Problem/Question Solution/Answer
My nüvi never gets
satellite signals.
Take your nüvi out of parking garages and away from tall
buildings and trees. Remain stationary for several minutes.
The suction cup will not
stay on my windshield.
Clean the suction cup and windshield with rubbing alcohol.
Dry with a clean, dry cloth. Mount the suction cup as
described on page 2.
My nüvi does not charge
in my vehicle.
Check the fuse in the vehicle power cable (see
pages 43–44).
Ensure the vehicle is turned on and is supplying power to
the power outlet.
Your nüvi can only charge between 32°F and 113°F (0°C
and 45°C). If the nüvi is placed in direct sunlight or in a hot
environment, it cannot charge.
My battery does not stay
charged for very long.
To maximize the time between charges, turn down
the backlight. Touch Tools > Settings > Display >
Brightness.
How do I clear all my
user data?
Hold your nger on the lower-right corner of the nüvi screen
while it is turning on. Keep your nger pressed until the
message appears. Touch Yes to clear all user data.
My battery gauge does
not seem accurate.
Allow the unit to fully discharge, and fully charge it (without
interrupting the charge cycle).
The touch screen is
not responding to my
touches.
Calibrate the touch screen as described on pages 41–42.
