Locking Your nüvi
Garmin Lock is a theft-deterrent system
that locks your nüvi. Each time you turn
on the nüvi, enter the PIN or drive to the
security location.

2. Touch the button below
Garmin
Lock
.
3. Enter a 4‑digit PIN, and drive to a
security location.
What is a Security Location?
Your security location should be a
location you return to often, such as your
home. If the nüvi has satellite signals
and you are at the security location, you
do not need to enter the PIN.
nOTE:
If you forget your PIN and
your security location, you must send
your nüvi to Garmin to get it unlocked.
You must also send a valid product
registration or proof of purchase.
