WARNINGS
USE GOOD JUDGEMENT
This product is an excellent navigation aid, but does not replace the need for
careful orienteering and good judgement. Never rely solely on one device for
navigating.
USE CARE
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the U.S. Government, which is
solely responsible for the accuracy and maintenance of GPS.
The accuracy of position fixes can be affected by the periodic adjustments to GPS
satellites made by the U.S. Government and is subject to change in accordance
with the Department of Defense civil GPS user policy and the Federal
Radionavigation Plan.
USE CAUTION
Accuracy can also be affected by poor satellite geometry. When the accuracy
warnings appear on the screen, use the data with extreme caution.
USE PROPER ACCESSORIES
Use only Magellan cables and antennas; the use of non-Magellan cables and
antennas may severely degrade performance or damage the receiver, and will void
the warranty.
