Important Safety and Warning Information
Please read carefully before use.
When navigating the vessel, use the B&G Zeus system only as a navigational
aid. Proper navigation of the vessel is the sole responsibility of the vessel
operator.
The electronic chart used by the Zeus System is an aid to navigation only
and is designed to supplement, not replace, offi cial government charts. Only
offi cial government charts supplemented by notices to mariners contain the
information required for safe and prudent navigation. Always supplement the
electronic information provided by the B&G Zeus with other plotting sources
such as observations, depth soundings, radar and hand compass bearings.
Should the information not agree, the discrepancy must be resolved before
proceeding any further.
Never operate the Zeus in Simulate Mode while you are underway. It is
the user’s responsibility to ensure that Simulate Mode is used only in safe
situations such as when you are moored in a marina.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the US Government which is
solely responsible for its operation, accuracy and maintenance. The GPS system
is subject to changes which could affect the accuracy and performance of all
GPS equipment anywhere in the world.
The accuracy of the Echosounder depth display can be limited by many
factors, including the type of transducer, the location of the transducer, and
water conditions. Ensure that the transducer is installed correctly and the
Echosounder is used correctly.
