WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Do not open the equipment.
Only qualified personnel
should work inside the
equipment.
If conductors are exposed, replace cable.
If loosened, secure tightly.
If corroded, clean.
If out of ratings, correct problem.
Marine life on the transducer will result in a
gradual decrease in sensitivity. Check the
transducer face each time the boat is
drydocked. Carefully remove any marine
life with piece of wood or fine sandpaper.
Dust or dirt may be removed with a soft
cloth. Water-diluted mild detergent may be
used if desired. DO NOT use chemical
cleaners to clean the display unit; they
may remove paint and markings.
Wipe the LCD carefully to prevent
scratching, using tissue paper and an LCD
cleaner. To remove dirt or salt deposits,
use an LCD cleaner, wiping slowly with
tissue paper so as to dissolve the dirt or
salt. Change paper frequently so the salt
or dirt will not scratch the LCD. Do not use
solvents such as thinner, acetone or
benzene for cleaning.
