Failure to avoid the following potentially hazardous situations may result in injury or property damage.The nüvi is designed to provide you with route suggestions. It does not reflect road closures or road conditions, traffic congestion, weather conditions, or other factors that may affect safety or timing while driving.Use the nüvi only as a navigational aid. Do not attempt to use the nüvi for any purpose requiring precise measurement of direction, distance, location, or topography.

When the Proximity Alarms are on, your nüvi chimes when you approach a Custom POI.  CAUTION: Garmin is not responsible for the consequences of using a custom POI database or the accuracy of the safety camera or other custom POI database. 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 unit and operating it in high shock/vibration environments.Cleaning the UnitThe nüvi 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.New Nuvi 310,360 OM.indd 68 2/24/2006 5:06:35 PM
Cleaning the Touch ScreenClean 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 nüviFollow the cautions below to protect your nüvi from damage:• Do not store the nüvi where prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures can occur (such as in the trunk of a car), as permanent damage may result. • Do not expose the nüvi to water. Contact with water can cause this unit to malfunction.• Do not leave your nüvi in plain sight when you leave your vehicle. Take your unit with you or remove it from view to avoid theft.• 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. Using the nüvi IndoorsClose the antenna to turn off GPS and use your nüvi indoors. Use this setting when you are practicing using the unit or using the Travel Kit features, such as using the MP3 player. Using a Remote AntennaYou can use an optional external remote antenna (Garmin GA 27C). This is very helpful when operating the unit in a vehicle with a coated windshield or an in-screen New Nuvi 310,360 OM.indd 69 2/24/2006 5:06:36 PM
(in the window) heating system, which can block GPS signals. Connect the antenna to the connector located on the back of the nüvi. To purchase, go to the Garmin Web site at http://www.garmin.com/products/nuvi and select the Accessories link. Changing the FuseAn 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. UnscrewCharging the nüviYou can charge the nüvi using the USB cable (see page 17) or the 12/24-Volt car adapter connected to the suction mount. U pdating the nüvi SoftwareGarmin periodically updates its software and map data. If you register your unit, you will receive notifi cation of software and map updates. To see if an update to the nüvi’s system software is available, go to http://www.garmin.com/products/nuvi and New Nuvi 310,360 OM.indd 70 2/24/2006 5:06:36 PM
select Software Updates. To see if an update for your map software is available, go to http://www.garmin.com/unlock/update.jsp. Purchasing Additional MapSource MapsYou can purchase additional MapSource map data from Garmin and load the maps on your nüvi’s internal memory or on an optional SD card. Follow the instructions that came with the new map data to properly install the maps to your computer and nüvi. In order to enable additional maps, you need your unit ID (see page 38) and serial number (see page i). To load maps to your nüvi memory or SD card, select the name for your “nuvi” drive or SD card drive. Refer to the MapSource help file for more information about using MapSource and loading maps on your Garmin GPS. Loading MapSource Waypoints on Your nüviUsing MapSource, you can save locations (also called waypoints) and transfer them to your nüvi. For more information about creating waypoints in MapSource, see the help file (press F1 to open the help file). After you have created the waypoints, select File > Save. Select GPS eXchange Format (*.gpx) for the Save as Type. Click the Save button. With your nüvi connected to your computer, copy the *.gpx file into in the Garmin\Waypoints folder in the “nuvi” drive. The waypoints you created in MapSource are now in My Locations > Favorites. New Nuvi 310,360 OM.indd 71 2/24/2006 5:06:36 PM
Viewing Your Saved Locations in MapSourceYou can also view the locations you have saved in your nüvi using the MapSource program. In MapSource, select File > Open.

Battery Information Your unit contains an internal (non-removable) lithium-ion battery. Contact your local waste disposal department for information on properly disposing of the unit. Battery Tips• Your nüvi’s battery should last 4 to 8 hours depending on usage. The battery gauge indicates the status of the battery. • To extend the battery life, reduce the time the backlight stays on. From the Menu page, select Settings > Display > Backlight Timeout to change the setting. See page 40.• To extend the battery life, close the antenna when you do not need to receive GPS signals. • To increase the accuracy of the battery gauge, fully discharge the battery and then fully charge it. You should not need to do this very often. See “Battery Gauge” in the side bar for more information. • To maximize the life of the lithium-ion battery, do not leave your nüvi direct sunlight and avoid prolonged exposure to excessive heat.
