In the event that you are using a Loran-C Navigator for the first time, please

refer to the Raynav

Loran-C Sensor instruction manual for basic

loran information. The Introduction section of the 508 manual includes a

listing of common Loran C Terminology used with loran.

If your

NAV398

is using the

108

GPS Sensor, the

108

instruction manual includes a general description of the GPS system which

may also be helpful. The

108 GPS sensor is compatible with

Raytheon’s Differential Beacon Receiver. If you have added the DGPS
Receiver to your system, a simple explanation of the US Coast Guard’s
DGPS system is included in that manual for your reference.

Section 2

of this manual contains important information concerning the

installation of your new

NAV

unit. Although the typical installation might

seem straightforward and simple, we highly recommend that this section be
read completely and the guidelines for installation be closely followed to
assure a more trouble free and efficient operation of your new unit.

Section

covers the Operations of the

NAV 398

and is intended to get you

thoroughly familiar with the unit’s controls and display formats. The

NAV

uses many on-screen prompts to help guide you through operations and

logical key operations, which should be easy to remember.

The best way to learn about your

NAV 398

is to dive right in. You can’t

damage the unit by randomly pressing the keys, so don’t be afraid to

experiment. If at any time the results appear confusing, just press the
key and start again.

Section

4 contains technical information concerning some basic care and

maintenance for your unit. In the event that the unit should ever require

repairs, it is recommended that these services be provided by an Authorized
Raytheon repair facility or by the Raytheon Factory Service Center.

Before proceeding to install this unit, please take a few moments to fill out

the warranty registration card located behind the front cover of this manual.
You must return this card to Raytheon Marine Company to assure the

registration of the warranty for your

NAV

unit. The postage is prepaid if the

card is mailed within the USA.
