CLEANING PROCEDURE FOR THE GPS CHART PLOTTER SCREEN

Cleaning of the chart plotter screen is a very important operation and must be done carefully. Since the surface is covered by a antireflective coating, the procedure for cleaning all the surfaces can be performed using the following procedure: You need a tissue or lens tissue and a cleaning spray (Windex) containing Isopropanol (a normal spray cleaner sold for the PC screen, for example PolaClear by Polaroid). Fold the tissue or lens tissue into a triangular shape, moisten the tip and use the index finger behind a corner to move the tissue across the surface, in overlapping side to side strokes. If the tissue is too wet, a noticeable wet film will be left in its path and you will need to repeat the process. If too dry, the tissue won’t glide easily, and may damage the surface.
