Storage 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 may damage plastic components. Do not store the GPSMAP 60CSx where prolonged exposure to temperature extremes may occur (such as in the trunk of a car) as permanent damage may result. User information, such as waypoints and routes are 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). Cleaning the Screen Water Immersion The GPSMAP 60CSx 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. The GPSMAP 60CSx 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. vi GPSMAP 60CSx Owner's Manual INTRODUCTION > Warning Failure to avoid the following potentially hazardous situations could result in an accident or collision resulting in death or serious injury. When navigating, carefully compare information displayed on the GPSMAP 60CSx to all available navigation sources, including information from visual sightings, and maps. For safety, always resolve any discrepancies or questions before continuing navigation. Use the electronic chart in the GPSMAP 60CSx only to facilitate, not to replace, the use of authorized government charts. Official government charts and notices to mariners contain all information needed to navigate safely. WARNING: This product, its packaging, and its components contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or reproductive harm. This Notice is being provided in accordance with California's Proposition 65. If you have any questions or would like additional information, please refer to our Web site at http://www.garmin.com/prop65. GPSMAP 60CSx Owner's Manual vii INTRODUCTION > Caution Failure to avoid the following potentially hazardous situations may result in injury or property damage. Use the GPSMAP 60CSx only as a navigational aid. Do not attempt to use the GPSMAP 60CSx for any purpose requiring precise measurement of direction, distance, location, or topography. This product should not be used to determine ground proximity for aircraft navigation. The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the United States government, which is solely responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. The government's system is subject to changes which could affect the accuracy and performance of all GPS equipment, including the GPSMAP 60CSx. Although the GPSMAP 60CSx is a precision navigation device, any navigation device can be misused or misinterpreted and, therefore, become unsafe. Map Data Information: One of the goals of Garmin is to provide customers with the most complete and accurate cartography that is available to us at a reasonable cost. We use a combination of governmental and private data sources, which we identify in product literature and copyright messages displayed to the consumer. Virtually all data sources contain inaccurate or incomplete data to some extent. This is particularly true outside the United States, where complete and accurate digital data is either not available or prohibitively expensive. viii GPSMAP 60CSx Owner's Manual GETTING STARTED > GETTING STARTED Unit Overview LCD Display Screen Power Key Auxiliary GPS Antenna Connector (under weather cap) USB connector port (under weather cap) GPSmap 60CSx Internal antenna External Data/Auxilary Power Port (under weather cap) Battery compartment locking D-ring Carry Lanyard attachment slot Battery compartment cover Keypad GPSMAP 60CSx Owner's Manual 1 GETTING STARTED > Installing the Batteries The GPSmap 60CSx operates on two AA batteries (not included), which are located in the back of the unit.
