GPS CLEANING
The Geko 301 is constructed of high quality materials and does not require user main-
tenance 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 long periods of time is not recommended. In
order to reduce the chance for battery leakage in the battery compartment, remove the bat-
teries when storing the unit for more than six months.
Do not store the Geko 301 where prolonged exposure to temperature extremes may oc-
cur (such as in the trunk of a car) as permanent damage may result. User information, such
as waypoints, routes, etc. will be 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).
WATER IMMERSION
The Geko 301 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 dry the compartments before reuse.
