If you should not, it might cause a serious result to affect health and death. Warning of software bug: This system is controlled by software. If ECDIS should not work normally, it is suspected of a software bug. In this case, turn POWER switch off once and turn it on again after a few minutes later. Inform HEADWAY service of this again. Instruction before Use ECDIS is useful equipment for navigation but it might not work well because of a failure of sensor and connected equipment or receiving wrong ship information. This should be used with adequate caution in order not to cause serious marine distress such as ship collision, grounding and etc. You had better not depend only on the information got from ECDIS, because some error is included in the signals from high-performance sensors (GPS, gyrocompass, speed log, radar, AIS transponder and etc.) which are connected with ECDIS and the electronic charts might not be updated. Therefore during navigation you should judge based on the information from the lookout and other navigators as well as that from ECDIS. It is responsible for users to have technical skill about navigation and pay attention to the safe navigation. ECDIS does not exempt users from their responsibilities at all. You should prepare paper charts which cover the navigating sea area onboard if backup ECDIS is not equipped or you do not have ENC which covers the whole area. Only ENC (Electronic Navigational Chart) issued by the hydrographic office in each country is an official chart for ECDIS. ECDIS always gets information from such EPFS (Electronic Position Fixing System) sensors as GPS and etc., to know the own ship position and SOG (Speed Over Ground),and also all position information of electronic chart, tracked targets, AIS targets, radar image, route data created by a user and etc., is based on WGS-84. Be sure to set GPS datum for WGS-84 and never change it, otherwise all of the position information might be shown incorrectly. The information transmitted from AIS transponder is not always correct. For instance, when a ship is in port and the only power switch of the AIS transponder is turned on with the power switches of all sensors onboard tuned off, false information of latitude, longitude, heading, speed and etc., may transmit to ECDIS. In this case, [N/A] is shown on the ECDIS screen, but this is not an error. In using ECDIS, read this book carefully and persons who are familiar with this ECDIS should operate.
