It should be serviced only by authorized Raymarine service
technicians.

damaged cables
Cleaning the display
CAUTION:
Take care when cleaning the display. Avoid wiping the display
screen with a dry cloth as this could scratch the screen coating.
If necessary, only use a mild detergent.
Never use chemical or abrasive materials to clean the control unit.
If it is dirty, wipe it with a clean, damp cloth.
In certain conditions, condensation may appear inside the display

switching on the illumination for a short time.
EMC advice
When powered up, all electrical equipment produces
electromagnetic fields. These can cause adjacent pieces of
electrical equipment to interact with one another, with a
consequent adverse effect on operation.
To minimize these effects and enable you to get the best possible
performance from your Raymarine equipment, guidelines are
given in the installation instructions, to enable you to ensure
minimum interaction between different items of equipment, i.e.
ensure optimum Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC).
