Appendix Caring for Your BlueChart Card BlueChart cards are not waterproof. When you are not using the card, keep it in the original packaging for safekeeping and store it away from exposure to sun and rain. BlueChart cards are susceptible to damage from static electricity. In low humidity environments, you should ground yourself on a large metal object before handling the card. The card packaging is sealed and does not contain any user-serviceable parts. Reading the ID Code on a BlueChart Card Preprogrammed BlueChart cards have a seven-digit ID code. This identification system uses the following conventions: A BB CCC D Product M=data card X=microSD card Region AE=Asia, East (for example, Japan, China, and Indonesia) AF= Africa AW=Asia, West CA=Canada EU=Europe (including all of the Mediterranean Sea) PC=Pacific Ocean (for example, Australia and New Zealand) SA=South America, Central America, and Mexico US=United States and Caribbean BlueChart Reference Number Coverage Size S=Small B=Bathymetric R=Regular X=Extra large L=Large or extended J=Jumbo For the most recent listing of available BlueChart cards, visit the Garmin Web site at www.garmin.com. From the Maps and Charts section of the Garmin Web site, you can view the listing of available BlueCharts, the areas of coverage, and the paper charts contained within each card.
