used. Never use chemical solvents to
clean the display; they can remove
paint and markings.
LCD Dust and foreign material on the screen.
Wipe the LCD carefully to prevent
scratching, using tissue paper and an
LCD cleaner. To remove dirt or salt
deposits, use an LCD cleaner, wiping
slowly with tissue 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.
Transducer
Check the transducer face yearly for
marine life, which can reduce sensitivity.
