Notes
The GNS 430 display lens is coated with a special 
anti-reflective coating which is very sensitive to 
skin oils, waxes, and abrasive cleaners. CLEAN-
ERS CONTAINING AMMONIA WILL HARM 
THE ANTI-REFLECTIVE COATING. It is very 
inportant to clean the lens using an eyeglass lens 
cleaner which is specified as safe for anti-reflective 
coatings and a clean, lint-free cloth.
