INTRODUCTION > CARING FOR THE VISTA CX
Caring for the Vista Cx
The Vista Cx 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 may damage plastic components.
Cleaning the Screen
Clean the Vista Cx screen using a soft, clean, lint-
free cloth. Use water, isopropyl alcohol, or eyeglass
cleaner if needed. When using these agents, apply the
liquid to the cloth, and then gently wipe the screen
with the moistened cloth.
Storage
Do not store the Vista Cx where prolonged exposure
to temperature extremes may occur (such as in the
trunk of a car) as permanent damage may 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
software).
Water Immersion
The Vista Cx 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.
