Cleaning screen

[crappiefarmer]

I have some pollen and dust on my 798 screen. What is the best way to clean it without scratching the screen. Thanks.CF

I use eye glass cleaner and clothes that we get at the optomotrist and I have never scratched mine.

I think H/B recommends a vinegar based glass cleaner. Be careful what you use, some cleaners may remove the screen coating.

From the Humminbird FAQs: Humminbird: America

"What products can be used to clean my display?

Humminbird recommends using Windex® Vinegar Multi Surface(in the spray bottle).Do NOT use any wipes products (which can also be available as the brand name Windex Multi-Task).
The lens contains a special coating which improves visibility. It is recommend to use the above cleaner becausewe have testedand provedthis cleaner. Itdoes not deteriorate the coatings on the lens."

We all need to remember that using a cleaner product other than what HB recommends can possibly void the warranty if your choice of another cleaner damages the coating on the screen...

Warranties and product recommendations are to protect the "company" also...

For just dust/pollen I use a Swifter duster. For cleaning use whatever the manufacturer recommends.

i bought windex with vinegar a couple weeks ago and when i wiped my 798 screen with a microfiber towel.
It was look like it just a brand new.

I will second that the wipes removes the coating HB puts on the screen at the factory and makes it a lot harder to read in the sunlight. I switched over to using the disposable screen protectors that I found on eBay and change them out when the screen gets dirty, usually every 2-3 months.
