WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
Before using your
CobraMarine
TM
MC 600C chartplotter please read these
general precautions and warnings.
Electronic charts displayed by the chartplotter 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 a 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 read through this manual before the first operation. If you have any
questions, please contact the customer service or your local chartplotter dealer or
distributor.
Extensive exposure to heat may result in damage to the chartplotter.
Connection to the power source with reversed polarity will damage the
chartplotter severely. This damage is not covered by the warranty.
Do not disassemble. The chartplotter contains dangerous high voltage circuits
which only experienced technicians MUST handle.
The C-MAP
TM
C-CARDs are available from your local dealer.
Exposure of the display to UV rays may shorten the life of the liquid crystals used
in your plotter. This limitation is due to the current technology of the LCD displays.
Avoid overheating which may cause loss of contrast and, in extreme cases, a
darkening of the screen. Problems which occur from overheating are reversible
when temperature decreases.
SCREEN CLEANING PRECAUTIONS
Cleaning your chartplotter screen is a very important operation and must be done
carefully, as the window's surface is covered with and antireflective coating. The
following is the cleaning procedure: you use a tissue or lens tissue and a cleaning
spray containing Isopropanol (a normal spray cleaner sold for PC screens, for
example PolaClear by Polaroid). Fold the tissue or lens tissue into a triangular
shape, moisten the tip and use the index finger behind a corner to move the tissue
across the surface, in overlapping side to side strokes. If the tissue is too wet, a
noticeable wet film will be left in its path and you will need to repeat the process. If
too dry, the tissue won’t glide easily, and may damage the surface.
