Caring for Your nüvi
Your nüvi contains sensitive electronic components that can be permanently damaged if exposed to
excessive shock or vibration. To minimize the risk of damage to your nüvi, avoid dropping your unit and
operating it in high shock/vibration environments.
Cleaning the Unit
The nüvi is constructed of high quality materials and does not require user maintenance other than
cleaning. Clean the unit’s outer casing (not the touch screen) using a cloth dampened with a mild detergent
solution and then wipe 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
Follow the cautions below to protect your nüvi from damage:
• Do not store the nüvi where prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures can occur (such as in the trunk
of a car), as permanent damage may result.
• Do not expose the nüvi to water. Contact with water can cause this unit to malfunction.
• Do not leave your nüvi in plain sight when you leave your vehicle. Take your unit with you or remove it
from view to avoid theft.
• Though a PDA stylus can also be used to operate the touch screen, never attempt this while operating a
vehicle. Never use a hard or sharp object to operate the touch screen or damage may result.
