Extensive exposure to heat may result in damage to the
fishfinder.
connection to the power source with reversed polarity
will damage the fishfinder severely. this damage is not
covered by the warranty.
Do not disassemble. the fishfinder contains dangerous
high voltage circuits which only experienced technicians
must handle.
Exposure of the display to uV rays may shorten the life
of the liquid crystals used in you plotter. this limitation is
due to the current technology of the lcD display.
Avoid overheating which may cause loss of contrast and,
in extreme case, a darkening of the screen. Problems
which occur from over heating are reversible when
temperature decreases.

Presentation
thank you for having purchased a GmE product. this
handbook contains an explanation of how to install, operate
and maintain your unit.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
if you require technical advice or assistance, contact your
nearest GmE dealer or visit our website, www.gme.net.au.
Screen Cleaning Precautions
use a tissue or lens cloth and a cleaning spray containing
isopropanol (a normal spray cleaner sold for Pc screens).
Fold the tissue or lens cloth into a triangular shape,
moisten the tip and use the index finger behind a corner
to move the tissue across the surface in overlapping side
to side strokes. if the tissue is too wet, a noticeable wet
film will be left in its path and you will need to repeat
the process. if too dry, the tissue won’t glide easily, and
may damage the surface.
