Appendix Caring for Your nüvi Your nüvi contains sensitive electronic components that can be permanently damaged if exposed to excessive shock or vibration. To minimize the risk of damage to your nüvi, avoid dropping your unit and operating it in high-shock and highvibration environments. Cleaning the Unit The nüvi is constructed of highquality materials and does not require user maintenance other than cleaning. Clean the outer casing of the unit (not the touchscreen) using a cloth dampened with a mild detergent solution, and then wipe it dry. Avoid chemical cleaners and solvents that can damage plastic components. Appendix Cleaning the Touchscreen Clean the touchscreen with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth. Use water, isopropyl alcohol, or eyeglass cleaner, if needed. Apply the liquid to the cloth, and then gently wipe the touchscreen. Protecting Your nüvi • Do not store the nüvi where prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures can occur, because it can cause permanent damage. • Do not expose the nüvi to water. Contact with water can cause this unit to malfunction. • Although a PDA stylus can be used to operate the touchscreen, never attempt this while operating a vehicle. Never use a hard or sharp object to operate the touchscreen because damage might result. nüvi 1690 Owner's Manual 51
