SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

nearest GME dealer or visit our website, www.gme.net.au.

Screen Cleaning Precautions

Use a tissue or lens cloth and a cleaning spray containing
Isopropanol (a normal spray cleaner sold for PC screens).
Fold the tissue or lens cloth 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.

Please read through this manual before the first
operation. If you have any questions, please contact the
customer service or your local dealer or distributor

Extensive exposure to heat may result in damage to the
chartplotter.

Connection to the power source with reversed polarity
will damage the chartplotter severely. This damage is not
covered by the warranty.

Do not disassemble. The chartplotter contains dangerous
high voltage circuits which only experienced technicians
must handle

Exposure of the display to UV rays may shorten the life of
the liquid crystals used in your plotter. This limitation is
due to the current technology of the LCD display.

Avoid overheating which may cause loss of contrast and,
in extreme case, a darkening of the screen. Problems
which occur from over heating are reversible when
temperature decreases.
