WARNING! This device should not be used as a navigational aid
to prevent collision, grounding, boat damage, or personal injury.
When the boat is moving, water depth may change too quickly to
allow time for you to react. Always operate the boat at very slow
speeds if you suspect shallow water or submerged objects.
WARNING! The electronic chart in your Humminbird unit is an
aid to navigation designed to facilitate the use of authorized
government charts, not to replace them. Only official
government charts and notices to mariners contain all of the
current information needed for the safety of navigation, and the
captain is responsible for their prudent use.
WARNING! Humminbird is not responsible for the loss of data
files (waypoints, routes, tracks, groups, recordings, etc.) that
may occur due to direct or indirect damage to the unit's
hardware or software. It is important to back up your control
head's data files periodically. Data files should also be saved to
your PC before restoring the control head defaults or updating
the software. See the following sections of your Humminbird
manual: Manage Screen Snapshots and Recordings and
Manage your Navigation Data: Import/Export Navigation Data.
