connect to your mobile phone to become a
hands-free device.

To determine whether your device with
Bluetooth technology is compatible with the

zūmo, go to www.garmin.com/bluetooth.

Pairing Your Devices

Bluetooth wireless technology establishes
a wireless link between devices, such as a

mobile phone and the zūmo. The rst time

you use two devices together, you must
“pair” them by establishing a relationship
using a PIN/passkey. After the initial pairing,
the two devices can connect automatically
each time you turn them on.

To pair and connect, your device and the

zūmo must be turned on and be within 33
feet (10 meters) of each other. The zūmo can

be connected to a phone and a headset at the
same time.

Initiate pairing from your zūmo or from your

device. Refer to the instructions for your
devices.

When you turn on the zūmo, it tries to

connect to the last device to which it was
connected. You might have to set your device

to connect to the zūmo automatically when it

is turned on.

When your phone is connected to your

Removing the zūmo and

Mounts

To remove the zūmo from the cradle on both

the suction cup and motorcycle mounts,
press the button on the side of the cradle, and

tilt the zūmo forward. Place the weather cap

on the motorcycle mount cradle.

To remove the cradle from the suction cup
mount, turn the cradle to the right or the left.
Apply pressure until the socket on the cradle
releases the ball on the mount.



NOTE: Reconnecting the cradle to the

suction cup mount requires signicant
force. Press the ball end rmly into the

socket.

To remove the suction cup mount from the

windshield, ip the lever toward you. Pull

the tab on the suction cup toward you.

Caring for Your zūmo

Your zūmo contains sensitive electronic

components that can be permanently
damaged if exposed to excessive shock
or vibration outside normal motorcycle or
automobile use. To minimize the risk of

damage to your zūmo, avoid dropping your

unit and operating it in extreme high-shock
and high-vibration environments.

Cleaning the Casing

The zūmo is constructed of high-quality

materials and does not require user
maintenance other than cleaning. Clean the
outer casing (not the touchscreen) 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 Touchscreen

Clean the touchscreen 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
touchscreen.

Protecting Your zūmo

Do not store the zūmo where prolonged

•
exposure to extreme temperatures can
occur, because it can cause permanent
damage.

Though a PDA stylus can be used to

•
operate the touchscreen, never attempt
this while operating a vehicle. Never
use a hard or sharp object to operate the
touchscreen, or damage may result.

Troubleshooting

Problem/Question Solution/Answer

My zūmo never gets
satellite signals.

The suction cup
does not stay on my
windshield.

My zūmo does not
charge in my vehicle.

How do I clear all my
user data?

The zūmo is locked
up/frozen.

The touchscreen is
not responding to my
touches properly.

My battery gauge does
not seem accurate.

Take your zūmo out of parking garages and away from tall buildings and trees. Remain stationary for several minutes.

Clean the suction cup and windshield with rubbing alcohol. Dry with a clean, dry cloth. Mount the suction cup as described on

page 6.

Check the fuse in the automotive power cable.
Ensure the vehicle is turned on and is supplying power to the power outlet.
Your zūmo can only charge between 32°F and 113°F (0°C and 45°C). If the zūmo is placed in direct sunlight or in a hot environment,

it cannot charge.

Hold your nger on the lower‑right corner of the zūmo screen while it is turning on. Keep your nger pressed until the message
appears. Touch Yes to clear all user data.

If the zūmo screen stops functioning, turn off the zūmo, and then turn on the zūmo. If this does not help, press the Power button and
hold it for 8 seconds. Turn on the zūmo again. The zūmo should operate normally.

Turn off the zūmo. Hold your nger on the screen and then press and hold the Power button. Hold until the calibration screen
appears.

Follow on‑screen instructions.

Allow the unit to fully discharge, and then fully charge it (without interrupting the charge cycle).

My phone will not

Problem/Question Solution/Answer

How do I know my
zūmo is in USB mass
storage mode?

My computer never
senses that the zūmo is
connected.

I cannot see any new
removable drives in my
list of drives.

I cannot get trafc
information.

When your zūmo is in USB mass storage mode, a picture of a zūmo 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 zūmo off.

3. Plug the USB cable into your computer and your zūmo. The zūmo automatically turns on and goes into USB mass storage
mode.

If you have several network drives mapped on your computer, Windows may have trouble assigning drive letters to your zūmo
drives. See the operating system Help le to learn how to map/assign drive letters.

Verify that you are in a coverage area. You must be in a coverage area to get the trafc information for that area.
Verify that the FM TMC Trafc receiver is connected to the power connector on the cradle and also connected to a power outlet in

your vehicle.
