Garmin 5000 Mode D'Emploi

Using FM Traffic

Use an FM TMC (Traffic Message 

Channel) traffic receiver to receive 

traffic information broadcast over the 

FM Radio Data System. For information 

about FM traffic receivers and coverage 

  notE: Garmin is not responsible for 

the accuracy of the traffic information. 

The FM traffic receiver receives 

signals from the traffic service 

provider and shows that information 

on your nüvi.

  notE: The FM traffic receiver and 

nüvi must be in data range of an FM 

station transmitting TMC data to 

receive traffic information.

  notE: The nüvi must be connected 

to the optional FM traffic receiver to 

access traffic information.

  notE: If your FM TMC traffic 

receiver has an antenna with suction 

cups on it, route the antenna on your 

windshield vertically using the suction 

cups.

The green Power LED lights when 

connected to external power. The Status 

LED indicates the signal reception:

Yellow dot-dash flashes: determining 

which country you are currently in.
Yellow solid: searching for signal.
Red solid: momentary sync loss.
Green solid: normal traffic data.
