Caring for the GPSMAP 378/478

The GPSMAP 378/478 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 might damage plastic

components.

Cleaning the Screen

The GPSMAP 378/478 screen should be cleaned using a soft, clean,

lint-free cloth. Water, isopropyl alcohol, or eyeglass cleaner can be

used if needed. If these are used, apply the liquid to the cloth and

then gently wipe the screen with the moistened cloth.

Storage

Do not store the GPSMAP 378/478 where prolonged exposure

to temperature extremes might occur (such as in the trunk of a

car) as permanent damage could result. User information, such as

waypoints and routes, 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 downloading it to a

computer (transferring it to MapSource).

Water Immersion

The GPSMAP 378/478

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.
