Care Information

Cleaning the Unit
The GPSMAP 198C Sounder is constructed of high quality
materials and does not require user maintenance other than
cleaning. Clean the unit using a cloth dampened with a mild
detergent solution and then wipe dry. Avoid chemical cleaners and
solvents that can damage plastic components.
Storing the GPSMAP 198C Sounder
Do not store the GPSMAP 198C Sounder where prolonged
exposure to temperature extremes can occur (such as in the trunk
of a car) as permanent damage can result. User information, such
as waypoints and routes are retained in the unit's memory without
the need for external power. It is always a good practice to back up
important user data by manually recording it or downloading it to a
PC (transferring it to MapSource.)
