FCC Warnings
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals– Your device is a radio transmitter
and receiver. When it is on, it receives and also sends out radio frequency
(RF) signals.
Antenna Care –Use only the supplied antenna or a recommended antenna
accessory. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage
the radio and may violate FCC regulations. Warning : Do not use any radio
that has a damaged antenna, because if it comes into contact with your skin, a
minor burn can result. Electronic Devices–Most modern electronic equipment is
shielded from RF signals. However, certain equipment may not be shielded
against the RF signals from your wireless radio.
Pacemakers –The Health Industry Manufacturers Association (HIMA) and
Wireless Technology Research recommend that a minimum separation of six inches
(6”) be maintained between a handheld wireless radio and a pacemaker to avoid
potential interference with the pacemaker. Persons with pacemakers should
ALWAYS keep the radio more than six inches from their pacemaker when the radio
is turned on, should not carry the radio in a breast pocket, and should turn
the radio off immediately if you have any reason to suspect that interference
is taking place.
Hearing Aids –Some digital wireless radios may interfere with some
hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult your
hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Posted Facilities –Turn your radio OFF in any facility where posted
notices so require.
Vehicles–RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded
electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its
representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the
manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.
Commercial Aircraft –Many commercial airlines prohibit the use of radios
on board. Switch OFF your radio before boarding an aircraft or check the
airline rules.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres –Turn your radio OFF and do not remove
your battery when you are in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere.
Obey all signs
and instructions. Sparks from your battery in such areas could cause an
explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
NOTICE
Failure to heed the following notices could result in personal or property
damage, or negatively impact the device functionality.
Battery Notices
- Contact your local waste disposal department to dispose of the device/batteries in accordance with applicable local laws and regulations.
Windshield Mounting Legal Restrictions

and ordinances where you drive. Some state laws prohibit or restrict the
placement of objects on the windshield of a motor vehicle. IT IS THE USER’S
RESPONSIBILITY TO MOUNT THE DEVICE IN COMPLIANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE LAWS AND
ORDINANCES. Always mount your Garmin device in a location that does not
obstruct the driver’s view of the road. Garmin does not assume any

interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class
B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate
radio frequency energy and may cause harmful interference to radio
communications if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to
radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Unauthorized repairs or modifications could result in permanent damage to the equipment, and void your warranty and your authority to operate this device under Part 15 regulations.
VHF Radio Information
This product may be used only on specific radio frequencies, which vary
depending on the country of use. The handheld device and the dog device allow
the user to install a different antenna. Changing the antenna can result in
improved radio performance and higher radiated power. You must not use the
device with a third-party antenna or an antenna not approved by Garmin. Go to
www.garmin.com/tracking-legal for details about the performance and
radiofrequency of this product, lawful accessories, and power limits for
