WARNING: See the Important Safety and Product Information guide in the product box
for product warnings and other important information.

State law in Minnesota and California prohibits and/or restricts drivers from using suction mounts on their
windshields while operating motor vehicles. (See California Vehicle Code 26708(a); Minnesota Statutes
Section 169.71.) Other Garmin dashboard or friction mounting options should be used in those states. Check
your state and local laws and ordinances where you drive, as other states may enact similar prohibitions or
related restrictions against windshield objects that obstruct the driver’s vision (Michigan and New Jersey law
currently prohibits windshield objects that obstruct the driver’s vision). Remember to always mount your
Garmin unit in a location that does not obstruct the driver’s view of the road. Garmin does not assume any

responsibility for any nes, penalties, or damages that may be incurred as a result of disregarding this notice or

as a result of any other state or local law or ordinance relating to use of the unit.

Step 3: Acquire Satellites

Step 4: Use the nüvi

With your nüvi connected to a power outlet
in your vehicle, travel outdoors to an open
area, out of garages, and away from tall
buildings. Stop your vehicle. Acquiring
satellite signals may take a few minutes.

The bars indicate GPS satellite
strength. When one bar is green, the nüvi
has acquired satellite signals. Now you can
