Tft Displays; Water Ingress - Lighthouse a65 Installation And Operation Instructions Manual

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
vessel 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.
Warning: Touchscreen display
temperature
If the display is mounted where it will be
exposed to prolonged periods of direct
sunlight, the touchscreen may get very
hot due to the absorbed solar energy.
In such conditions Raymarine highly
recommends that you avoid using the
touchscreen:
• For HybridTouch displays, use the
integrated keypad to operate the
display.
• For touch-only systems it is
recommended that an external
keypad is fitted to the system (for
example, the RMK-9 accessory).
Warning: Touchscreen display
Exposure to prolonged rain may cause
erroneous touch performance, in these
situations keep touch activity to a
minimum and wipe the screen with a
dry non-abrasive cloth before using the
touchscreen.
Caution: Transducer cable
• Do NOT cut, shorten, or splice the
transducer cable.
• Do NOT remove the connector.
If the cable is cut, it cannot be repaired.
Cutting the cable will also void the
warranty.
Caution: Power supply protection
When installing this product ensure the
power source is adequately protected
by means of a suitably-rated fuse or
automatic circuit breaker.

NOT try to force a card into position.
• DO NOT use a metallic instrument such
as a screwdriver or pliers to insert or
remove a chart or memory card.

be seen with all color Thin Film Transistor (TFT)
displays.
