Appendix C
Cleaning
The StreetPilot III 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.
Storage
Storing alkaline batteries in the unit for extended periods is not recommended. In order to reduce
the chance for battery leakage in the battery compartment and map data card slot, remove the batteries
when storing the unit for more than six months.
Water Immersion
The StreetPilot III is waterproof to IEC Standard 529 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 remove the batteries and map cartridge and dry the compartments before reuse.
