aPPendix
Cleaning the nüvi
The nüvi is constructed of high-quality
materials and does not require user
maintenance other than cleaning. Clean
the outer casing of the nüvi (not the
touch screen) using a cloth dampened
with a mild detergent solution, and then
wipe it dry. Avoid chemical cleaners
and solvents that can damage plastic
components.
Cleaning the Touch Screen
Clean the touch screen with a soft, clean,
lint-free cloth. Use water, isopropyl
alcohol, or eyeglass cleaner, if needed.
Apply the liquid to the cloth, and then
gently wipe the touch screen.
Protecting Your nüvi
Carry and store your nüvi in the
optional carrying case.
Do not store the nüvi where
prolonged exposure to extreme
temperatures can occur because it
can cause permanent damage.

Do not expose the nüvi to water.
Contact with water can cause this
unit to malfunction.
Never use a hard or sharp object
to operate the touch screen, or
damage may result. Though a
PDA stylus can be used to operate
the touch screen, never attempt
this while operating a vehicle.
Avoiding Theft
To avoid theft, remove the unit
and the mount from sight when
not in use. Remove the residue on
the windshield left by the suction
cup.
Do not keep your unit in the glove
compartment.
