Mounting the nüvi on the Windshield

Check your state and local trafc 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.

If you want to mount the nüvi on your dashboard instead, see page 52.

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
12/24-Volt 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.

2. Flip up the GPS antenna on the back of the nüvi, so
that it is parallel to the ground.

3. Turn on the nüvi. Acquiring satellite signals can take
a few minutes.

a destination and navigate to it. To use the nüvi indoors, close the GPS antenna.

About GPS Satellite Signals

Your nüvi must acquire GPS (Global Positioning System) satellite signals to operate.
If you are indoors, near tall buildings or trees, or in a parking garage, the nüvi might
not acquire satellites. Go outside to an area free from tall obstructions to use your
nüvi, or close the antenna to turn off the GPS and use it indoors.

When the nüvi acquires satellite signals, the signal strength bars on the Menu page are
green . When it loses satellite signals, the bars turn red or disappear .
Touch the signals strength bars in the upper-left corner of the Menu page to view GPS
information. Touch anywhere on the screen to return to the Menu page.

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.

● 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, because it can damage the screen.

● Keep the nüvi in the leather carrying case when not in use.

nüvi 310/360 Owner’s Manual 53

appendIx

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.

Changing the Fuse

An AGC/3AG 2 Amp, high-breaking capacity, 1500 A-rated fuse is located 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.

Battery Information

Your nüvi contains an internal (non-removable) lithium-ion battery. Contact your local
waste disposal department for information on properly disposing of the nüvi.

Battery Tips

● Your nüvi’s battery should last 4 to 8 hours, depending on usage.

● To extend the battery life, reduce the time the backlight stays on. On the Menu

page, select Settings > Display > Backlight Timeout to change the setting.

● Close the antenna when you do not need to receive

● Do not leave your nüvi in direct sunlight, and avoid prolonged exposure to

Important Information

MAP DATA INFORMATION: One of the goals of
Garmin is to provide customers with the most complete

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.
