The Reference section provides details about using the features of the eMap according to topic. The Appendices contain information on items such as Accessories, Specifications, a Troubleshooting Guide and an Index by Subject. Standard Package Contents: eMap Unit Lanyard Owner's Manual Quick Start Guide i Introduction FCC Compliance Statement NOTE: This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC limits for Class B digital devices FOR HOME OR OFFICE USE ("home" or "office" interference requirements are more stringent than "outdoor" requirements). Operation of this device is subject to the following conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. The eMap does not contain any user-serviceable parts. Repairs should only be made by an authorized GARMIN service center. Unauthorized repairs or modifications could result in permanent damage to the equipment, and can void your warranty and your authority to operate this device under Part 15 regulations. CAUTION: The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the government of the United States, which is solely responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. The system is subject to changes which could affect the accuracy and performance of all GPS equipment. Although the eMap is a precision electronic NAVigation AID (NAVAID), any NAVAID can be misused or misinterpreted and, therefore, become unsafe. CAUTION: IT IS THE USER'S RESPONSIBILITY TO USE THIS PRODUCT PRUDENTLY. THIS PRODUCT IS INTENDED TO BE USED ONLY AS A TRAVEL AID AND MUST NOT BE USED FOR ANY PURPOSE REQUIRING PRECISE MEASUREMENT OF DIRECTION, DISTANCE, LOCATION, OR TOPOGRAPHY. THIS PRODUCT SHOULD NOT BE USED AS AN AID TO DETERMINE GROUND PROXIMITY FOR AIRCRAFT NAVIGATION. Warnings and Precautions ii Introduction MAP DATA INFORMATION: One of the goals of GARMIN is to provide customers with the most complete and accurate cartography that is available to us at a reasonable cost. We use a combination of governmental and private data sources, which we identify as required in product literature and copyright messages displayed to the consumer. Virtually all data sources contain inaccurate or incomplete data to some degree. This is particularly true outside the United States, where complete and accurate digital data is either not available or prohibitively expensive. Warnings and Precautions WARNING: For use in vehicles, it is the sole responsibility of the owner/operator of the eMap to secure the GPS unit so that it will not interfere with the vehicle's operating controls, obstruct the driver's view of driving conditions, or cause damage or personal injury in the event of an accident. Do not mount the eMap over air bag panels or in the field of air bag deployment. AIr bags expand with a rapid force that can propel objects in their path toward the driver or passengers, causing possible injury. Refer to air bag safety precautions contained in the vehicle owner's manual. Do not mount the eMap in a place where the driver or passengers are likely to impact it in an accident or collison. The mounting hardware provided by GARMIN is not warranted against collision damage or the consequences thereof. #!"#$"%#&"'(%#;<+,+#!,.*+,=4 #5.+37#"6#>.4."(#.4#/3"?@+7 !"#$"%#230?+ A(4+?',+7#"( %<+#>+<.?3+#!04< !"#$"%#&"'(% )*+,# -.,# /01 20(+34 !"#$"%#&"'(% .(#5,"(%#"6#0( -.,# /01# 5.+37 "6#!+83"9:+(% WARNING: When used in vehicles, it is the sole responsibility of the driver of the vehicle to operate the vehicle in a safe manner, maintain full surveillance of all driving conditions at all times, and not become distracted by the eMap to the exclusion of safe driving practices. It is unsafe to operate the controls of the eMap while you are driving. Failure by the driver of a vehicle equipped with an eMap to pay full attention to operation of the vehicle and road conditions while the vehicle is in motion could result in an accident or collision with property damage and personal injury. iii Introduction Table of Contents Section One ­ Introduction About This Manual................................i Location Averaging.....................................20 FCC Compliance Statement...................ii Saving as a Waypoint.............................20 Warnings and Precautions........................ii-iii Using the Find Menu............................21-25 Using Goto.........................................26 The Main Menu...........................................27 The Trip Computer......................................27 Section Two - Getting Started Tracks Page.......................................28 eMap Key Function.......................................1 Route Page........................................29 BatteryInstallation...................................2 The GPS Info Page...................................30 Start-Up.....................................................2 Sun and Moon Page..................................31 Determining Your Location..........................3 MapSource Info....................................31 Using the Map Page...............................3-5 System Info Page..................................31 The Map Page Options Menu........................6 System Setup Options............................32-34 The Main Menu............................................7 The Find Menu..........................................8 Contrast Settings.......................................9 Backlighting..............................................9 Section Four - Appendices Appendix A: Accessories.......................35 Setting the Time.........................................9 Appendix B: Specifications....................36 Beeper Tones.........................................9 Appendix C: Messages..........................37 Map Data Card Installation.........................10 Appendix D: Maintenance......................38 Transferring Map Data............................10 Appendix E: Wiring/Interfaces................39 Appendix F: UTC Time Offset Chart.........40 Appendix G: MapSource Data.................41 Section Three - Reference Appendix H: Limited Warranty...............42 Option Menus....................................11 Appendix I: Index.............................43-44 On-Screen Buttons.................................11 .

These batteries will provide up to 12 hours of continuous use. Rechargeable NiCad, NiMH, or Lithium batteries may be also used. Stored data will not be lost when the batteries are removed. Refer to battery care information on page 38. To install the batteries: 1. Open the battery compartment on the back of the unit by pressing the two arrows on the cover. Slide it back and then lift up to remove. 2. Install the batteries according to the polarity markings in the battery compartment. Use only new batteries. Do not mix battery types, (i.e. alkaline, NiCad, Lithium) 3. Press the cover onto the compartment then slide forward until it clicks back in place. Remove battery compartment cover, observe polarity markings, install batteries and reinstall cover. NOTE: When using fully charged rechargeable batteries, the Battery Capacity Indicator may typically indicate less than full. This is a characteristic of rechargeables and does not necessarily indicate that they will not last as long as disposable Alkaline batteries. NOTE: you a .
