7. Maintenance

7.1 Fish Finder Maintenance

Follow these simple procedures to ensure your FF718LiC-WLA continues to deliver top performance:

If the unit comes into contact with salt spray, wipe the affected surfaces with a cloth dampened in fresh water.
Do not use a chemical glass cleaner on the lens; this may cause cracking.
When cleaning the LCD protective lens, use a chamois and non-abrasive, mild cleaner. Be careful to avoid scratching the lens.
Never leave the unit in a closed car or trunk - the extremely high temperatures generated in hot weather can damage the electronics.

7.2 Wireless Sonar Sensor Maintenance

After using the Wireless sonar sensor in salt water, wipe the affected surfaces with a cloth dampened with fresh water.
The Wireless sonar sensor Cuprum-switch must be rinsed with fresh water after exposure to salt water to prevent corrosion.
If your Wireless sonar sensor remains out of the water for a long period of time, it may take some time to wet it when returned to the water. Small air bubbles can cling to the surface of the Wireless sonar sensor and interfere with proper operation. Wipe the face of the Wireless sonar sensor with a wet cloth to remove them.
Never leave the Wireless sonar sensor in a closed car or trunk - the extremely high temperatures generated in hot weather can damage the electronics.
