Care Information
Cleaning the Unit
The GPSMAP 276C is constructed of high quality materials and does not require user maintenance
other than cleaning. Clean the unit using a cloth dampened with a mild detergent solution and then
wipe dry. Avoid chemical cleaners and solvents that may damage plastic components.
Storing the GPSMAP 276C
Do not store the GPSMAP 276C 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).
Immersing the Unit in Water
The GPSMAP 276C 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.
To resolve problems that cannot be remedied using this guide, contact Garmin Product Support in the
U.S.A. at 800/800.1020 or Garmin Europe at 44/1794.519944.
