Page 10: Transmitted Power Density Levels
Caution: Service and maintenance This product contains no user serviceable components. Please refer all maintenance and repair to authorized Raymarine dealers. Unauthorized repair may affect your warranty. Transmitted power density levels • A power density level of 10 W/m is likely at distances of 34 cm or less from the radar scanner. •... -
Page 11: Compass Safe Distance
– More than 2 m (6.6 ft) from the path of a radar beam. A radar beam can normally be assumed to spread 20 degrees above and below the radiating element. • The product is supplied from a separate battery from that used for engine start. This is important to prevent erratic behavior and data loss which can occur if the engine start does not have a separate battery. -

Page 22: Antenna Position
5.1 Antenna Position The optimum height for the HD Digital Radome Antenna (the antenna) is a location that is high enough above the waterline to give a long range line-of-sight to the horizon, but not so high as to be adversely affected by the boat's pitching and rolling. - Page 23 Planing hull vessels, and some displacement hull vessels, adopt a higher bow angle when the vessel is at cruising speed. This may raise the radar’s main radiation angle, and can cause poor detection of nearby targets. It may be necessary to compensate for the bow rise to ensure optimum target detection.
-
Page 24: Compass Safe Distance
5.2 Compass safe distance To prevent potential interference with the vessel's magnetic compasses, ensure an adequate distance is maintained from the product. When choosing a suitable location for the product you should aim to maintain the maximum possible distance from any compasses. Typically this distance should be at least 1 m (3.3 ft) in all directions. However for some smaller vessels it may not be possible to locate the product this far away from a compass. -

Page 36: Mounting The Antenna
Mounting the Antenna Use a mounting location that: • Is robust enough to support the HD Digital Radome Antenna, under seagoing conditions. Antenna Position • Meets the requirements described under Then: 1. Prepare the mounting platform as in the following illustration. - Page 37 2. Place the HD Digital Radome Antenna in position. If you are fitting it on a planing vessel, shim the rear of the antenna, so that the beam points slightly down in the forward direction when the boat is at rest, to compensate for the bow rising at cruising speed 3.
- Page 38 4. Ensuring that the bolts do not enter the antenna base more than 25 mm (1 inch), secure the antenna with the 4 bolts flat washers and spring washers provided, as illustrated. If necessary, use appropriate shims or extra washers to limit the length of bolt entering the antenna base. 5.
