Caring for the Unit

The case is constructed of high quality materials and does not require user maintenance, except cleaning.

Cleaning the Case

Clean the unit’s outer casing (except for the screen) using a cloth dampened with a mild detergent solution and

then wipe dry. Avoid chemical cleaners and solvents that may damage plastic components.

Cleaning the Screen

The unit’s lens is textured to reduce glare, and is sensitive to skin oils, waxes and abrasive cleaners. Cleaners

containing ammonia, alcohol, abrasives, or anti-grease detergents will harm the anti-reflective coating. It is

important to clean the lens using an eyeglass lens cleaner (that is specified as safe for anti-reflective coatings)

and a clean, lint-free cloth.

Water Immersion

The unit is waterproof to IEC Standard 60529 IPX7. It can withstand immersion in 1 meter of water for 30

minutes. Prolonged submersion can cause damage to the unit. After submersion, be certain to wipe and air dry

the unit before reuse.
