N a v ig a t io n & C o m m u n i ca t io n E q u ip m e n t
The owner's packet contains operation manuals for all navigation
& communication equipment installed on your boat. We strongly
recommend that you thoroughly read and understand these manu-
als before using these systems. Additionally, read the warnings
below carefully and follow all safety recommendations.

VHF Radio (LX models only)

Your boat may include an optional VHF (Very High Frequency)
radio at the helm. The VHF radio can be used to access weather
reports, summon assistance or contact other vessels as permitted
by the FCC (Federal Communications Commission). Be sure to
contact the FCC for licensing, rules and regulations concerning
VHF radio usage.

Compass (LX models only)

Compass accuracy can be affected by many factors. We strongly recommend having a quali-
fied technician calibrate your compass. Make sure the technician gives you a deviation card
which shows the corrections to apply in navigational calculations. Keep a copy of the deviation
card at the helm.

Depth Finder (LX models only)

• DO NOT use the depth finder as a navigational aid to prevent collision, grounding, boat
damage or personal injury.
• When the boat is moving, submerged objects will not be seen until they are already under the
boat. Bottom depths may change too quickly to allow time for the boat operator to react. If
you suspect shallow water or submerged objects, operate the boat at very slow speeds.
A u d i o E q u i p m e nt
The audio equipment installed on your boat has separate manuals (included in your boat's owner's packet) that
explains its operating procedures in detail.
AM radio reception may be impaired in areas where reception is limited or anytime the engine
is running.
