Important Information 1

Important Information

Intended use

RayTech RNS V5.0 is intended for recreational marine use. Users should note that only

authorized government charts and associated Notices to Mariners contain all the

information required for safe navigation.

Safety notices

WARNING:Navigation aid

When this product is used within a navigation system, it is only

an aid to navigation. It’s accuracy can be affected by many

factors, including equipment failure or defects, environmental

conditions and improper use or handling. It is the users

responsibility to exercise common prudence and navigational

judgements. This product should not be relied upon as a

substitute for such prudence and judgement. Always maintain

a permanent watch so that you can respond to situations as

they develop.

WARNING:Product installation

This equipment must be installed and operated in accordance

with the Raymarine instructions provided. Failure to do so

could result in poor product performance, personal injury, and/

or damage to your boat.

Disclaimers

This electronic chart is an aid to navigation designed to facilitate the use of authorized

government charts, not to replace them. Only official government charts and notices to

mariners contain all of the current information needed for the safety of navigation, and

the Captain is responsible for their prudent use.

This program and its charts do not excuse the user from carrying the required official

charts and documents.

Raymarine does not warrant that this product is error free or that it is compatible with

products manufactured by any person or entity other than Raymarine.

This product utilizes digital chart data, and electronic information from the Global

Positioning System (GPS) and weather information which may contain errors.

2 RayTech RNS V5.0 - User’s Manual

Raymarine does not warrant the accuracy of such information and you are advised that

errors in such information may cause the product to malfunction or give incorrect

readings. Raymarine is not responsible for damages or injuries caused by your use or

inability to use the product, by the interaction of the product with products

manufactured by others, or by errors in chart data or information utilized by the

product provided by third parties.

Except for the limited warranty regarding the magnetic media contained in the license

agreement accompanying the product, this product is provided ‘AS IS’ without

warranty of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to the implied

warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, and any others

which may arise from course of performance, course of dealing, or usage of trade.

The limits of electronic navigation

Experienced navigators know not to rely on a single method of navigation for

determining their position. Two or more methods should be used to determine position

and guard against errors placing you or your boat in a dangerous position. Global

Positioning System (GPS) based electronic navigation is an amazing application of

technology, but like all other technology, has limits. A wise navigator will understand

these limits and how they affect the safety of their boat and crew.

The Global Positioning System is made up of components starting with ground based

computers to monitor and maintain the system made up of 24 satellites in orbit around

the earth. The system ends at your boat’s receiver. Like all systems it is not perfect and

any part of it can fail. GPS accuracy varies between 2 and 50 meters.

NMEA 0183 1.0 / 1.5 only supports 2 digits of latitude and longitude,giving a precision

of approximately 60 feet.

NMEA 2.0 / 2.1 supports 3 digits of latitude and longitude, giving a precision of

approximately 6 feet.

Another limitation to the system accuracy is digital charts. These electronic charts are

made by highly skilled cartographers. Surveys on which the cartography is based, were

in some cases, made over 50 years ago. So despite everyone’s best efforts, it may be

possible to have errors in the final product.

Lastly, RayTech software was developed by highly skilled and talented software

engineers and underwent a rigorous test and quality assurance program before being

released. However, it is possible that software issues or malfunctions may remain

undetected in the software. While Raymarine make every effort to find, fix and repair

software issues as they are discovered, this product is specifically not promised to be

issue free.
