Proper care of your 4.3" LCD screen ensures optimal performance and longevity, keeping your boating experience smooth and trouble-free. Here's how to maintain your screen: Regular Cleaning: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently wipe the screen, removing dust, fingerprints, and smudges. For stubborn dirt, dampen the cloth slightly with water or a screen-safe cleaner. Avoid using abrasive materials, alcohol, ammonia, or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the screen’s surface. Avoid Direct Sunlight: When not in use, try to shield the LCD screen from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Continuous exposure can cause fading, discoloration, or overheating, potentially damaging the display. Protect from Moisture: Although your boat is built for the water, the LCD screen is still sensitive to excessive moisture. Avoid spraying water directly onto the screen and always wipe off any water droplets promptly. For added protection, consider using a screen cover when the boat is not in use. Check Connections: Periodically inspect the wiring and connections to ensure they are secure and free from corrosion. Loose or corroded connections can impact the display's functionality and performance. Adjust Brightness: Set the screen brightness to a comfortable level that’s visible yet not overly bright. This not only conserves battery life but also reduces the strain on the screen. Power Down When Not in Use: Turn off the LCD screen when it's not needed to extend its lifespan. Leaving the screen on unnecessarily can contribute to burn-in and degrade the display over time. Cover When Not in Use: Use a protective cover or shade the display when your boat is docked or stored. This helps prevent UV damage and keeps the screen clean from dust and debris.
