Important Safety Information

WARNING

See the Important Safety and Product Information guide in the product box for product warnings and other

important information.

CAUTION

Always wear safety goggles, ear protection, and a dust mask when drilling, cutting, or sanding.

When drilling or cutting, always check what is on the opposite side of the surface to avoid damaging the vessel.

Mounting Considerations

NOTICE

This device should be mounted in a location that is not exposed to extreme temperatures or conditions. The

temperature range for this device is listed in the product specifications. Extended exposure to temperatures

exceeding the specified temperature range, in storage or operating conditions, may cause device failure.

Extreme-temperature-induced damage and related consequences are not covered by the warranty.

When selecting a mounting location, you should observe these considerations.

• The location should provide optimal viewing as you operate your boat.

• The location should allow for easy access to all device interfaces, such as the keypad, touchscreen, and card

reader, if applicable.

• The location must be strong enough to support the weight of the device and protect it from excessive

vibration or shock.

• To avoid interference with a magnetic compass, the device should not be installed closer to a compass than

the compass-safe distance value listed in the product specifications.

• The location must allow room for the routing and connection of all cables.

• When flush mounting the device, the location must not be a flat, horizontal surface. The location should be in

a vertical angle.

The location and viewing angle should be tested before you install the device. High viewing angles from

above and below the display may result in a poor image.
