Important Safety and Product Information

Failure to avoid the following potentially hazardous situations could result in an accident or collision
resulting in death or serious injury.

Vehicle Installation Warnings

• When installing the device in a vehicle, place the device securely so it does not obstruct the driver’s
view of the road À or interfere with vehicle operating controls, such as the steering wheel, foot
pedals, or transmission levers. Do not place unsecured on the vehicle dashboard Á. Do not place
the device in front of or above any airbag Â.

• The windshield mount may not stay attached to the windshield in all circumstances. Do not place the
mount where it will become a distraction if it should become detached. Keep your windshield clean to
help ensure that the mount stays on the windshield.

Street Navigation Warnings

If your Garmin® device accepts street maps and suggests routes that follow roads, follow these
guidelines to ensure safe on-road navigation.

• Always use your best judgment, and operate the vehicle in a safe manner. Do not become distracted
by the device while driving, and always be fully aware of all driving conditions. Minimize the amount
of time spent viewing the device screen while driving.

• Do not input destinations, change settings, or access any functions requiring prolonged use of the
device controls while driving. Pull over in a safe and legal manner before attempting such operations.

• When navigating, carefully compare information displayed on the device to all available navigation
sources, including road signs, road closures, road conditions, traffic congestion, weather conditions,
and other factors that may affect safety while driving. For safety, always resolve any discrepancies
before continuing navigation, and defer to posted signs and conditions.

• The device is designed to provide route suggestions. It is not a replacement for driver attentiveness
and good judgement. Do not follow route suggestions if they suggest an illegal maneuver or would
place the vehicle in an unsafe situation.

Battery Warnings

A lithium-ion battery can be used in this device.
If these guidelines are not followed, batteries may experience a shortened life span or may present a
risk of damage to the device, fire, chemical burn, electrolyte leak, and/or injury.

• Do not leave the device exposed to a heat source or in a high-temperature location, such as in the
sun in an unattended vehicle. To prevent the possibility of damage, remove the device from the
vehicle or store it out of direct sunlight, such as in the glove box.

• Do not disassemble, modify, remanufacture, puncture or damage the device or batteries.

• Do not immerse or expose the device or batteries to water or other liquids, fire, explosion, or other
hazard.

• Do not use a sharp object to remove the removable batteries.

• KEEP BATTERIES AWAY FROM CHILDREN.

• Do not use a power and/or data cable that is not approved or supplied by Garmin.

• If using an external battery charger, only use the Garmin accessory approved for your product.

• Only replace batteries with correct replacement batteries. Using other batteries presents a risk of fire
or explosion. To purchase replacement batteries, see your Garmin dealer or the Garmin website.

• Do not operate the device outside of the following temperature range: from -20° to 55°C (from -4° to
131°F).

• When storing the device for an extended time period, store within the following temperature range:
from 0° to 25°C (from 32° to 77°F).

• Do not remove or attempt to remove the non-user-replaceable battery.

• Contact your local waste disposal department to dispose of the device/batteries in accordance with
applicable local laws and regulations.

Magnet Warning

Both the device and its mount may contain magnets. Under certain circumstances, magnets may cause
interference with some internal medical devices, including pacemakers and insulin pumps. Devices and
mounts that contain magnets should be kept away from such medical devices.

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 specific
locations on the windshield. Many other states have enacted restrictions against placing objects on the
windshield in locations that obstruct the driver’s vision. IT IS THE USER'S RESPONSIBILITY TO

MOUNT THE DEVICE IN COMPLIANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE LAWS AND ORDINANCES.

Where required, other Garmin dashboard or friction mount options should be used. Always mount your
Garmin device in a location that does not obstruct the driver’s view of the road. Garmin does not
assume any responsibility for any fines, penalties, or damages that may be incurred as a result of any
state or local law or ordinance relating to the use of your Garmin device.

Magnet Notice

Both the device and its mount may contain magnets. Under certain circumstances, magnets may cause
damage to some electronic devices, including hard drives in laptop computers. Use caution when
devices and mounts that contain magnets are near electronic devices.

Speed Limit Notice

The speed limit feature is for information only and does not replace the driver’s responsibility to abide
by all posted speed limit signs and to use safe driving judgment at all times. Garmin will not be
responsible for any traffic fines or citations that you may receive for failing to follow all applicable traffic
laws and signs.
