Using and taking care of C-Pilot EVO
Let us give you some advices to take advantage of the features of your C-Pilot EVO and to keep it
functional and in order:
The antireflection layer of the touch panel is particularly effective and allows a remarkable

reduction of reflexes. It can suffer from mechanical and chemical wear. To keep it efficient
and in good conditions for a long time, please avoid exposure to dirt or greasy substances.
Fingerprints, for example, contain acid substances that can corrode the antireflection layer in
the most used parts of the display. Also scratches and mechanical abrasion can deteriorate
the layer leading to sub-optimal visibility in particular illumination conditions. We recommend
to clean it when necessary with a tissue for lens cleaning, taking care that dust, sand or other
materials than can scratch it while cleaning are not present. Do not apply excessive pressure
while cleaning: you might damage the touch panel. Stains similar to oily liquids underneath
the touch-panel surface indicate that it has been subjected to excessive pressure and should
be replaced by a qualified technician to guarantee correct operation. Being due to incorrect
handling, this kind of damage is not covered by our warranty.
When you switch it on for the first time, do it outside, in a place with an unobstructed view of

the sky, to allow for the first fix of the GPS. This should occur in a few minutes after powering
your unit on. If you leave C-Pilot EVO off for several days, or format the internal or USB
memory, please follow this procedure again.
Do not cover the upper part of the device where the GPS and BlueTooth antennas, the light

sensor and the speaker are hosted. If you cover them, you might experience low
reception/transmission, low audio volume, bad backlight regulation, less battery life.
Do not cover the hole on the rubber cover of the ports and connectors. Doing so might

interfere with the internal barometer and variometer.
The touch panel is of a very special type to guarantee the maximum display readability in

every lightning condition. The first times that you use it, you might find it more rigid than
those commonly mounted on PDA's. Try getting used to it gradually. Try using the tip of your
finger: this will require less force to activate the touch panel.
C-Pilot EVO can be charged from any 5 V miniUSB charger, but we cannot guarantee that

their power and quality is enough to charge C-Pilot EVO or not to damage it.
We recommend recharging C-Pilot EVO when it is switched off. This will shorten the

recharge time to a maximum of eight hours.
Keep the display surface as clean as possible: dirt and fingerprints can diffuse ambient light

and make the antireflection treatment of C-Pilot EVO less effective. The touch panel features
a surface treatment that makes it easy to clean. Please use a soft tissue (the kind normally
used for sunglasses) and avoid chemicals.
