Battery Warnings
Your GPS unit uses user-replaceable batteries. If these
guidelines are not followed, the batteries may experience
a shortened life span or may present a risk of damage
to the unit, re, chemical burn, electrolyte leak, and/or
injury.
Do not leave the unit exposed to a heat source or in
a high temperature location, such as in the sun in an
unattended vehicle. To prevent damage, remove the
unit from the vehicle or store it out of direct sunlight,
such as in the glove box.
Do not use a sharp object to remove the batteries.
Do not incinerate the batteries or unit.
Keep the batteries away from children.
Do not disassemble, puncture, or damage the
batteries.
Only replace the batteries with the correct

real-time clock, and the following warnings also apply:
Do not remove or attempt to remove the non-userreplaceable battery.
When disposing of the unit, take it to a professional
service, such as a waste electronics treatment facility,

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 some
inaccurate or incomplete data. In some countries,
complete and accurate map information is either not
available or is prohibitively expensive.
The California Electronic Waste Recycling Act of
2003 requires the recycling of certain electronics. For
more information on the applicability to this product, see
www.erecycle.org.
NOTICE REGARDING WINDSHIELD
MOUNTING LEGAL RESTRICTIONS: Before
using the suction cup mount on your windshield,
check the state and local laws and ordinances where
you drive. Some state laws prohibit drivers from
using suction mounts on their windshields while
operating motor vehicles. Other state laws allow the
suction mount to be located only in specic locations
on the windshield. Many other states have enacted
restrictions against placing “non-transparent material”
on the windshield or placing objects on the windshield
in locations that obstruct the driver’s vision. IT IS
THE USER’S RESPONSIBILITY TO USE THE
GARMIN DEVICE AND MOUNTING OPTIONS
IN SUCH A MANNER THAT THE USER IS IN
COMPLIANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE LAWS
AND ORDINANCES. Where required, other Garmin
dashboard or friction mount options should be used to
comply with state and local laws and ordinances. Always
mount your Garmin device in a location that does not
