SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Safety Instructions for the Installer WARNING Do not work inside the equipment unless totally familiar with electrical circuits. Hazardous voltage which can shock, burn or cause serious injury exists inside the equip- ment. Turn off the power at the mains switchboard before beginning the installation.
System Configuration The GP-1850/1850D mainly consists of a display unit and a GPS antenna. A DGPS beacon receiver is provided inside the display unit for GP-1850D type. The mini chart card drive in the display unit loads electronic charts. External equipment which may be connected include an autopilot and a DGPS beacon receiver (GP- 1850).
