This may result in corrosion of the plug body along with the electrical contacts in the cable and the unit s power socket Risk of electroly sis corrosion is even greater when the cable is unplugged from the unit but still connected to a power source We recommend you connect the power cable to the auxiliary power switch included in most boat designs If that results in electrical interference or if such a switch is not available we recommend connecting direct to the battery and installing an in line switch This will let you shut off power to the power cable when the unit is not in use When you are not using the unit you should always shut off power to the power cable especially when the power cable is disconnected from the unit WARNING This product must be independently fused with the en closed 3 amp fuse or equivalent even if you connect to a fused accessory or power bus If a malfunction happens inside the unit extensive dam age can occur if the enclosed fuse is not used As with all electrical devices this unit could be damaged to a point that it is unrepairable and could even cause harm to the user when not properly fused Failure to use a 3 amp fuse will void your warranty 31 If possible keep the power cable away from other boat wiring especially the engine s wires This will provide the best isolation from electrical noise If the cable is not long enough splice 18 gauge wire onto it The display power c

AA commissioned the system on July 11 2003 WAAS is designed to increase GPS accuracy to within 7 6 meters vertically and horizontally but it consistently delivers accuracies within 1 2 meters horizontal and 2 3 meters vertical according to the FAA It does this by broadcasting correction signals on GPS frequencies Your unit automati cally receives both GPS and WAAS signals However there are some fringe areas of the U S including parts of Alaska that do not yet receive robust WAAS coverage Continued WAAS development is planned to extend WAAS coverage in the years to come WAAS boosts the accuracy of land GPS navigation but the system is designed for aircraft The satellites are in a fixed orbit around the Equator so they appear very low in the sky to someone on the ground in North America Aircraft and vessels on open water can get consis tently good WAAS reception but terrain foliage or even large man made structures can sometimes block the WAAS signal from ground receivers You ll find that using your GPS receiver is both easy and amazingly accurate It s easily the most accurate method of electronic navigation available to the general public today Remember however that this receiver is only a tool Always have another method of navigation avail able such as a map or chart and a compass Also remember that this unit will always show navigation information in the shortest line from your present position to a waypoint rega
