MAINTENANCE AND WARRANTY
MAINTENANCE
Your 160 is designed to provide years of trouble free operation with
virtually no maintenance. Follow these simple procedures to ensure your
160 continues to deliver top performance.
If the unit comes into contact with salt spray, simply wipe the affected
surfaces with a cloth dampened in fresh water. Do not use a chemical glass
cleaner on the lens. Chemicals in the solution may cause cracking in the
lens of the unit.
When cleaning the LCD protective lens, use a chamois and non-abrasive,
mild cleaner. Do not wipe while dirt or grease is on the lens. Be careful to
avoid scratching the lens.
If your boat remains in the water for long periods of time, algae and other
marine growth can reduce the effectiveness of the transducer. Periodically
clean the face of the transducer with liquid detergent. Pivoting the transducer
up in the bracket may allow better access for inspection or cleaning.
If your boat remains out of the water for a long period of time, it may take
some time to wet the transducer when returned to the water. Small air
bubbles can cling to the surface of the transducer and interfere with proper
operation. These bubbles dissipate with time, or you can wipe the face of
the transducer with your fingers after the transducer is in the water.
Never leave the 160 in a closed car or trunk—the extremely high
temperatures generated in hot weather can damage the electronics.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Do not attempt to repair the 160 yourself. There are no user serviceable
parts inside, and special tools and techniques are required for reassembly
to ensure the waterproof integrity of the housing. Repairs should be
performed only by authorized Techsonic technicians.
Many requests for repair received by Techsonic involve units that do not
actually need repair. These units are returned "no problem found." If you
have a problem with your 160, use the following troubleshooting guide
before calling Customer Support or sending your unit in for repair. The 160
contains several tools that can aid in determining if there is a problem and
how to isolate and repair the problem in many cases.
