Check your state and local trafc laws before mounting. Currently, state laws in

1. Plug the vehicle power cable into the power connector on the right side of the cradle.

2. Snap the cradle onto the suction cup arm.

3. Clean and dry your windshield and the

suction cup with a lint-free cloth. Remove the clear plastic from the suction cup. Place the

suction cup on the windshield.

4. Flip the lever back, toward the windshield.

5. Fit the bottom of your nüvi into the cradle.

6. Tilt the nüvi back until it snaps into place.

7. Plug the other end of the vehicle power cable

into a power outlet in your vehicle. Your unit

should turn on automatically if it is plugged in and your vehicle is running.
