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.

Caring for the Unit

The case is constructed of high quality materials and
does not require user maintenance, except cleaning.

Cleaning the Case

Clean the unit’s outer casing (except for the 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

The unit’s lens is coated with a special anti-reective

coating that is sensitive to skin oils, waxes and abrasive
cleaners. Cleaners containing ammonia, alcohol,
abrasives, or anti-grease detergents will harm the anti-

reective coating. It is important to clean the lens using
an eyeglass lens cleaner (that is specied as safe for
anti-reective coatings) and a clean, lint-free cloth.

Water Immersion

The unit 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.
