Caring for the GPSM�P 76Cx
The GPSMAP 76Cx case is constructed of
high quality materials and does not require user
maintenance except cleaning.
Cleaning the Case
Clean the unit’s outer casing (except for the screen)
using a cloth dampened with a mild detergent solution
and then wipe dry. Avoid chemical cleaners and
solvents that may damage plastic components.
Cleaning the Screen
The unit’s lens is coated with a special anti-reective
coating that is sensitive to skin oils, waxes and
abrasive cleaners. Cleaners containing ammonia,
alcohol, abrasives, or anti-grease detergents will harm
the anti-reective coating. It is important to clean the
lens using an eyeglass lens cleaner (that is specied as
safe for anti-reective coatings) and a clean, lint-free
cloth.
Storage
Do not store the GPSMAP 76Cx where prolonged
exposure to temperature extremes may occur (such
as in the trunk of a car) as permanent damage may
result. User information, such as waypoints and routes
are retained in the unit’s memory without the need
for external power. It is always a good practice to
back up important user data by manually recording
it or downloading it to a computer (transferring it to
MapSource).
Water Immersion
The unit is waterproof to IEC Standard 60529 IPX7.
It can withstand immersion in 1 meter of water for 30
minutes. Prolonged submersion can cause damage to
the unit. After submersion, be certain to wipe and air
dry the unit before reuse.
