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 outer casing of the unit (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.
Although 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 because damage might 

result. 

Avoiding Theft

To avoid theft, remove the unit 

and mount from sight when not in 

use. Remove the residue left on the 

windshield by the suction cup. 
Do not keep your unit in the glove 

compartment.

security location.
