FCC Compliance

The GPSMAP 296 complies 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 on a circuit different from that to

which the receiver is connected.

•

Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

The GPSMAP 296 does not contain any user-serviceable parts. Repairs should

only be made by an authorized Garmin service center. Unauthorized repairs

or modiﬁcations could result in permanent damage to the equipment and

void your warranty and your authority to operate this device under Part 15

regulations.
