• To extend the battery life, close the antenna when you do not
need to receive GPS signals.
• To maximize the life of the lithium-ion battery, do not leave your
nüvi direct sunlight and avoid prolonged exposure to excessive
heat.
• Do not leave your nüvi exposed in an unattended vehicle on a
hot day. To prevent damage, remove it from the vehicle; or store
it out of direct sunlight, such as in the glove box.

the accuracy of the battery gauge,
fully discharge the battery and
