Electronic charts displayed by the device are believed to be accurate and reliable, but they
are not intended to replace official charts which should remain your main reference for all the
matters related to the execution of safe navigation. For this reason we would like to remind
you that you are required to carry on board and use the officially published and approved
nautical charts.
Please be aware that the serial ports are not opto-isolated and therefore the peripherals are
electrically connected to the device. This allows the connection of high speed peripherals,
like Fish Finder. If you are connecting a NMEA0183 peripheral and you would like to isolate
it from the device, you have to add the opto-isolator externally.

electrical shock can result
