Important Safety and Product Information
WARNING
Failure to avoid the following potentially hazardous situations could result in an accident or collision
resulting in death or serious injury.
Off-Road Navigation Warnings
If your Garmin® device is able to suggest off-road routes for various outdoor activities, such as biking,
hiking, and all-terrain vehicles, follow these guidelines to ensure safe off-road navigation.
• Always use your best judgment and exercise common sense when making off-road navigational
decisions. The Garmin device is designed to provide route suggestions only. It is not a replacement
for attentiveness and proper preparation for outdoor activities. Do not follow the route suggestions if
they suggest an illegal course or would put you in an unsafe situation.
• Always carefully compare information displayed on the device to all available navigation sources,
including trail signs, trail conditions, weather conditions, and other factors that may affect safety while
navigating. For safety, always resolve any discrepancies before continuing navigation, and defer to
posted signs and conditions.
• Always be mindful of the effects of the environment and the inherent risks of the activity before
embarking on off-road activities, especially the impact that weather and weather-related trail
conditions can have on the safety of your activity. Ensure that you have the proper gear and supplies
for your activity before navigating along unfamiliar paths and trails.
Vehicle Installation Warnings
• When installing the device in a vehicle, place the device securely so it does not obstruct the driver’s
view of the road À or interfere with vehicle operating controls, such as the steering wheel, foot
pedals, or transmission levers. Do not place unsecured on the vehicle dashboard Á. Do not place
the device in front of or above any airbag Â.
• The windshield mount may not stay attached to the windshield in all circumstances. Do not place the
mount where it will become a distraction if it should become detached. Keep your windshield clean to
help ensure that the mount stays on the windshield.
Street Navigation Warnings
If your Garmin device accepts street maps and suggests routes that follow roads, follow these
guidelines to ensure safe on-road navigation.
• Always use your best judgment, and operate the vehicle in a safe manner. Do not become distracted
by the device while driving, and always be fully aware of all driving conditions. Minimize the amount
of time spent viewing the device screen while driving.
• Do not input destinations, change settings, or access any functions requiring prolonged use of the
device controls while driving. Pull over in a safe and legal manner before attempting such operations.
• When navigating, carefully compare information displayed on the device to all available navigation
sources, including road signs, road closures, road conditions, traffic congestion, weather conditions,
and other factors that may affect safety while driving. For safety, always resolve any discrepancies
before continuing navigation, and defer to posted signs and conditions.
• The device is designed to provide route suggestions. It is not a replacement for driver attentiveness
and good judgement. Do not follow route suggestions if they suggest an illegal maneuver or would
place the vehicle in an unsafe situation.
Battery Warnings
Replaceable alkaline or NiMH batteries can be used with this device.
If these guidelines are not followed, batteries may experience a shortened life span or may present a
risk of damage to the device, fire, chemical burn, electrolyte leak, and/or injury.
• Do not leave the device exposed to a heat source or in a high-temperature location, such as in the
sun in an unattended vehicle. To prevent the possibility of damage, remove the device from the
vehicle or store it out of direct sunlight, such as in the glove box.
• Do not disassemble, modify, remanufacture, puncture or damage the device or batteries.
• Do not immerse or expose the device or batteries to water or other liquids, fire, explosion, or other
hazard.
• Do not use a sharp object to remove the removable batteries.

the printed manual in the product packaging.

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 road. Garmin does not
assume any responsibility for any fines, penalties, or damages that may be incurred as a result of any
state or local law or ordinance relating to the use of your Garmin device.
