er source of more than 16 V DC or use reverse polarity. This
will ruin the transceiver.
RWARNING! NEVER
cut the DC power cable between
the DC plug at the back of the transceiver and fuse holder. If
an incorrect connection is made after cutting, the transceiver
may be damaged.
CAUTION: NEVER
place the transceiver where normal
operation of the vessel may be hindered or where it could
cause bodily injury.
KEEP

from the vessel's magnetic navigation compass.
DO NOT
use or place the transceiver in areas with tem-
peratures below –20°C (–4°F) or above +60°C (+140°F) or, in
areas subject to direct sunlight, such as the dashboard.
DO NOT
use harsh solvents such as benzine or alcohol to
clean the transceiver, as they will damage the transceiver's

disassemble or modify the transceiver for any rea-
son.
BE CAREFUL!
