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.
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.

Failure to heed the following notices could result in
personal or property damage, or negatively impact the
