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 high‑vibration environments. Appendix Cleaning the Unit The nüvi is constructed of high‑quality materials and does not require user maintenance other than cleaning. Clean the outer casing of the unit (not the touch screen) using a cloth dampened with a mild detergent solution, and wipe dry. Avoid chemical cleaners and solvents that can damage plastic components. Cleaning the Touch Screen Clean the touch screen with a soft, clean, lint‑free cloth. Use water, isopropyl alcohol, or eyeglass cleaner, if needed. Apply the liquid to the cloth, and gently wipe the touch screen. Protecting Your nüvi • Do not store the nüvi where prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures can occur, because it can cause permanent damage. nϋvi 500 Series Owner's Manual 37
