Interfacing the
6000i
The 6000i can be connected to a wide
variety of compatible marine devices,
including Northstar’s echo sounder and
radar. A qualified marine electronics tech-
nician should perform these installations.
For details, contact your local authorized
Northstar dealer.
Maintaining the
6000i
Basic maintenance
To help retain the 6000i’s best possible
performance, Northstar recommends the
following:
• be sure to keep the cartridge access
door closed at all times, except when
you’re changing the chart cartridge, to
prevent moisture and dirt from
entering the 6000i
• don’t change the cartridge while the
6000i is exposed to water spray, rain, or
moisture of any kind
• keep spare cartridges in a safe,
watertight place where they won’t be
misplaced
• keep fingerprints off the display screen
(remove any prints with a lens cleaning
cloth)
• remove dirt and grime using a soft
cloth and Windex or soap and water
• don’t scratch the display by wiping a
sandy or salty cloth across it
• use the 6000i’s protective plastic
sunshield when not in use (excessive
heat from the sun can cause damage)
• don’t open the 6000i’s case—there aren’t
any user-serviceable parts inside
• always keep the rear connectors’ plastic
caps on when they are not in use (the
connectors are not waterproof unless
covered)
Cleaning the display screen
Be careful when cleaning the glass window
covering the display screen. Although the
window is scratch-resistant, you may
damage the anti-reflective coating if you
use a dry cloth to wipe dirt off. Always use
a damp cloth with plenty of water to
remove salt or dirt. To remove any oil or
Pre-packaged moist
towellettes (especially
those containing a small
amount of alcohol) are
excellent for cleaning
the 6000i’s display win-
dow. You might want to
keep a supply on hand
to wipe off fingerprints
and other smudges.
