Street Navigation Warnings
Some Garmin recreational products are able
to accept street maps and suggest 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.
Battery Warnings
Your GPS device uses user-replaceable
batteries. If these guidelines are not followed,
the batteries may experience a shortened life
span or may present a risk of damage to the
device, fire, chemical burn, electrolyte leak,
and/or injury.
• Do not leave the device exposed to a heat
source or in a high-temperature location,
such as in the sun in an unattended vehicle.
To prevent damage, remove the device from
the vehicle or store it out of direct sunlight,
such as in the glove box.
• Do not use a sharp object to remove the
batteries.
• Do not puncture or incinerate the device or
battery.
• Keep the batteries away from children.
