FCC Warnings
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals–Your device is a radio transmitter and receiver. When it is
on, it receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals.
Antenna Care–Use only the supplied antenna or a recommended antenna accessory.
Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the radio and may violate FCC
regulations. Warning: Do not use any radio that has a damaged antenna, because if it comes into
contact with your skin, a minor burn can result.
Electronic Devices–Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. However,
certain equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from your wireless radio.
Pacemakers–The Health Industry Manufacturers Association (HIMA) and Wireless Technology
Research recommend that a minimum separation of six inches (6”) be maintained between a
handheld wireless radio and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker.
Persons with pacemakers should ALWAYS keep the radio more than six inches from their
pacemaker when the radio is turned on, should not carry the radio in a breast pocket, and should
turn the radio off immediately if you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place.
Hearing Aids–Some digital wireless radios may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of
such interference, you may want to consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Posted Facilities–Turn your radio OFF in any facility where posted notices so require.
Vehicles–RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in
motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its representative regarding your vehicle. You
should also consult the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.
Commercial Aircraft–Many commercial airlines prohibit the use of radios on board. Switch OFF
your radio before boarding an aircraft or check the airline rules.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres–Turn your radio OFF and do not remove your battery when
you are in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. Obey all signs and instructions. Sparks
from your battery in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even
death.
NOTICE
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 specific locations on the windshield. Many other states have enacted restrictions against
placing objects on the windshield in locations that obstruct the driver’s vision. IT IS THE USER'S
RESPONSIBILITY TO MOUNT THE DEVICE IN COMPLIANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE LAWS
AND ORDINANCES.Where required, other Garmin dashboard or friction mount options should be
used. Always mount your Garmin device in a location that does not obstruct the driver’s view of the
