Troubleshooting
Problem/Question Solution/Answer
My nüvi never gets satellite
signals.
How do I clear all my user
data?
The nüvi is locked up/frozen.
The touch screen is not
responding to my taps
properly.
My battery gauge does not
seem accurate.
My phone will not connect to
the nüvi.
How do I know my nüvi is in
USB mass storage mode?
My computer never senses
that the nüvi is connected.
Take your nüvi out of parking garages and away from tall buildings and
trees. Remain stationary for several minutes.
Hold your nger on the lower-right corner of the nüvi’s screen while it is
turning on. Keep your nger pressed until the message appears. Touch
Yes to clear all user data.
If the nüvi screen stops functioning, turn the nüvi off and on again. If this
does not help, slide the Power key to the left and hold for 8 seconds.
Turn the nüvi back on. The nüvi should operate normally.
Turn the nüvi off and then back on. Slide Power key to the right (lock).
Hold your nger on the screen for about 30 seconds until the calibration
screen appears. Follow the on-screen instructions.
Allow the unit to fully discharge, and then fully charge it (without
interrupting the charge cycle).
Touch Tools > Settings > Bluetooth. Verify that the Bluetooth eld is set
to Enabled.
Make sure your phone is turned on and is less than 10 meters (about 33
feet) away from your nüvi.
See www.garmin.com/bluetooth for more help.
When your nüvi is in USB mass storage mode, a picture of a nüvi
connected to a computer is shown. Also, you should see two new
removable disk drives listed in My Computer.
1. Unplug the USB cable from your computer.
2. Turn the nüvi off.
3. Plug the USB cable into your computer and your nüvi. The nüvi
automatically turns on and goes into USB mass storage mode.
