INTRODUCTION > CARING FOR THE GPSMAP 76CSX
Caring for the GPSMAP 76CSx
The GPSMAP 76CSx case is constructed of high quality materials and does not require user maintenance except cleaning.
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 76CSx 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 76CSx 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 76CSx 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 and replace batteries before reuse.

INTRODUCTION > WARNING
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 76CSx 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 76CSx 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.

INTRODUCTION > CAUTION
Caution
Failure to avoid the following potentially hazardous situations may result in injury or property damage. Use the GPSMAP 76CSx only as a navigational aid. Do not attempt to use the GPSMAP 76CSx 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 76CSx. Although the GPSMAP 76CSx 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. In some countries, complete and accurate map information is either not available or is prohibitively expensive.

GETTING STARTED > INITIALIZING THE GPS RECEIVER
Initializing the GPS Receiver
The first time you turn on your GPSMAP 76CSx, the GPS receiver must collect satellite data and establish its current location. To ensure proper initialization, the GPSMAP 76CSx is shipped from the factory in AutoLocate mode, which allows the receiver to "find itself" anywhere in the world. To receive satellite signals, you should be outdoors and have a clear view of the sky.
1. Press and hold the POWER key to turn on the GPSMAP 76CSx. 2. Hold the unit in front of you with the top tilted upward. When the receiver has signals from at least three satellites, the top of the page changes to indicate position accuracy and location coordinates. 3. Press and release the PAGE key until the Map Page appears. You are now ready to begin GPS-aided navigation.
You can also see a sky view of the satellites overhead with your location centered. The outer circle represents the horizon and the inner circle a location 45 degrees from the horizon. The numbers shown indicate the number assigned to each satellite. The bars at the bottom of the page indicates the strength of satellite signal.
The outer circle represents the horizon. The inner circle is 45 degrees from the horizon.

On-Screen Messages
Using the Databases
Optional MapSource CD-ROMs enhance the versatility of your GPSMAP 76CSx. This data is loaded to the MicroSD Card already installed in the unit. With optional MapSource City Navigator data, you can view listings of nearby restaurants, lodging, shopping centers, attractions and entertainment, and even retrieve addresses and phone numbers for any listed location. The included USB Interface Cable or an optional PC interface cable (with a serial connector) is used to transfer MapSource CD-ROM data to the MicroSD card. Mad data transfer requires the USB Interface Cable provided with the unit to transfer MapSource data from a PC to the MicroSD card when installed in the GPSMAP 76CSx. Inserting the MicroSD card in a standard SD card adapter and using a card reader allows for faster data transfer time. See the Garmin Web site (http://www.garmin.com/ cartography/) for compatible MapSource products.
