Introduction >  Caring for the GPSMAP 96/96C The GPSMAP 96/96C 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 can damage plastic components. Cleaning the Screen The GPSMAP 96/96C screen should be cleaned using a soft, clean, lint-free cloth. Water, isopropyl alcohol, or eyeglass cleaner can be used if needed. If these are used, apply the liquid to the cloth and then gently wipe the screen with the moistened cloth. Storage Do not store the GPSMAP 96/96C where prolonged exposure to temperature extremes can occur (such as in the trunk of a car) as permanent damage can 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 PC (transferring it to MapSource). Water Immersion The GPSMAP 96/96C 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 or charging. vi 96/96C Owner's Manual
