B. IMPORTANT: WARNINGS AND WARRANTY
WARNING:
As with all electronic devices, especially those used for navigation, some measure of understanding
and responsibility is required by the user. The EKP-IV is an excellent aid to navigation, but it does
NOT replace the need for careful pilotage and good judgment. The EKP-IV can be a powerful
navigational tool, but only with proper training and understanding of its functions. A pilot should
never rely solely on one means of navigation and should always be alert to the circumstances and
conditions that may arise during any flight.
WARNING:
Direct exposure to UV rays on the display of the EKP-IV may shorten the life of the liquid crystals
used for the screen. Avoid overheating which may cause loss of contrast and, in extreme cases,
a darkening of the screen. Problems that may arise from overheating will be reversed when the
temperature decreases.
