Warning
Failure to avoid the following potentially
hazardous situations could result in an
accident or collision resulting in death or
serious injury.
When installing the unit in a vehicle, place the
unit securely so that it does not interfere with
vehicle operating controls or obstruct the driver’s
view of the road (see diagram).
Do not mount
where driver’s
field of vision
is blocked.
Do not mount in front of an
airbag field of deployment.
When navigating, carefully compare information
displayed on the unit to all available navigation
sources, including information from street signs,
visual sightings, and maps. For safety, always
resolve any discrepancies or questions before
continuing navigation.
WARNING: This product, its packaging, and its components contain chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or reproductive harm. This Notice is being provided
in accordance with California’s Proposition 65. If you have any questions or would like additional
information, please refer to our Web site at
Do not place
unsecured on
the vehicle
dash.
http://www.garmin.com/prop65.
Always operate the vehicle in a safe manner.
Do not become distracted by the unit while
driving, and always be fully aware of all driving
conditions. Minimize the amount of time spent
viewing the screen of the unit while driving and
use voice prompts when possible. Do not input
destinations, change settings, or access any
functions requiring prolonged use of the unit’s
controls while driving. Pull over in a safe and
legal manner before attempting such operations.
The unit contains a non-user-replaceable,
rechargeable lithium-ion battery. The battery
may present a risk of fire or chemical burn if
mistreated.
• Do not remove from the unit, heat unit above
140°F (60°C), or incinerate.
• Dispose of unit properly. Contact your local
waste disposal department for information on
properly disposing of lithium-ion batteries.
Caution
Failure to avoid the following potentially
hazardous situations may result in injury or
property damage.
The unit is designed to provide you with route
suggestions. It does not reflect road closures
or road conditions, traffic congestion, weather
conditions, or other factors that may affect safety
or timing while driving.
Use the unit only as a navigational aid. Do not
attempt to use the unit for any purpose requiring
precise measurement of direction, distance,
location, or topography. This product should
not be used to determine ground proximity for
aircraft navigation.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is
operated by the United States government,
which is solely responsible for its accuracy
and maintenance. The government’s system
is subject to changes which could affect the
accuracy and performance of all GPS equipment,
including the unit. Although the unit is a
precision navigation device, any navigation
device can be misused or misinterpreted and,
therefore, become unsafe.
Important Information
MAP DATA INFORMATION: One of the goals of Garmin is to provide customers with the most
complete and accurate cartography that is available to us at a reasonable cost. We use a combination of
governmental and private data sources, which we identify in product literature and copyright messages
displayed to the consumer. Virtually all data sources contain inaccurate or incomplete data to some
degree. This is particularly true outside the United States, where complete and accurate digital data is
either not available or prohibitively expensive.
NOTICE TO DRIVERS IN CALIFORNIA AND MINNESOTA
California and Minnesota from using suction mounts on their windshields while operating motor
vehicles. Other Garmin dashboard or friction mounting options should be used. For available accessories,
refer to the Garmin Web site at
using the included mounting disk with the suction cup mount. Garmin does not take any responsibility
for any fines, penalties, or damages that may be incurred as a result of disregarding this notice. (See
California Vehicle Code Section 26708(a); Minnesota Statutes 2005, Section 169.71)
