WARNING

Your Bendix/King product is of superior design and craftsmanship and should be treated
with care. The suggestions below will help you enjoy the product for many years.

• Keep the Skymap and all its parts and accessories out of the reach of small

children.

• Keep the Skymap dry. Precipitation, humidity and liquids containing minerals will

corrode the electronic circuits.

• Do not use or store the Skymap in dusty, dirty areas as its components may be

damaged.

• Do not store the Skymap in excessively hot areas. High temperatures can shorten

the life of electronic devices, damage batteries and warp or melt plastics.

• Do not store the Skymap in excessively cold areas and try to avoid transferring the

unit suddenly from a cold to a warm environment. When the unit warms up to its
normal temperature, condensation can form inside, which may damage the

electronic circuits. If you suspect that there may be internal condensation, allow the
unit to warm up slowly and the condensation to clear of its own accord before

applying power.

• Do not attempt to open the casing. Only trained and qualified Honeywell technicians

can service and repair your unit. Other than the data card the Skymap contains no

user-serviceable parts. Non-expert handling may damage the Skymap.

• Do not drop or knock the Skymap. Rough handling may damage the case or

internal components.

• Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents or strong detergents to clean the

Skymap. Wipe it with a clean, dry cloth.

• Do not dispose of the Skymap by fire.
