Notice Windshield Mounting Legal Restrictions Before using the suction cup mount on your windshield, check the state and local laws and ordinances where you drive. Some state laws prohibit drivers from using suction mounts on their windshields while operating motor vehicles. Other state laws allow the suction mount to be located only in specific locations on the windshield. Many other states have enacted restrictions against placing objects on the windshield in locations that obstruct the driver's vision. It is the user's responsibility to mount the Garmin device in compliance with all applicable laws and ordinances. Where required, other Garmin dashboard or friction mount options should be used. Always mount your Garmin device in a location that does not obstruct the driver's view of the road. Garmin does not assume any responsibility for any fines, penalties, or damages that may be incurred as a result of any state or local law or ordinance relating to the use of your Garmin device. Map Data Information Garmin uses a combination of governmental and private data sources. 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. Avoid Repetitive Motion You may experience occasional discomfort in your hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of your body if you perform repetitive activities, such as typing, on the mobile device. Take frequent breaks. If you have discomfort while or after using the device, stop using it and see a physician. Pacemakers and Other Medical Devices Studies have shown that there may be a potential interaction between mobile devices and normal pacemaker operation. The pacemaker industry recommends that people with pacemakers follow these guidelines to minimize any risk of interference with pacemaker operation: • Always maintain a distance of 6 inches (15 cm) between the pacemaker and any mobile device that is turned on. • Store the device on the opposite side of the pacemaker. Do not carry the device in a breast pocket. • If you think that interference may be occurring, turn off the device immediately. For other medical devices, consult with your physician or the manufacturer to determine if your mobile device may interfere with the medical device, and to determine any precautions that you can take to avoid interference. Radio Frequency Exposure This device is a mobile transmitter and receiver that uses its antenna to send and receive low levels of radio frequency (RF) energy for data communications. The device emits RF energy below the published limits when operating in its maximum output power mode when used with Garmin authorized accessories. To comply with FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, the device should be used in its automobile mount or as a handheld device only. The device should not be used in other configurations.

Declaration of Conformity Hereby, Garmin, declares that this product is in compliance with the essential requirements and other relevant provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC. To view the full Declaration of Conformity, go to www.garmin.com/compliance. FCC Compliance This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and may cause harmful interference to radio communications if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the 3
