Your GPS unit may use an internal, non-user-
replaceable battery for various purposes, such as the

Do not remove or attempt to remove the non-user-
replaceable battery.
When disposing of the unit, take it to a
professional service, such as a waste electronics
treatment facility, to have the battery removed and
recycled.
Important Information
MAP DATA INFORMATION:
One of the goals
of Garmin is to provide customers with the most
complete and accurate cartography that is available
to us at a reasonable cost. We use a combination of
governmental and private data sources, which we
identify in product literature and copyright messages
displayed to the consumer. Virtually all data sources
contain some inaccurate or incomplete data. In some
countries, complete and accurate map information is
either not available or is prohibitively expensive.
The
California Electronic Waste Recycling Act of
2003
requires the recycling of certain electronics. For
more information on the applicability to this product,

Caring for the Unit

Cleaning the Case
Clean the unit’s outer casing (except for the screen)
using a cloth dampened with a mild detergent
solution and then wipe dry. Avoid chemical cleaners
and solvents that may damage plastic components.
Cleaning the Screen
The unit’s lens is coated with a special anti-reflective
coating that is sensitive to skin oils, waxes and
abrasive cleaners. Cleaners containing ammonia,
alcohol, abrasives, or anti-grease detergents will harm
the anti-reflective coating. It is important to clean the
lens using an eyeglass lens cleaner (that is specified
as safe for anti-reflective coatings) and a clean,
lint-free cloth.
Water Immersion
The unit is waterproof to IEC Standard 60529 IPX7.
It can withstand immersion in 1 meter of water for 30
minutes. Prolonged submersion can cause damage to
the unit. After submersion, be certain to wipe and air
dry the unit before reuse.
Limited Warranty
This Garmin product is warranted to be free from
defects in materials or workmanship for one year
from the date of purchase. Within this period,
Garmin will, at its sole option, repair or replace
any components that fail in normal use. Such
repairs or replacement will be made at no charge
to the customer for parts or labor, provided that the
