Product Operation In High Temperatures - Lighthouse Raymarine gS95 Installation And Operation Instruction 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.
Product operation in high
temperatures
At extreme temperatures, the unit can become very
hot, especially the internal components.
To protect the internal components, the unit
automatically reduces the performance of the main
processor to prevent it from overheating. When this
occurs, you may notice a slight degradation in the
performance of the unit, in terms of responsiveness
to user operation.
This is expected behavior, designed to protect the
unit from the adverse effects of excessive heat.
