Positioning the device closer to the windshield reduces the effect of jarring and vibration from the road. My device is not acquiring satellite signals • Take your device out of parking garages and away from tall buildings and trees. • Remain stationary for several minutes. The device does not charge in my vehicle • Verify the vehicle is turned on and is supplying power to the power outlet. • Verify the interior temperature of the vehicle is within the charging temperature range indicated in the specifications. • In the vehicle fuse box, verify the fuse for the vehicle power outlet is not broken. My battery does not stay charged for very long • Decrease the screen brightness (Display Settings, page 7). • Shorten the display timeout (Display Settings, page 7). • Decrease the volume (Adjusting Sound and Notification Volume, page 7). • Turn off the wi-fi radio when it is not in use (Connecting to a Wireless Network, page 7). • Put the device in power saving mode when not in use. • Keep your device away from extreme temperatures. • Do not leave your device in direct sunlight. My camera feels warm while it is operating Garmin cameras are designed for the automotive environment.
