The device is designed to provide route
•
suggestions. It is not designed to replace the
need for driver attentiveness regarding road
closures or road conditions, trafc congestion,
weather conditions, or other factors that may
affect safety while driving.
Battery Warnings
If these guidelines are not followed, the internal
lithium-ion battery may experience a shortened life
span or may present a risk of damage to the GPS
device, re, chemical burn, electrolyte leak, and/or
injury.

•
Do not expose the battery to liquids, re,
•
explosion, or other hazard.
Do not short circuit the battery or allow metallic
•
conductive objects to touch the battery terminals.
Do not drop the device or the battery. If the
•
device or the battery is dropped and you suspect
damage, take the device or battery to a service
center.
When storing the device for an extended time,
•
store within the following temperature range:
from -4° to 95°F (from -20° to 35°C).
Do not operate the device outside of the following
•
temperature range: from 5° to 131°F (from -15°
nüvifone G60 Important Safety and Product Information 3
to 55°C).
Do not charge the device outside of the following
•
temperature range: from 5° to 131°F (from -15°
to 55°C). When outside the temperature range,
the battery may not charge even when the device
is connected to external power. In these cases,
remove the device from the hot location so
that the battery can cool down and be properly
charged.
If using an AC charger or external battery
•
charger, only use the accessory approved for your
product.
Only connect the device to products that either
•
bear the USB-IF logo or have completed the
USB-IF compliance program.
Only replace the battery with the correct
•
replacement battery, according to IEEE-Std-1725-
2006. Using an unqualied battery may present
a risk of re, explosion, leakage, or other hazard.
To purchase a replacement battery, see your
Garmin dealer or the Garmin Web site.
Contact your local waste disposal department to
•
properly recycle/dispose of the device/battery.
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.
The California Electronic Waste Recycling Act of 2003 requires the recycling of certain electronics.
For more information on the applicability to this
product, see www.erecycle.org.
NOTICE REGARDING 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 specic
locations on the windshield. Many other states have
enacted restrictions against placing “non-transparent
material” on the windshield or placing objects on
the windshield in locations that obstruct the driver’s
vision. IT IS THE USER’S RESPONSIBILITY
TO USE THE GARMIN DEVICE AND
MOUNTING OPTIONS IN SUCH A MANNER
THAT THE USER IS IN COMPLIANCE
WITH ALL APPLICABLE LAWS AND
ORDINANCES. Where required, other Garmin
dashboard or friction mount options should be used
to comply with state and local laws and ordinances.
Always mount your Garmin device in a location
4 nüvifone G60 Important Safety and Product Information
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 state or local law or ordinance relating to the
use of your Garmin device.
Pacemakers and Other Medical
Devices
Studies have shown that there may be a potential
interaction between mobile phones and normal
pacemaker operation. The pacemaker industry
recommends that people with pacemakers
follow these guidelines to minimize any risk of
interference with pacemaker operation:
Always maintain a distance of 6 inches (15 cm)
•
between the pacemaker and any mobile phone
that is turned on.
Store the phone on the opposite side of the
•
pacemaker. Do not carry the phone in a breast
pocket.
Use the ear furthest from the pacemaker in order
•
to minimize any potential for interference.
If you think that interference may be occurring,
•
turn off the phone immediately.
For other medical devices, consult with your
physician or the manufacturer to determine if your
mobile phone may interfere with the device, and
to determine any precautions that you can take to
avoid interference.
Avoid Repetitive Motion
You may experience occasional discomfort in your
hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of your
body if you perform repetitive activities, such as
typing on the device. Take frequent breaks. If you
have discomfort while or after using the device,
stop using it and see a physician.
Avoid Hearing Damage
You can permanently damage your ears and lose
hearing if you listen to the receiver, earbuds,
headphones, or headsets at high volume. Turn the
volume down. The volume is typically too loud if
you cannot hear people speaking around you. Limit
the amount of time you listen at high volume. If you
experience ringing in your ears or mufed speech,
stop listening and have your hearing checked.
Radio Frequency Exposure /
Specic Absorption Rate
This device is a transmitter and receiver that
uses its antenna to send and receive low levels of
radio frequency (RF) energy for voice and data
communications. The cellular antenna is located
above the camera lens, along the top edge of the
back of the device. The Wi-Fi and Bluetooth®
antenna is located to the right of the camera lens on
the back of the device.
Regular review of scientic research and studies
has led to the formation of international safety
guidelines and regulations regarding limiting
nüvifone G60 Important Safety and Product Information 5
exposure to this RF energy. This product emits RF
energy below the published limits when operating
in its maximum output power mode and when used
with Garmin authorized accessories. In normal
operation, the device will operate at even lower
output power modes, depending on many factors
including proximity to network cellular towers and
the absence of external interference.
The RF exposure guidelines use a unit of
measurement known as the specic absorption rate,
SAR. The SAR limit applicable to this device set by
the FCC is 1.6 watts per kilogram (W/kg), 1.6 W/kg
by Industry Canada, and 2.0 W/kg by the Council of
the European Union.
This device has been tested and is in compliance
with international SAR Exposure limits. The actual
measured values are as follows:
