Mounting the nüvi on the Windshield
Check your state and local trafc laws before mounting. Currently, state laws in California and Minnesota prohibit
drivers from using suction mounts on their windshields while operating motor vehicles. Other Garmin dashboard or
friction mounting options should be used. See the Important Safety and Product Information guide for more details.
If you want to mount the nüvi on your dashboard instead, see page 55.
To mount the nüvi using the suction cup mount:
1. Plug the power cable into the back of the mount. Plug the other end into a 12Volt receptacle in your vehicle.
2. Clean and dry your windshield and the suction cup with a lint-free cloth. Place
the suction cup on the windshield.
3. Flip the lever back, toward the windshield.
4. Flip up the GPS antenna. Fit the bottom of your nüvi into the cradle.
5. Tilt the nüvi back until it snaps into place.

About GPS Satellite Signals
Your nüvi must acquire GPS (Global Positioning System) satellite signals to operate.

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 nüvi and operating it in high shock/vibration environments.
Cleaning the nüvi
The nüvi is constructed of high quality materials and does not require user
maintenance other than cleaning. Clean the nüvi’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 (such as in the windshield), as permanent damage may result.
● Do not expose the nüvi to water. Contact with water can cause the nüvi to
malfunction.

attempt this while operating a vehicle. Never use a hard or sharp object to
operate the touch screen, because it can damage the screen.
● Keep the nüvi in the leather carrying case when not in use.
Avoiding Theft
● To avoid theft, remove the nüvi and mount from sight when not in use. Remove
the mark on the windshield left by the suction cup.
● Use the
Garmin Lock™ feature.

at the tip of the vehicle adapter. Periodically, you may need to change
the fuse. Unscrew the black, round end piece and replace the fuse.
