Chapter 1: Important information
Warning: Ensure safe
navigation
This product is intended only as an aid
to navigation and must never be used
in preference to sound navigational
judgment. Only ofcial government
charts and notices to mariners contain all
the current information needed for safe
navigation, and the captain is responsible
for their prudent use. It is the user’s
responsibility to use ofcial government
charts, notices to mariners, caution and
proper navigational skill when operating
this or any other Raymarine product.
Warning: Minimum Safe
Depth, Beam and Height
Depending on cartography vendor, the
minimum safe settings are used during
automatic route generation, they are used
to restrict created routes from entering
water that is not suitable for the vessel.
Data is taken from compatible cartography.
Minimum safe settings are user dened
calculations. As both of these factors
are outside of Raymarine’s control;
Raymarine will not be held liable for
any damage, physical or otherwise,
resulting from the use of the automatic
route generation feature or the Minimum
Safe Depth, Minimum Safe Beam or
Minimum Safe Height settings.
Warning: Automatic route
generation
Routes created using automatic
route generation use data taken from
compatible electronic cartography and
user dened settings.
• Do not rely on automatic route
generation alone to guarantee that the
route is safe to navigate. You MUST
review the suggested route carefully
and where necessary edit the route
before following it.
• Automatic route generation will NOT
be used when moving waypoints within
routes, extra care should be taken
to ensure that the route leg and any
moved waypoints are safe to navigate.
Warning: Trafc separation
Automatic route generation features
do not adhere to the Trafc Separation
Schemes identied in Rule 10 of the
International Regulations for Preventing
Collisions at Sea 1972 as amended.
Raymarine
®
therefore recommends
that you do NOT use Automatic route
generation to create any part of a route
which will cross trafc lanes or pass
near to trafc separation lines. In these
situations Automatic route generation
MUST be switched Off and the route
or route leg MUST be built manually,
ensuring compliance to the rules laid out
in the above regulations.
Warning: Radar transmission
safety
The radar scanner transmits
electromagnetic energy. Ensure all
personnel are clear of the scanner when
the radar is transmitting.
Warning: Sonar operation
• NEVER operate the sonar with the
vessel out of the water.
• NEVER touch the transducer face when
the sonar is powered on.
• SWITCH OFF the sonar if divers are
likely to be within 7.6m (25ft) of the
transducer.
