Introduction WARNING: If you choose to use the eTrex in a vehicle, it is the sole responsibility of the owner/operator of the eTrex to secure the GPS unit so that it will not cause damage or personal injury in the event of an accident. Do not mount the eTrex over airbag panels or in a place where the driver or passengers are likely to have an impact with it in an accident or collision. WARNING: If you choose to use the eTrex in a vehicle, it is the sole responsibility of the operator of the vehicle to operate the vehicle in a safe manner, maintain full surveillance of all driving conditions at all times, and never become distracted by the eTrex to the exclusion of safe operating practices. It is unsafe to operate the eTrex while you are driving. Failure by the operator of a vehicle equipped with an eTrex to pay full attention to operating the vehicle and road conditions while the vehicle is in motion could result in an accident or collision with property damage and personal injury. CAUTION: IT IS THE USER'S RESPONSIBILITY TO USE THIS PRODUCT PRUDENTLY. THIS PRODUCT IS INTENDED TO BE USED ONLY AS A TRAVEL AID AND MUST NOT BE USED FOR ANY PURPOSE REQUIRING PRECISE MEASUREMENT OF DIRECTION, DISTANCE, LOCATION, OR TOPOGRAPHY. CAUTION: The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the government of the United States, which is solely responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. The system is subject to changes which could affect the accuracy and performance of all GPS equipment. Although the eTrex is a precision electronic NAVigation AID (NAVAID), any NAVAID can be misused or misinterpreted and, therefore, become unsafe. CAUTION: Electronics are protected if immersed, but the battery compartment may get wet. Make sure the batteries and compartment are dry before using. Warnings and Cautions Remove the batteries from your eTrex if you don't expect to use it for several months. Be sure to observe the proper polarity when re-installing batteries. Follow the battery manufacturer's instructions on the proper care and handling of the batteries. 3
