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.

Frequency Selection Tips

For best results, select a frequency below

90.1 FM.

When searching for an appropriate FM
frequency on your FM stereo, look for
an unused frequency that has steady,
consistent static. If you hear slight noises
and sounds in the background of the
static, choose a different frequency.

As you travel, you might need to change
the frequency for the FM transmitter.
A frequency not used by a radio station
in your area might be used by a station
elsewhere.

FM Transmitter Information

The FM transmitter is intended to
transmit your nüvi’s audio to your FM
stereo.

Do not adjust your FM settings while
you are driving your vehicle.

DRAFT

The distance between the vehicle power
cable, the nüvi, and the FM stereo
antenna may also affect the noise level.
Vehicles with antennas located far
away, such as a rear-mounted antenna,
may experience more interference from
outside noise sources than vehicles with
front-mounted antennas.

As you drive, you may notice changes
in the background static even though
there is no FM station using that
channel. You may notice this as you
drive through intersections where certain

kinds of trafc lights or other municipal

electronic systems are operating. You
might also notice this effect when the
terrain changes, allowing distant stations
to be received by your car stereo that
were not received when you made your
initial frequency selection. These and
other sources of electrical interference
may make it necessary to look for
another frequency.

About GPS Satellite Signals

Your nüvi must acquire GPS (Global
Positioning System) satellite signals to
navigate. If you are indoors, near tall
buildings or trees, or in a parking garage,
your nüvi cannot acquire satellites.
Go outside to an area free from tall
obstructions to use your nüvi.

When your nüvi has acquired satellite
signals, the signal strength bars on the
Menu page are green . When it
loses satellite signals, the bars turn red or
clear .

For more information about GPS, go to

www.garmin.com/aboutGPS.

Caring for Your nüvi

Your nüvi contains sensitive electronic
components that can be permanently
damaged if exposed to excessive shock
or vibration. To minimize the risk of
damage to your nüvi, avoid dropping
your unit and operating it in high-shock
and high-vibration environments.

Cleaning the Unit

The nüvi is constructed of high-quality
materials and does not require user
maintenance other than cleaning. Clean
the unit’s outer casing (not the touch
screen) using a cloth dampened with
a mild detergent solution, and then
wipe dry. Avoid chemical cleaners
and solvents that can damage plastic
components.

Cleaning the Touch Screen

Clean the touch screen with a soft, clean,
lint-free cloth. Use water, isopropyl
alcohol, or eyeglass cleaner, if needed.
Apply the liquid to the cloth, and then
gently wipe the touch screen.

Protecting Your nüvi

Do not store the nüvi where

•
prolonged exposure to extreme
temperatures can occur, because it
can cause permanent damage.

Do not expose the nüvi to water.

•
Contact with water can cause this unit
to malfunction.

Though a PDA stylus can be used

to operate the touch screen, never
attempt this while operating a vehicle.
Never use a hard or sharp object to
operate the touch screen, or damage
may result.

Important Legal Notice Regarding Your FM Transmitter

Your nüvi product contains an FM
transmitter. Read the following notices.

Using Your nüvi FM
Transmitter in Europe

Use of FM transmitters is currently
illegal in certain European countries due

to specic radio frequency restrictions.

You must check the local regulations
in all European countries in which
you intend to use the FM transmitter
to ensure its legality. You accept full
responsibility for complying with all
such laws and regulations applicable
in your particular country of operation.
Garmin disclaims all responsibility for
your failure to follow local laws and
regulations. See www.garmin.com/fm-

notice for more information.

DRAFT

Using Your nüvi FM
Transmitter in the United
States

While use of FM transmitters is legal in
the United States, the allowable output
power for FM transmitters is lower in the
United States than it is in those European
countries that allow FM transmitters.
The nüvi models sold in Europe contain
the higher powered European FM
transmitter and cannot be legally used
in the United States. You accept full
responsibility for complying with all
such laws and regulations applicable in
your particular country of operation. You
must disable the FM transmitter before
using your European model nüvi in the
United States.
