Field Service Manual
Use this manual to identify and replace certain failed components of a
GPSMAP 7400/7600 series chartplotter.
Repairing and performing maintenance on Garmin electronics is complex work
that can result in serious personal injury or product damage if not done correctly.
Components on the circuit boards hold a high-voltage charge. To be safe,
disconnect the device from power before opening it for service. If you have
power applied to the device while it is open, use caution when working around
the circuit boards located on the inside of the front housing.
Follow the guidelines set forth by Garmin regarding static discharge protection
and a dust-free repair environment to avoid damaging the chartplotter during
repair.
Verify all gaskets are reinstalled or replaced correctly when repairing the
chartplotter to maintain water-resistance.
Garmin is not responsible for, and does not warrant, the work that you or a non-
authorized repair provider perform on your product.
