Important Safety and Warning Information
Please read carefully before use.
When navigating the vessel, use the Lowrance HDS system only as a
navigational aid. Proper navigation of the vessel is the sole responsibility of the
vessel operator.
The electronic chart used by the HDS System is an aid to navigation only and
is designed to supplement, not replace, ofcial government charts. Only ofcial
government charts supplemented by notices to mariners contain the information
required for safe and prudent navigation. Always supplement the electronic
information provided by the Lowrance HDS with other plotting sources such
as observations, depth soundings, radar and hand compass bearings. Should the
information not agree, the discrepancy must be resolved before proceeding any
further.
Never operate the HDS in Simulate Mode while you are underway. It is the
user’s responsibility to ensure that Simulate Mode is used only in safe situations
such as when you are moored in a marina.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the US Government which
is solely responsible for its operation, accuracy and maintenance. The GPS
system is subject to changes which could affect the accuracy and performance
of all GPS equipment anywhere in the world.
The accuracy of the Sonar depth display can be limited by many factors,
including the type of transducer, the location of the transducer, and water
conditions. Ensure that the transducer is installed correctly and the Sonar is used
correctly.
