Installing the Screw-Down Mount on the Dashboard
Before you can attach the screw-down ball mount to your
dashboard, you must select a suitable location on the
dashboard.
It is your responsibility to ensure the mounting location complies
with all applicable laws and ordinances, and does not block your
view of the road during the safe operation of your vehicle.
Avoid wires, gauges, air bags, air bag covers, HVAC, and other
items when drilling pilot holes and attaching the mount to the
vehicle. Garmin is not responsible for any damages or
®
consequences arising from the installation.

Acquiring GPS Signals
When you turn on your navigation device, the GPS receiver
must collect satellite data and establish the current location. The
time required to acquire satellite signals varies based on several
factors, including how far you are from the location where you
last used your navigation device, whether you have a clear view
of the sky, and how long it has been since you last used your
navigation device. The first time you turn on your navigation
device, it may take several minutes to acquire satellite signals.
