Page 10 KH 2026 CAU TION HAN DLING OF ELEC TRO STATIC-SENSITIVE SEMI CON DUC TOR DE VICES Certain semiconductor devices used in the equipment are liable to damage due to static voltage. Observe the following precautions when handling these devices in their unterminated state, or sub-units containing these devices: Persons removing sub-units from an equipment containing these devices must be earthed by a wrist strap and a resistor at the point provided on the equipment.
Page 11 KH 2026 PREFACE Manta is designed to be flexible and expandable making it ideal for use in Integrated Bridge Systems (IBS), as well as for standalone Radar Systems and Electronic Chart Display Information Systems (ECDIS). When used in standalone systems the Manta Display is dedicated for use as either a Radar Display or as an ECDIS Display.
