Chapter 4: Maintenance

4.1 Introduction

This chapter provides information on maintaining and troubleshooting your A65 
GPS Chartplotter and on how to get assistance from Raymarine.
At regular intervals, carry out the following servicing procedures:
• Routine checks.
• Cleaning the Display.
Do not attempt any other servicing procedures. 

Servicing and Safety

• Raymarine equipment should be serviced only by authorized Raymarine ser-

vice technicians. They will ensure that service procedures and any replace-
ment parts used will not affect performance. There are no user serviceable 
parts in any Raymarine product.

• Some products generate high voltages, so never handle the cables or connec-

tors when power is being supplied to the equipment.

• When powered on, all electrical equipment produces electromagnetic fields. 

These can cause adjacent pieces of electrical equipment to interact with one 
another, with a consequent adverse effect on operation. In order to minimize 
these effects and enable you to get the best possible performance from your 
Raymarine equipment, guidelines are given in the installations manual, to 
enable you to ensure minimum interaction between different items of equip-
ment, i.e. ensure optimum Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC).

• Always report any EMC-related problem to your nearest Raymarine dealer. 

We use such information to improve our quality standards.

• In some installations, it may not be possible to prevent the equipment from 

being affected by external influences. In general this will not damage the 
equipment, but it can lead to spurious re-setting action, or momentarily may 
result in faulty operation.

Routine Checks

Carry out the following tasks on a regular basis:
• Examine all cables for signs of damage, such as chafing, cuts or nicks.
• Check that all cables are securely connected.
