Important Information; Ensure Safe Navigation; Minimum Safe Depth, Width And Height; Automatic Route Generation - Raymarine LIGHTHOUSE 3 Advanced Operation Instructions

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 official 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 official government charts, notices to mariners, caution and
proper navigational skill when operating this or any other Raymarine product.
Warning: Minimum Safe Depth, Width 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
areas that are not suitable for the vessel.
Minimum safe settings are user defined calculations. As these calculations 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 width or Minimum safe
height settings.
Warning: Automatic route generation
• Do NOT rely on automatically generated routes 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.
• If a waypoint within any automatically generated route is added or moved the
Automatic route generation algorithm will NOT be used, extra care should
be taken to ensure that the route leg and any moved waypoints are safe to
navigate.
Warning: Traffic separation
Automatic route generation features do not adhere to the Traffic Separation
Schemes identified 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 traffic lanes or pass near
to traffic 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 transducer 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 7.6 m (25 ft) of the
transducer.
