SAFETY NOTICES
This radar equipment must be installed and operated in accord-
ance with the instructions contained in this manual. Failure to do
so can result in personal injury and/or navigational inaccuracies.
In particular:
1. High Voltage. The scanner unit contains high voltages. Adjust-
ments require specialised service procedures and tools only avail-
able to qualified service technicians – there are no user
serviceable parts or adjustments. The operator should never
remove the scanner unit internal covers or attempt to service the
equipment.
2. E lectromagnetic Energy. The radar scanner transmits electro-
magnetic energy. It is important that the radar is turned off when-
ever personnel are required to come close to the scanner to
perform work on the scanner assembly or associated equipment.
It is recommended that the radar scanner is mounted out of range
of personnel (above head height).
Do not look directly at the antenna at close range as your eyes are
the most sensitive part of the body to electromagnetic energy.
When properly installed and operated, the use of this radar will
conform to the requirements of ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992 Standard
for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Fre-
quency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 Hz to 300 GHz and NRPB,
Board Statement on Restrictions on Human Exposure to Static
and Time Varying Electromagnetic Fields and Radiation, Doc
NRPB, No. 5 (1993).
3. Navigation Aid. This radar unit is only an aid to navigation. Its
accuracy can be affected by many factors, including equipment
failure or defects, environmental conditions, and improper han-
dling or use. It is the user’s responsibility to exercise common
prudence and navigational judgements. This radar unit should not
be relied upon as a substitute for such prudence and judgement.
