Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your EagleNav car radio, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Screen Cleaning: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently wipe the screen. For stubborn smudges, slightly dampen the cloth with water or a screen-safe cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

- Lag or Slow Response: While the unit is designed for smooth operation, performance can be affected by the number of running applications or the complexity of tasks. Close unnecessary apps or restart the unit if performance degrades.
