Appendix

To remove the nüvi from the cradle, 

press the button on the bottom of the 

cradle, and tilt the nüvi forward.
To remove the cradle from the mount, 

turn the cradle to the right or left. Apply 

pressure in that direction until the cradle 

snaps off the mount.
To remove the suction cup mount from 

the windshield, flip the lever toward you. 

Pull the tab on the suction cup toward 

you.

Your nüvi must acquire GPS (Global 

Positioning System) satellite signals to 

navigate. If you are indoors, near tall 

buildings or trees, or in a parking garage, 

your nüvi cannot acquire satellites. 

Go outside to an area free from tall 

obstructions to use your nüvi.

When your nüvi has acquired satellite 

signals, the signal strength bars on the 

Menu page are green 

. When it 

loses satellite signals, the bars turn red or 

are empty 

.

Your nüvi contains sensitive electronic 

components that can be permanently 

damaged if exposed to excessive shock 

or vibration. To minimize the risk of 

damage to your nüvi, avoid dropping 

your unit and operating it in high-shock 

and high-vibration environments.

The nüvi is constructed of high-quality 

materials and does not require user 

maintenance other than cleaning. Clean 

the outer casing of the nüvi (not the 

touch screen) using a cloth dampened 

with a mild detergent solution, and then
