PRODUCT
INFORMATION
WARNING
Failure to heed the following warnings could result in
death, serious injury, or property damage.
Usage Requirements
• Messaging, tracking, and SOS functions require an active
satellite subscription. Always test your device before you
use it outdoors.
• Ensure that you have a clear view of the sky when
using the messaging, tracking, and SOS functions of
the device, as these features require satellite access to
operate properly.
Vehicle Warning
Always ensure your vehicle is suitable for use in an
off-road racing environment and is properly maintained
before using the device.
Distraction Warning
This device is intended to enhance the situational
awareness when used properly. If used improperly, you
could become distracted by the display, which could
lead to an accident causing serious personal injury or
death. Only access the information displayed on the
device with a glance. Always maintain awareness of your
surroundings and do not stare at the display or become
distracted by the display. Focusing on the display could
prevent you from avoiding obstacles or hazards.
Vehicle Installation Warnings
• When installing the device in a vehicle, do not place the
device where it obstructs the driver’s view of the road
or interferes with vehicle operating controls, such as the
steering wheel, foot pedals, or transmission levers. Do
not place the device unsecured on the vehicle dashboard
. Do not place the device in front of or above any
airbag
.
• If your device is compatible with a windshield mount,
the windshield mount may not stay attached to the
windshield in all circumstances. Do not place the mount
where it will become a distraction if it should become
detached. Keep your windshield clean to help ensure that
the mount stays on the windshield.
Device Warnings
• To avoid possible device damage, do not leave the
device exposed to a heat source or in a high-temperature
location, such as in the sun in an unattended vehicle.
• Do not operate or store the device for an extended time
period outside of the applicable temperature range listed
in the printed manual in the product packaging.
• Do not use a power cable, data cable, and/or power
adapter that is not supplied by Garmin
®
or is not properly
certified.
Street Navigation Warnings
If your Garmin device accepts street maps and suggests
routes that follow roads, follow these guidelines to ensure
safe on-road navigation.
• Always use your best judgment, and operate the vehicle
in a safe manner. Do not become distracted by the
device while driving, and always be fully aware of all
driving conditions. Minimize the amount of time spent
viewing the device screen while driving.
• Do not input destinations, change settings, or access any
functions requiring prolonged use of the device controls
while driving. Pull over in a safe and legal manner before
attempting such operations.
• When navigating, carefully compare information
displayed on the device to all available navigation
sources, including road signs, road closures, road
conditions, traffic congestion, weather conditions, and
other factors that may affect safety while driving.
For safety, always resolve any discrepancies before
continuing navigation, and defer to posted signs and
conditions.
• The device is designed to provide route suggestions.
It is not a replacement for driver attentiveness and
good judgement. Do not follow route suggestions if they
suggest an illegal maneuver or would place the vehicle in
an unsafe situation.
Vehicle Profile Warning
Entering your vehicle profile characteristics does not
guarantee that your vehicle's characteristics will be
accounted for in all route suggestions. Limitations may
exist in map data for some route suggestions. Always
defer to all posted road signs and conditions during
vehicle operation. Failure to do so could lead to an
accident involving personal injury or death.
