Troubleshooting
| Problem | Solution |
| My device is not acquiring satellite signals. | ·Verify that the GPS simulator is turned off. ·From the main menu, touch Tools > Settings > System > GPS Simulator > Off. ·Take your device out of parking garages and away from tall buildings and trees. ·Remain stationary for several minutes. |
| The device does not charge in my vehicle. | ·Check the fuse in the vehicle power cable (page 73). ·Verify the vehicle is turned on and is supplying power to the power outlet. ·Your device can only charge between 32°F and 113°F (between 0°C and 45°C). If the device 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 (page 66). |
| How do I clear all of my user data? | See page 72. |
| My battery gauge does not seem accurate. | Allow the unit to fully discharge, and fully charge it (without interrupting the charge cycle). |
| How do I know my device is in USB mass storage mode? | When your device is in USB mass storage mode, a picture of a device connected to a computer is shown on the device screen. Also, you should see two new removable disk drives listed in My Computer. |
| The device is connected to the computer, but it will not go into mass storage mode. | 1. Disconnect the USB cable from your computer. 2. Turn off the device. 3. Plug the USB cable into a USB port on your computer and into your device. The device automatically turns on and goes into USB mass storage mode. 4. Verify your device is connected to a USB port and not a USB hub. |
| I cannot see any new removable drives in my list of drives. | If you have several network drives mapped on your computer, Windows can have trouble assigning drive letters to your device drives. Refer to your operating system Help file to learn how to map or assign drive letters. |
| My phone will not connect to the device. | From the main menu, touch Tools > Settings > Bluetooth. The Bluetooth field must be set to Enabled. Your phone must be turned on and be less than 33 feet (about 10 meters) away from your device. Go to www.garmin.com/bluetooth for more help. |
