In the case of SSB radios, the distance shouldbe increased to 7 ft (2 m).– More than 2 m (7 ft) from the path of a radar beam. Aradar beam can normally be assumed to spread 20 degreesabove and below the radiating element.• The product is supplied from a separate battery from that usedfor engine start. This is important to prevent erratic behaviorand data loss which can occur if the engine start does nothave a separate battery.• Raymarine specified cables are used.• Cables are not cut or extended, unless doing so is detailed inthe installation manual.Important information 7
