Unit Care

Cleaning - The unit’s case is constructed of high quality

material and does not require user maintenance other

than cleaning. Clean the unit housing using a cloth lightly

dampened with a mild detergent solution and then wipe

dry. Avoid chemical cleaners and solvents that may damage

plastic components. Do not apply cleaner to electrical

contacts on the back of the unit.

The 172C has an anti-reﬂective coating on the lens that can

be damaged by ammonia based cleaners. When cleaning

the lens use a soft lint free cloth. Don’t apply the cleaner

directly to the lens, apply a small amount of cleaner to the

cloth and then wipe the lens.

Storage - Do not store the unit where exposure to tempera-

ture extremes may occur (see left), as permanent damage

may result. User information, such as waypoints, routes,

etc. is 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 download-

ing it to a PC (see pg. 72).

Water Immersion -The GPSMAP 172/172C 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 remove the data card and dry the compart-

ments before reuse.
