WARNING: If you choose to use the eTrex in a
vehicle, it is the sole responsibility of the owner/operator
of the eTrex to secure the GPS unit so that it will not cause
damage or personal injury in the event of an accident.
Do not mount the eTrex over airbag panels or in a place
where the driver or passengers are likely to have an
impact with it in an accident or collision.
WARNING: If you choose to use the eTrex in a
vehicle, it is the sole responsibility of the operator of the
vehicle to operate the vehicle in a safe manner, maintain
full surveillance of all driving conditions at all times, and
never become distracted by the eTrex to the exclusion
of safe operating practices. It is unsafe to operate the
eTrex while you are driving. Failure by the operator of
a vehicle equipped with an eTrex to pay full attention
to operating the vehicle and road conditions while the
vehicle is in motion could result in an accident or
collision with property damage and personal injury.
