3NOTICE 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 specic 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 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.FCC ComplianceThis device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules.

These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and may cause harmful interference to radio communications if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.••

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 device that is turned on.Store the device on the opposite side of the pacemaker. Do not carry the device 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 device immediately.For other medical devices, consult with your physician or the manufacturer to determine if your mobile device may interfere with the medical device, and to determine any precautions that you can take to avoid interference.••••
5Avoid Hearing DamageYou 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 mufed speech, stop listening and have your hearing checked. Avoid Repetitive MotionYou may experience occasional discomfort in your hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of your body if you perform repetitive activities, such as typing or playing games, on the mobile device. Take frequent breaks. If you have discomfort while or after using the device, stop using it and see a physician.Radio Frequency ExposureThis device is a mobile transmitter and receiver that uses its antenna to send and receive low levels of radio frequency (RF) energy for voice and data communications. The antenna is located along the top of the device, on the opposite side of the Power key.Regular review of scientic research and studies has led to the formation of international safety guidelines and regulations regarding limiting exposure to this RF energy. This mobile 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 mobile 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.To avoid the possibility of exceeding the FCC RF exposure limits, human proximity to the antenna shall not be less than 8 inches (20 cm) during normal operation.
