ESTING

  Yellow dot-dash flashes: waiting for 

initial country code, which is automatically supplied by 

the Garmin GPS device. 

  Yellow fast flashes: searching table 

for active entry.

  Red/Green flashes: scanning for new 

TMC FM stations.

  Red solid light: momentary sync loss.
  Green solid light: normal traffic data.

Verify Signal Strength: If you are inside a garage 

where radio signals cannot be received, you may need 

to take the vehicle outside. 
Verify that you are in a service area: Check for 

service from the pay service or free services, if 

available. 
Check the Map: Check the map on the GPS device for 

traffic alerts. Refer to the Owner’s Manual.
If these tests fail, either you are not in a service area, 

the purchased subscription needs to be activated, or the 

installation might be faulty. 

If possible, place the GTM 10 where the LED can be 

seen without dismantling the dashboard. 

1.  Mount the GTM 10 in one of the following ways:

•  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 not obstructed.

3.  Replace all parts of the dashboard to their original 

locations. 

4.  Repeat the testing as described in Step 5.
