For the Owner
Due to the location of the vehicle’s radio antenna,
Garmin highly recommends that the GTM 10 be
installed by a professional installer
.
Installing the GTM 10 without the aid of a professional installer
may damage the GTM 10 and void your warranty.

3. How do you want the installer to mount the GTM 10 after it is connected?

Let it hang freely
Note: You can purchase a subscription at any time. You do not need to purchase a subscription before
having the GTM 10 installed in your vehicle.
• Verify Signal Strength:
If you are inside a building where radio signals cannot be received, you may need
to take the vehicle outside for testing.
• Verify that you are in a service area:
Check for service from the pay service or free services, if available.
• Check the Map:
Turn on the GPS device and access a map. Check for traffic alerts and symbols on the
map. It may be easiest to browse the map of a roadway or intersection under construction or that is known
to have frequent traffic hazards. If possible, refer to the
Owner’s Manual
.
If the above tests fail, either you are not in a service area, the purchased subscription is not activated (see
below), or the installation might be faulty.
Activating a Subscription
If the owner has marked
Yes
for 2b, you need to enter the 25-character code into the GPS device to activate
the purchased subscription. As each GPS device operates differently, consult the
Owner’s Manual
for
complete information about entering the code. After you enter the code to activate the subscription, you can
use the steps listed above to test the installation.
Step 6: Mount the GTM 10
If possible, place the GTM 10 where the LED can be seen without dismantling the dashboard.
1. Mount the GTM 10 according to the owner’s response to question 3:
• Attach with foam tape: clean and dry a flat surface behind the dashboard. Remove the backing from
the foam tape and attach the GTM 10 to the flat surface.
• Hang freely: bind up any slack cable from the mini-USB cable with a wire tie and let the GTM 10 hang
freely behind the radio.
2. Check that all cables and the GTM 10 are secure and free of obstruction.
3. Replace all parts of the dashboard to their original locations.
4. Repeat the testing as described in Step 5.
