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.
NOTICE REGARDING WINDSHIELD

mounts on their windshields while operating

and ordinances for similar restrictions. Other

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

Preface
Caring for Your c510
Your c510 contains sensitive electronic
components that can be permanently
damaged if exposed to excessive shock
or vibration. To minimise the risk of
damage to your c510, avoid dropping
your unit and operating it in high-shock
and high-vibration environments.
Protecting Your c510
•
•
Cleaning the Unit
The c510 is constructed of high-quality
materials and does not require user
maintenance other than cleaning. Clean
the unit’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.
Do not store the c510 where
prolonged exposure to extreme
temperatures can occur (such as in
the boot of a car), because it can
cause permanent damage.
Do not expose the c510 to water.
Contact with water can cause this unit
to malfunction.
Though a PDA stylus can also be
used to operate the touch screen,
never attempt this while operating
a vehicle. Never use a hard or sharp
object to operate the touch screen or
damage may result.
