establishing a relationship using a PIN/
passkey. After the initial pairing, the two
devices can connect automatically each
time you turn them on.
NOTE: You might have to set
your device to connect to the nüvi
automatically when it is turned on.
Pairing Your Phone
To pair and connect, your phone and the
nüvi must be turned on and be within 10
meters of each other.
Initiate pairing from your nüvi or from
your mobile phone. Refer to your
phone’s instructions.
To pair using the phone settings:
1. Enable the phone’s Bluetooth
component. This might be in a
menu called Settings, Bluetooth,
Connections, or Hands-free.
2. Initiate a search for Bluetooth
devices.
3. Select the nüvi from the list of

Frequency Selection Tips
For best results, select a frequency below
90.1 FM.
When searching for an appropriate FM
frequency on your FM stereo, look for
an unused frequency that has steady,
consistent static. If you hear slight noises
and sounds in the background of the
static, choose a different frequency.
As you travel, you might need to change
the frequency for the FM transmitter.
A frequency not used by a radio station
in your area might be used by a station
elsewhere.
FM Transmitter
Information
The FM transmitter is intended to
transmit your nüvi’s audio to your FM
stereo.
Do not adjust your FM settings while
you are driving your vehicle.
The distance between the vehicle power
cable, the nüvi, and the FM stereo
antenna may also affect the noise level.
Vehicles with antennas located far
away, such as a rear-mounted antenna,
may experience more interference from
outside noise sources than vehicles with
front-mounted antennas.
As you drive, you may notice changes
in the background static even though
there is no FM station using that
channel. You may notice this as you
drive through intersections where certain
kinds of trafc lights or other municipal
electronic systems are operating. You
might also notice this effect when the
terrain changes, allowing distant stations
to be received by your car stereo that
were not received when you made your
initial frequency selection. These and
other sources of electrical interference
may make it necessary to look for
another frequency.

About GPS Satellite
Signals
Your nüvi must acquire GPS (Global
Positioning System) satellite signals to
navigate. If you are indoors, near tall
buildings or trees, or in a parking garage,
your nüvi cannot acquire satellites.
Go outside to an area free from tall
obstructions to use your nüvi.
When your nüvi has acquired satellite
signals, the signal strength bars on the
Menu page are green . When it
loses satellite signals, the bars turn red or
clear .
For more information about GPS, go to
www.garmin.com/aboutGPS.
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
and high-vibration environments.
Cleaning the Unit
The 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.
54 nüvi 800 Series Owner’s Manual
aPPendix
DRAFT
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, because it
can cause permanent damage.
Do not expose the nüvi to water.
Contact with water can cause this unit
to malfunction.
Though a PDA stylus can 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.

Avoiding Theft
To avoid theft, remove the unit
and mount from sight when not
in use. Remove the residue on the
windshield left by the suction cup.
Do not keep your unit in the glove
compartment.
Register your product at
http://my.garmin.com.
Use the Garmin Lock feature. See

Important Legal Notice
Regarding Your FM
Transmitter
Your nüvi product contains an FM
transmitter. Read the following notices.
Using Your nüvi FM
Transmitter in Europe
Use of FM transmitters is currently
illegal in certain European countries due
to specic radio frequency restrictions.

in all European countries in which
you intend to use the FM transmitter
to ensure its legality. You accept full
responsibility for complying with all
such laws and regulations applicable
in your particular country of operation.
Garmin disclaims all responsibility for
your failure to follow local laws and
regulations. See www.garmin.com/fm-

operating system’s Help le to learn how to map/assign drive letters.
I cannot get trafc
information.
Verify that you are in a coverage area. You must be in a coverage area
to get the trafc information for that area.
