Important Safety and Product Information  Warning Failure to avoid the following potentially hazardous situations could result in an accident or collision resulting in death or serious injury. Operation Warnings • You are responsible for the safe and prudent operation of your vessel. This device is a tool that will enhance your capability to operate your vessel. It does not relieve you from the responsibility of safely operating your vessel. Avoid navigational hazards and never leave the helm unattended. • Use this device only as a navigational aid. Do not attempt to use the device for any purpose requiring precise measurement of direction, distance, location, or topography. • Always be prepared to promptly regain control of the vessel. Use caution near hazards in the water, such as docks, pilings and other vessels. • If the device has navigating capabilities, when navigating, carefully compare information displayed on the device to all available navigation sources, including information from visual sightings, local waterway rules and restrictions, and maps. For safety, always resolve any discrepancies or questions before continuing navigation. • If the device uses maps, use the electronic chart in the device only to facilitate, not to replace, the use of authorized government charts. Official government charts and notices to mariners contain all information needed to navigate safely. • If the device provides depth data, it should not be used as the primary means of preventing grounding or collision. Supplement depth data readings with information from applicable paper charts and visual indicators. Always operate the vessel at slow speeds if you suspect shallow water or submerged objects. Failure to heed this warning could lead to vessel damage or personal injury. • If the device has video input capabilities, do not attempt to operate or watch video input while operating or navigating your vessel. Operating or watching the video input while the vessel is moving could cause an accident or collision resulting in property damage, serious injury, or death. Map Data Information One of the goals of Garmin is to provide customers with the most complete and accurate cartography that is available to us at a reasonable cost. We use a combination of governmental and private data sources, which we identify in product literature and copyright messages displayed to the consumer. 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.

Category II radiocommunication devices comply with Industry Canada Standard RSS-310. This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device. 2 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 voice and data communications. The device emits RF energy below the published limits when operating in its maximum output power mode and when used with Garmin authorized accessories. To comply with FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, the device should be used in a compatible mount or as mounted per the installation instructions only. The device should not be used in other configurations. The device must be mounted a minimum or 20 cm away from the body of the user. This device must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other transmitter or antenna. FCC Compliance This product has been tested and found to comply with Part 15 of the FCC interference limits for Class B digital devices FOR HOME OR OFFICE USE. These limits are designed to provide more reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation, and are more stringent than "outdoor" requirements. Operation of this device is subject to the following 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 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 equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures: • Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. • Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver. • Connect the equipment into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the GPS device. • Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. This product does not contain any user-serviceable parts. Repairs should only be made by an authorized Garmin service center.
