IMPORTANT: READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE USING YOUR 010-01097-00/010-01113-00 System:

Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals—Your wireless handheld tracking system is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is on, it receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals. In August 1996, The Federal Communications Commissions (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for handheld wireless radios. Those guidelines are consistent with safety standards previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies: American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE. C95.1 1992; National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) Report 86; International Commission on Non Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1996. Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic evaluations of the relevant scientific literature. For example, over 130 scientists, engineers, and physicians from universities, government health agencies, and industry reviewed the available body of research to develop the ANSI Standard (C95.1). The design of your radio complies with the FCC guidelines (and those standards).

For body-worn and face-held operation, this radio demonstrates compliance and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines for uncontrolled exposure (general population) when used with approved accessories supplied with or designed for this product. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.

vi

Antenna Care—Use only the supplied antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the radio and may violate FCC regulations. Do not use any radio that has a damaged antenna, because if it comes into contact with your skin, a minor burn can result.

Electronic Devices—Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. However, certain equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from your wireless radio.

Pacemakers—The Health Industry Manufacturers Association (HIMA) recommends that a minimum separation of six inches (6”) be maintained between a handheld wireless radio and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the independent research by and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research. Persons with pacemakers should ALWAYS keep the radio more than six inches from their pacemaker when

the radio is turned on, should not carry the radio in a breast pocket, should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference, and should turn the radio off immediately if you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place.

Hearing Aids—Some digital wireless radios may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.

Tracking System Owner’s Manual - Draft

Tracking System Owner's Manual F6 6			1/16/2007 1:51:37 PM

Other Medical Devices—If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine if it is adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.

Turn your radio OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.

Vehicles—RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.

Posted Facilities—Turn your radio OFF in any facility where posted notices so require.

Commercial Aircraft—Many commercial airlines prohibit the use of radios on board. Switch OFF your radio before boarding an aircraft or check the airline rules.

Blasting Areas—To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your radio OFF when in a “blasting area” or in areas posted: “Turn off two way radio.” Obey all signs and instructions.

Introduction >

Potentially Explosive Atmospheres—Turn your radio OFF and do not remove your battery when you are in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. Obey all signs and instructions. Sparks from your battery in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.

Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always clearly marked. They include fueling areas such as gasoline stations, below deck on boats, fuel or chemical

transfer or storage facilities; vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane); areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders; and any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.

Caring for the Tracking System

The cases are constructed of high-quality materials and does not require user maintenance except cleaning.

Cleaning the Cases

Clean both unit’s outer casing (except for the receiver’s screen) using a cloth dampened with a mild detergent solution and then wipe dry. Avoid chemical cleaners and solvents that may damage plastic components.

Cleaning the Screen

Clean the Receiver’s screen using a soft, clean, lintfree cloth. Use water, isopropyl alcohol, or eyeglass cleaner if needed. If these are used, apply the liquid to the cloth, and then gently wipe the screen with the moistened cloth.

Storage

Do not store the Tracking System 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, are 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 software).

Water Immersion

The Tracking System is waterproof to IEC Standard 60529 IPX7. It can withstand immersion 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.

Using the Mapping Databases

Many of the Receiver features require detailed mapping data in order to be fully operational, so you may want to transfer maps before using the unit. The microSD card (provided with some units) can be loaded with detailed maps from optional MapSource disks for your PC to enhance the versatility of your unit. With selected MapSource detailed mapping data, you can view listings of nearby restaurants, lodging, shopping centers, attractions and entertainment, and even retrieve addresses and phone numbers for any listed location. The amount of data transferable is limited to the capacity printed on the microSD card.

Map data transfer requires the USB Interface Cable provided with the unit to transfer MapSource data from a PC to the microSD card in the Receiver. To transfer data to the microSD card you can also use the USB Mass Storage feature on page 69.

You can purchase high capacity microSD cards at your local electronics supplier. See the Garmin

Web site (http://www.garmin.com/cartography/) for compatible MapSource products.
