PREFACE

Caring for Your StreetPilot 2730

The StreetPilot 2730 is constructed of high quality materials and does not require user maintenance other than cleaning.

Cleaning the Unit

Clean the unit’s outer casing using a cloth dampened with a mild detergent solution and then wipe dry.Avoid chemical cleaners and solvents that can damage plastic components.

Caring for the Touch Screen

The touch screen is intended to be operated with a finger. Never use a hard or sharp object to operate the touch screen or damage may result. Though a PDAstylus can also be used to operate the touch screen, never attempt this while operating a vehicle.

Clean the touch screen using a soft, clean, lint-free cloth. Use water, isopropyl alcohol, or eyeglass cleaner if needed.Apply the liquid to the cloth and then gently wipe the touch screen.

Protecting Your StreetPilot 2730

•Do not store the unit where prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures can occur (such as in the trunk of a car), as permanent damage may result.

•To avoid theft, do not leave your StreetPilot in plain sight when you leave your vehicle.

•Do not store alkaline batteries in the remote control for extended periods of time. To reduce the chance for battery leakage in the battery compartment, remove the batteries when storing the remote control for more than six months.
