Caution: Sun covers
• If your product is supplied with a sun cover, to protect against the damaging
effects of ultraviolet (UV) light, always fit the sun cover when the product is
not in use.
• Sun covers must be removed when travelling at high speed, whether in water
or when the vessel is being towed.
Routine equipment checks
It is recommended that you perform the following routine checks, on a regular basis, to ensure the
correct and reliable operation of your equipment:
• Examine all cables for signs of damage or wear and tear.
• Check that all cables are securely connected.
Caution: Product cleaning
When cleaning products:
• Lightly rinse or flush with clean, cool fresh water.
• If your product has a display screen, do NOT wipe the screen with a dry cloth,
as this could scratch the screen coating.
• Do NOT use: abrasive, acidic, ammonia, solvent or other chemical based
cleaning products.
• Do NOT use a jet wash.
Cleaning the display case
The display unit is a sealed unit and does not require regular cleaning. If it is necessary to clean
the unit, follow this basic procedure:
1. Switch off the power to the display.
2. Wipe the display with a clean, soft cloth (a microfibre cloth is ideal).
3. If necessary, use a mild detergent to remove grease marks.
Note:
Do NOT use solvents or detergents on the screen itself.
Cleaning the display screen
A coating is applied to the display screen. This makes it water repellent, and prevents glare. To avoid
damaging this coating, follow this procedure:
1. Switch off the power to the display.
2. Rinse the screen with fresh water to remove all dirt particles and salt deposits.
3. Allow the screen to dry naturally.
4. If any smears remain, very gently wipe the screen with a clean microfibre cleaning cloth.
Cleaning the sun cover
The supplied sun cover features an adhesive surface. In certain conditions unwanted contaminants
may stick to this surface. To avoid damaging the monitor display, clean the sun cover regularly
following this procedure:
1. Carefully remove the sun cover from the display.
2. Rinse the sun cover with fresh water to remove all dirt particles and salt deposits.
3. Allow the sun cover to dry naturally.
