TRACKER 5505/5505i/5605 Installation and Operation Manual 3 NAVMAN
It is your sole responsibility to install and use Navman’s instrument and GPS antenna in a manner
that will not cause accidents, personal injury or property damage. Always observe safe boating
practices.
The choice, location, angle and installation of the instrument & GPS antenna are critical to
performance of the system as intended. Follow instructions in this manual carefully. If in doubt,
consult your Navman dealer.
Ensure that any holes cut are in a safe position and will not weaken the boat’s structure. If in
doubt, consult a qualified boat builder.
Global Position System: The global Position System (GPS) is operated by the U.S. Government
which is solely responsible for its operation, accuracy and maintenance. The GPS is subject to
changes which could affect the accuracy and performance of all GPS equipment anywhere in the
world, including the TRACKER and TRACKFISH. To reduce the risk of misusing or misinterpreting
the TRACKER and TRACKFISH, you must read and understand all aspects of this Installation &
Operation Manual. We also recommend that practice all operations using the built-in simulator
before using the TRACKER or TRACKFISH.
Electronic Chart: The electronic chart used by TRACKER or TRACKFISH is an aid to navigation
designed to supplement, not replace official government charts. Only official government charts
supplemented by notices to mariners contain the information required for safe and prudent
navigation, Always supplement the electronic information provided by TRACKER or TRACKFISH
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.
Fuel Computer: Do not rely on the fuel computer as the sole source of information regarding
available fuel onboard. Fuel economy can change drastically depending on boat loading and sea
conditions. Fuel Computer information should be supplemented by visual or other checks of the
fuel load. This is necessary due to possible operator errors such as forgetting to reset the fuel used
when filling the tank, running the engine with the Fuel Computer not switched on, or on other
operator actions that may render the device inaccurate. Always carry adequate fuel onboard for
the intended trip, plus a reserve to allow for unforeseen circumstances.
Failure to adhere to these warnings may lead to death, serious injury or property
damage. Navman disclaims all liability for installation or use of this product that causes or
contributes to death, injury or property damage or that violates any law.
