– At least 1 m (3 ft) from any equipmenttransmitting or cables carrying radio signals e.g.VHF radios, cables and antennas. In the caseof SSB radios, the distance should be increasedto 7 ft (2 m).– More than 2 m (7 ft) from the path of a radarbeam. A radar beam can normally be assumedto spread 20 degrees above and below theradiating element.• The product is supplied from a separate batteryfrom that used for engine start. This is important toprevent erratic behavior and data loss which canoccur if the engine start does not have a separatebattery.• Raymarine specified cables are used.• Cables are not cut or extended, unless doing so isdetailed in the installation manual.Note: Where constraints on the installationprevent any of the above recommendations,always ensure the maximum possible separationbetween different items of electrical equipment, toprovide the best conditions for EMC performancethroughout the installationSuppression ferritesRaymarine cables may be fitted with suppressionferrites. These are important for correct EMCperformance. If a ferrite has to be removed for anypurpose (e.g. installation or maintenance), it must bereplaced in the original position before the productis used.Use only ferrites of the correct type, supplied byRaymarine authorized dealers.Where an installation requires multiple ferrites to beadded to a cable, additional cable clips should beused to prevent stress on the connectors due to theextra weight of the cable.Connections to other equipmentRequirement for ferrites on non-Raymarine cablesIf your Raymarine equipment is to be connectedto other equipment using a cable not supplied byRaymarine, a suppression ferrite MUST always beattached to the cable near the Raymarine unit.Caution: Sun covers• To protect your product against thedamaging effects of ultraviolet (UV)light, always fit the sun covers when theproduct is not in use.• Remove the sun covers when travellingat high speed, whether in water or whenthe vessel is being towed.Caution: CleaningWhen cleaning this product:• Do NOT wipe the display screen witha dry cloth, as this could scratch thescreen coating.• Do NOT use abrasive, or acid orammonia based products.• Do NOT use a jet wash.Caution: CondensationCertain atmospheric conditions maycause a small amount of condensationto form on the unit's window.
