Maintenance
Cleaning
The eMap is constructed of high quality materials and
does not require user maintenance other than cleaning.
Clean the unit using a cloth dampened with a mild
detergent solution and then wipe dry. Avoid chemical
cleaners and solvents that may damage plastic components.
Battery Care and Storage
Do not mix old and new batteries when replacing
batteries. Do not mix Alkaline, NiCad or Lithium batteries.
Check battery polarity when installing. In order to reduce the
chance for battery leakage in the battery compartment and
map data cartridge slot, remove the batteries when storing
the unit for more than six months.
Water Immersion
The eMap is not waterproof. It may withstand
momentary immersion if retrieved quickly and wiped dry.
However, the battery compartment and map cartridge slot
may retain residual water and should be wiped out with a
clean cloth and allowed to air dry with the compartment
cover removed before re-installing batteries.
Impact Resistance
The eMap unit will withstand occasional impact from
hand to ground without major damage. However, if
frequently used in an outdoor environment, the Impact
Resistant Cover is recommended. (Shown at left.)
