen, for example PolaClear by Polaroid). Fold the tissue
or lens tissue into a triangular shape, moisten the tip and use the index nger behind a corner to
move the tissue across the surface, in overlapping side to side strokes. If the tissue is too wet,
a noticeable wet lm will be left in its path and you will need to repeat the process. If too dry, the
tissue won't glide easily, and may damage the surface.

We will not be liable for errors contained herein, or for incidental or consequential damages in
