3.1 Maintenance
Regular maintenance is essential for good
performance. Check the items listed in the ta-
ble below monthly to help keep your equip-
ment in good shape for years to come.
3.2 How to Clean the
Display Unit
Dust or dirt may be removed from the cabinet
with a soft cloth. Water-diluted mild detergent
may be used if desired. DO NOT use chemi-
cal cleaners to clean the display unit; they
may remove paint and markings. Wipe the
LCD carefully to prevent scratching, using the
cleaning cloth provided and an LCD cleaner.
To remove dirt or salt deposits, use an LCD
cleaner, wiping slowly with a cleaning cloth so
as to dissolve the dirt or salt. Do not use sol-
vents such as thinner, acetone or benzene for
cleaning. Also, do not use degreaser or anti-
fog solution on the LCD, as they can strip the
coating on the LCD.
3.3 Transducer Main-
tenance
Marine life on the face of the transducer will
result in a gradual decrease in sensitivity.
Check the face of the transducer regularly for
cleanliness. Carefully remove any marine life
