Chapter 1: Important information

Raymarine recommends certified installation by a
Raymarine approved installer. A certified installation
qualifies for enhanced product warranty benefits.
Contact your Raymarine dealer for further details,
and refer to the separate warranty document packed
with your product.
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: Product installation and
operation
This product must be installed and
operated in accordance with the
instructions provided. Failure to do so
could result in personal injury, damage
to your vessel and/or poor product
performance.
Warning: Minimum Safe Depth
The Minimum Safe Depth setting is
used during Autorouting to restrict the
created route from entering water that is
to shallow for the vessel.
Bottom depth is taken from compatible
electronic navigational charts and
Minimum Safe Depth is a user
calculation. As both of these factors
are outside of Raymarine's control,
Raymarine will not be held liable for any
damage, physical or otherwise, resulting
from the use of the Autorouting feature
or the Minimum Safe Depth setting.
Warning: Autorouting
Routes created using the Autorouting
feature rely on Bottom Depth information
taken from compatible electronic
cartography and a user defined Minimum
Safe Depth value. As both of these
values are subjective the generated
route MUST be carefully checked and
if necessary edited BEFORE starting to
follow the route in the Chart application.
Important information
Warning: Autorouting — Traffic
separation
The Autorouting feature does 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 Autorouting to create
any part of a route which will cross traffic
lanes or pass near to traffic separation
lines. In these situations Autorouting
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.
