You are responsible for the safe and prudent operation of your vessel. This device is a tool that will enhance your capability to operate your vessel. This device does not relieve you from the responsibility of safely operating your vessel. Avoid navigational hazards and never leave the helm unattended.
Use this device only as a navigational aid. Do not attempt to use the device for any purpose requiring precise measurement of direction, distance, location, or topography.
Always be prepared to promptly regain control of the vessel. Use caution near hazards in the water, such as docks, pilings, and other vessels.
If the device has navigating capabilities when navigating, carefully compare information displayed on the device to all available navigation sources, including information from visual sightings, local waterway rules and restrictions, and maps. For safety, always resolve any discrepancies or questions before continuing navigation.

FCC Warnings
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals –Your device is a radio transmitter and receiver. When it is on, it receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals.
Antenna Care –Use only the supplied antenna or a recommended antenna accessory. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage
the radio and may violate FCC regulations. Warning: Do not use any radio that has a damaged antenna, because if it comes into contact with your skin, a minor burn can result.
Electronic Devices –Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. However, certain equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from your wireless radio.
Pacemakers –The Health Industry Manufacturers Association (HIMA) and Wireless Technology Research recommend that a minimum separation of six inches (6”) be maintained between a handheld wireless radio and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. Persons with pacemakers should ALWAYS keep the radio more than six inches from their pacemaker when the radio is turned on, should not carry the radio in a breast pocket, and should turn the radio off immediately if Do you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place.
Hearing Aids– Some digital wireless radios may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Posted Facilities –Turn your radio OFF in any facility where posted notices so require.

Vehicles –RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.
Commercial Aircraft –Many commercial airlines prohibit the use of radios on board. Switch OFF your radio before boarding an aircraft or check the airline rules.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres– Turn your radio OFF and do not remove your battery when you are in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. Obey all signs and instructions. Sparks from your battery in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
