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! Disassembly and repair of this electronic unit should only be performed by authorized
service personnel. Any modification of the serial number or attempt to repair the original equipment or
accessories by unauthorized individuals will void the warranty.
WARNING! This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth
defects or other reproductive harm.
WARNING! Do not travel at high speed with the unit cover installed. Remove the unit cover before
traveling at speeds above 20 mph.
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 unit's defaults or updating the software. See the following sections
of your Humminbird manual: microSD Card Slot and Snapshot and Recording View. Also, contact
Humminbird Customer Service with any questions.
