Trafc on Your Route
When calculating your route, the

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 trafc 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.

Battery Information
Your nüvi contains an internal, non-
replaceable, lithium-ion battery. Do not
remove or attempt to remove the battery.
Doing so could result in risk of battery
re or damage and injury.
The battery icon in the corner of
the Menu page indicates the status of the
internal battery. To increase the accuracy
of the battery gauge, fully discharge the
battery and then fully charge it; do not
unplug the nüvi until it is totally charged.
Contact your local waste disposal
department for information on properly
disposing of the unit.
Maximizing the Battery Life
Turn down the backlight (Tools >
Settings > Display > Brightness).
Do not leave your nüvi in direct
sunlight. Avoid prolonged exposure
to excessive heat.
Changing the Fuse
CAUTION: When replacing the fuse,
do not lose any of the small pieces
and make sure they are put back in the
proper place.
If your unit will not charge in your
vehicle, you may need to replace the fuse
located at the tip of the vehicle adapter.
1. Unscrew the black, round end piece,
and remove it.
2. Remove the fuse (glass and silver
cylinder), and replace with a 3A fast
blow fuse.
3. Ensure that the silver
tip is placed in the
black end piece.

Mounting on Your
Dashboard
Use the enclosed mounting disk to
mount your unit to the dashboard and
comply with certain state regulations.
CAUTION: The permanent
mounting adhesive is extremely
difcult to remove after it is installed.
1. Clean and dry the dashboard where
you are placing the disk.
2. Remove the backing from the
adhesive on the bottom of the disk.
3. Place the disk on the dashboard.
4. Remove the clear plastic cover from
the top of the disk.
5. Place the suction cup mount on top of
the disk. Flip the lever down (toward

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.

Appendix
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.
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.

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 specic radio frequency restrictions.

Troubleshooting
Problem/Question Solution/Answer
My nüvi never gets
satellite signals.
Take your nüvi out of parking garages and away from tall buildings
and trees. Remain stationary for several minutes.
The suction cup will not
stay on my windshield.
Clean the suction cup and windshield with rubbing alcohol. Dry with
a clean, dry cloth. Mount the suction cup as described on page 3.
My nüvi does not
charge in my vehicle.
Your nüvi can only charge between 32°F and 113°F (0°C and 45°C).
If the nüvi is placed in direct sunlight or in a hot environment, it
cannot charge.
How do I clear all my
user data?
Hold your nger on the lower-right corner of the nüvi’s screen
while it is turning on. Keep your nger pressed until the message
appears. Touch Yes to clear all user data.
The nüvi is locked
up/frozen.
If the nüvi screen stops functioning, turn the nüvi off and on again.
If this does not help, slide the Power key to the left and hold for 8
seconds. Turn the nüvi back on. The nüvi should operate normally.
The touch screen is not
responding to my taps
properly.
Turn the nüvi off and then back on. Slide the Power key to the right
(lock). Hold your nger on the screen for about 30 seconds until the
calibration screen appears. Follow the on-screen instructions.
My battery gauge does
not seem accurate.
Allow the unit to fully discharge, and then fully charge it (without
interrupting the charge cycle).
My phone will not
connect to the nüvi.
Make sure you have a nüvi 715, 765, or 775.
Touch Tools > Settings > Bluetooth. Verify that the Bluetooth eld

Problem/Question Solution/Answer
How do I know my nüvi
is in USB mass storage
mode?
When your nüvi is in USB mass storage mode, a picture of a nüvi
connected to a computer is shown. Also, you should see two new
removable disk drives listed in My Computer.
My computer never
senses that the nüvi is
connected.
1. Unplug the USB cable from your computer.
2. Turn the nüvi off.
3. Plug the USB cable into your computer and your nüvi. The nüvi
automatically turns on and goes into USB mass storage mode.
I cannot see any new
removable drives in my
list of drives.
If you have several network drives mapped on your computer,
Windows may have trouble assigning drive letters to your nüvi
drives. See your operating system’s Help le to learn how to map/
assign drive letters.
I cannot get trafc
information.
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. (The trafc receiver is included in some nüvi 715,
755T, 765, and 775 packages.)
How can I nd
restaurants near the
hotel I will be staying in
the future?
1. Touch Where to > Near > Different City (and enter your
vacation destination).
2. Find the hotel and touch Go.
3. Touch Menu > Where to > Near > My Destination.
4. Search for a restaurant. Restaurants nearest your hotel are
listed rst.
You can also use the GPS Simulator (Tools > Settings > System).
How can I nd my car
in a parking lot?
Touch Tools > Settings > Navigation > Route Preference > Off
Road > OK to put the nüvi in Off Road mode. Touch Where to >
