Extreme Weather Care Tips

The Active 20 unit is waterproof to IP68 standard.
Which means that it has been tested to 1.5m of still
water submersion for 1.5 hours. But some care is
still needed when handling the unit in wet conditions.
To be fully waterproof the battery pack has to
be properly inserted and the USB door correctly
closed.
Your GPS unit is fitted with toughened Gorilla Glass,
which has a very high resistance to scratching. After
use for cleaning use a soft, damp cloth and avoid
using cleaning agents.
MapCards: Please do not expose the microSD
MapCards to water. They should be kept dry and
clean at all times. NEVER insert a damp, wet or dirty
map card into the Active 20.
USB and Battery fully closed

In extreme weather conditions:

If you wish to provide your Active 20 with an extra
degree of impact protection you may wish to
purchase the optional Active 20 Carry Case, which
is specific for this device, having slightly different
dimensions to the earlier Active 10/12. The carry
case has a vertical 10cm loop, allowing for belt
attachment.
You can also carry the unit around your neck on the
lanyard.
The interior of the unit should not be exposed to
water or dust. Avoid changing the batteries or map
card whilst exposed to bad weather conditions.
With the USB door, or battery back open, the Active
20 will not remain weatherproof. Should water or
significant dust enter the Active 20, do not switch it
back on until it has been completely dried out or the
dust has been removed.

In the case of water ingress:

Once indoors, remove the battery pack and any SD
MapCard that may be fitted.
Wipe down the unit with a soft dry cloth.
Place the Active 20 and components in a warm, dry
place (e.g. on a window sill near a heater or airing
cupboard), with the front end tilted up slightly and let
them dry completely, preferrably overnight.
If you are unsure about any damage to your Active
20, please contact our technical team who will be
able to give you advice on how to proceed, and if
necessary, repair your unit accordingly. Please refer
to Satmap.com for the 'contact us' tab.

2.10 Missing / worn parts:

You will need to send your Active 20 back to Satmap
for repair if parts have been lost or worn down.
Failure to do so may result in partial or complete
loss of warranty, as it will no longer be weatherproof.
Rubber seals: The watertight seal on the USB port
and the main Battery Pack of the Active 20 should
always remain properly intact to prevent water
leaking into the unit. If either of these seals is lost
or damaged, they should be replaced straight away;
spare parts are available from Satmap.
Rocker pad & Keypad :
If your rocker pad or keypad
buttons are badly worn or ripped, this can cause
water to leak into the unit.
