WARNING: Correct Installation Important
The WeatherStation Instrument must be installed and operated according to the
instructions in this owners guide. Failure to do so could result in poor product
performance, damage to the boat, and/or personal injury.
WARNING: Compass Safe Distance
The WeatherStation instrument must be a minimum of 0.3m (1') from other
standard and steering compasses. Failure to do so may result in poor product
performance, damage to the boat, and/or personal injury.
WARNING: Do Not Install Near Magnetic Field
Observe a safe distance from ferrous metals and anything that can create a magnetic
field to prevent interference to the magnetic compass. Failure to do so may result in
poor product performance, damage to the boat, and/or personal injury.
WARNING: Voltage
The power supply voltage must be 12 VDC. Any other voltage may damage the
product and/or result in fire, damage to the boat, and/or personal injury.
WARNING: Battery
Make power connections to a 12VDC power source that is isolated from the
engine start battery(s). Voltage drops may cause the compass to lose information
and/or change operating mode. This may result in fire, damage to the boat, and/
or personal injury.
WARNING: Fuse or Circuit Breaker
A safe installation requires a 0.5 amp fast-blow fuse or circuit breaker. Failure to
do so may damage the product and/or result in fire, damage to the boat, and/or
personal injury.
WARNING: Installation Safety
Always wear safety goggles and a dust mask when installing to avoid personal injury.
WARNING: Calibrating the Compass
The internal compass must be calibrated on the water after the instrument is
installed. Failure to do so may result in inaccurate compass readings, possibly
contributing to damage to the boat and/or personal injury.
WARNING
Navigation Aid Only—The WeatherStation Instrument is
only an aid to navigation and should never be solely relied
upon. It is not a replacement for traditional navigation aids
and techniques. Only official government charts contain all
the information needed for safe navigation.
