Appendix
Battery Information
To maximize the lifetime of the
battery, do not leave your nüvi in
direct sunlight, and avoid prolonged
exposure to excessive heat.
The battery icon in the corner
of the Menu page indicates the status
of the nüvi battery. To increase the
accuracy of the battery gauge, fully
discharge the battery and then fully
charge it. Do not unplug the nüvi
until it is totally charged.
Charging Your nüvi
• Connect the vehicle power cable
to the mini-USB connector on
your nüvi and to a power outlet
in your vehicle. The vehicle key
may need to be turned to ON/
ACC for the nüvi to charge.
• Connect an AC adapter (optional
accessory) to the nüvi and a wall
outlet.
• Connect your nüvi to a computer
using a USB cable. The USB
cable is included with some nüvi
205 and 205W packages. The
computer must be on for the nüvi
to charge.
Changing the Fuse
When replacing the fuse,
do not lose any of the small pieces
and make sure they are put back in
the proper place.
If your unit will not charge in your
vehicle, you might need to replace
the fuse located at the tip of the
vehicle adapter.
1. Unscrew the
black, round
end piece, and
remove it.
TIP: You may need
to use a coin to
remove the end
piece.
