Appendix > Caring for and Reading the ID Code on a g2 Card Appendix Caring for Your BlueChart g2 Data Card BlueChart g2 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 g2 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 g2 Card Preprogrammed BlueChart g2 cards have a seven-digit ID code. This identification system uses the following conventions: A BB CCC D Product 2=BlueChart g2 on Garmin data cards 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 L=Large For the most recent listing of available BlueChart g2 data cards, visit the Garmin Web site at www.garmin.com.
