Check your state and local trafc laws before mounting. Currently, state laws in California and Minnesota

prohibit drivers from using suction mounts on their windshields while operating motor vehicles. Other

Garmin dashboard or friction mounting options should be used. See page 12 for more details.

Step 1: Mount the nüvi

Select a suitable location to mount the nüvi on your windshield. Clean and dry the

suction cup and the selected area of your windshield.

1. Plug the power cable into the back of the nüvi.

2. Fit the ball on the end of the mount into the

round socket on the cradle and press rmly

until it snaps together.

3. Place the suction cup on the windshield, and

ip the lever back toward the windshield.

4. Press the bottom of the nüvi into the cradle,

and snap the top of the nüvi into place.

5. Plug the power cable into a power outlet

in your vehicle. Your unit should turn on

automatically if it is plugged in and your

vehicle key is turned to ON/ACC.

Ways to Charge the nüvi

Connect the vehicle power cable to the nüvi

and to a power outlet in your vehicle.

Connect an AC adapter (optional accessory)
