Their design and manufacture conforms to the appropriate Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) standards, but correct installation is required to ensure that performance is not compromised. Although every effort has been taken to ensure that they will perform under all conditions, it is important to understand what factors could affect the operation of the product. The guidelines given here describe the conditions for optimum EMC performance, but it is recognized that it may not be possible to meet all of these conditions in all situations. To ensure the best possible conditions for EMC performance within the constraints imposed by any location, always ensure the maximum separation possible between different items of electrical equipment. For optimum EMC performance, it is recommended that wherever possible: · Raymarine equipment and cables connected to it are: · At least 3 ft. In the case of Single Side Band (SSB) radio, the distance should be increased to 7 ft. A radar beam can normally be assumed to spread 20 degrees above and below the radiating element. · The equipment is supplied from a separate battery to that used for engine start. Voltage drops below 10 V, and starter motor transients, can cause the equipment to reset. This will not damage the equipment, but may cause the loss of some information and may change the operating mode. Cutting and rejoining these cables can compromise EMC performance and must be avoided unless doing so is detailed in the installation manual. Suppression Ferrite If a suppression ferrite is attached to a cable, this ferrite should not be removed. [. . . ] On-board Warranty, the nearest Raymarine approved service agent should be contacted and on-board service requested (which will be subject to the mileage and travel time limits referred to in Section 4 hereof). Before the installed warranty service is performed, the customer must have available, either: (a) Proof of purchase showing the date of purchase, the name of the seller and the serial number of the affected product and proof of installation by a Raymarine certified installer; or (b) A warranty card completed by the seller of the product containing the information required in (a) above. Subject to the limitations and other provisions set forth in this warranty, the product will be either repaired or replaced by Raymarine within a reasonable period of time and at no further cost to the customer. the determination of whether to repair or replace a product shall be at the sole discretion of Raymarine, and shall be the sole remedy of the customer under this warranty. 4.
