Acquiring Satellites

1. Go outdoors to an open area, away from tall buildings 

and trees.

2. Flip up the GPS antenna on 

the back of the nüvi, so that it is 

parallel to the ground.

3. Turn on the nüvi. Acquiring 

satellite signals can take a few 

minutes. 

The 

 bars indicate satellite 

strength. When the bars are green, 

the nüvi has acquired satellite signals; now you can select a 

destination and navigate to it.

Mounting on the Windshield

Check your state and local traffic 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 the 

Important Safety and Product Information

 guide for more details.

1. Plug the power cable into the bottom of the mount. Plug 

the other end into a 12/24-Volt receptacle in your vehicle.

2. Clean and dry your windshield and the suction cup with a 

lint-free cloth. Place the suction cup on the windshield. 

3. Flip the lever back, toward the windshield. 

4. Flip up the GPS antenna. Fit the bottom of your nüvi into 

the cradle.

5. Tilt the nüvi back until it snaps into place.

6. If your power cable has an antenna with suction cups 

attached, use the suction cups to route the antenna 

vertically on the windshield.

To remove the nüvi from the cradle, press the small tab on the 

bottom of the cradle up, and tilt the top of the nüvi forward.

Do not leave your GPS unit exposed in an unattended vehicle on a hot 

day. To prevent damage, remove it from the vehicle; or store it out of 

direct sunlight, such as in the glove box. See the specifications in the 

owner’s manual. For more information, see www.garmin.com/safety.
