Introduction
Care Information
Cleaning the Unit and Wrist Strap
The Foretrex 201 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 de-
tergent solution and then wipe dry. Avoid chemical cleaners and solvents that may damage
plastic components.
The wrist strap should be hand washed with mild detergent in warm or hot water. Blot
dry then air dry. Do not machine wash.
Storing the Foretrex 201
Do not store the Foretrex 201 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 will be 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 Foretrex 201 is waterproof to IEC Standard 60529 IPX7. It can withstand immer-
sion 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.
