4.2 Cleaning the Display Unit

Dust or dirt on the display unit can be removed with a soft cloth. If desired a water-moistened cloth may be used. Do not use chemical clean- ers to clean the display unit; they can remove paint and markings.

For screen, wipe the LCD carefully to pre- vent scratching, using tissue paper and an LCD cleaner. To remove dirt or salt deposits, use an LCD cleaner, wiping slowly with tis- sue paper so as to dissolve the dirt or salt. Change paper frequently so the salt or dirt will not scratch the LCD. Do not use solvents such as thinner, acetone or benzene for cleaning.

4.3 Transducer Maintenance

Marine life on the transducer face will result in a gradual decrease in sensitivity. Check the transducer face for cleanliness each time the boat is dry-docked. Carefully remove any marine life with a piece of wood or fine-grade sandpaper.

4.4 Replacing the Fuse

The fuse on the power cable protects the sys- tem from reverse polarity of the ship’s mains and equipment fault. If the fuse blows, find the cause before replacing it. Use only a 3A fuse. Using the wrong fuse will damage the unit and void the warranty.

WARNING

Use only a 3A fuse.

Use of a wrong fuse can result in equipment damage and void the warranty.
