Do not mount the unit over airbag panels or in the field of airbag deployment. Airbags expand with a rapid force that can propel objects in their path towards the vehicle driver or passengers, causing possible injury. Refer to airbag safety precautions contained in the vehicle owner's manual. Do not mount the unit in a place where the driver or passengers are likely to impact it in a collision. The mounting hardware provided by Garmin is not warranted against collision damage or the consequences thereof. 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 unit to the exclusion of safe driving practices. It is unsafe to operate the controls of the unit while you are driving. Failure by the driver of a vehicle equipped with a GPS 60 installed to pay full attention to operation of the vehicle and road conditions while the vehicle is in motion could result in an accident with property damage and personal injury. x Getting Started Installing the Batteries The GPS operates on two "AA" batteries (not included). Alkaline or NiMH batteries may be used (see p. 40 to set the battery type). Stored data will not be lost when batteries are removed. To install batteries: 1. Remove the battery cover by lifting up on the D-ring, turning it 1/4 turn counterclockwise, and then pulling the cover away. 2. Insert the batteries, observing the proper polarity. A polarity diagram can be found molded inside the battery compartment. 3. Reinstall the battery cover by connecting the bottom of the cover to the bottom of the unit. Make sure the tab on the cover fits into the slot on the unit. Press the cover closed and turn the D-ring clockwise to lock. Locking Pin Slot Installing Batteries When replacing batteries, use only new or fully charged batteries. Do not mix Alkaline and NiMH batteries. Rechargeable batteries may typically display lower capacity than disposable batteries. Remove the batteries from the unit if you don't plan to use it for several months. Storing batteries in the unit for prolonged periods may result in leaking and damage to the battery compartment. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper care and disposal of used batteries. Do not incinerate used batteries, as internal materials may ignite with explosive violence. Extensive use of backlighting, WAAS, or key beep tones can significantly reduce battery life.

Auxiliary Mount Alignment Slots 3 Getting Started Start Up and Initialization Initializing the GPS Receiver Each time you turn on the GPS 60, it will begin searching for satellite signals. The first time you turn on the unit, you must wait for the GPS to initialize. Initialization allows the GPS 60 to receive and store satellite information and begin using the satellites for navigation. This process happens automatically and should take no more than a few minutes. Keep in mind that satellite signals cannot pass through solid materials (except glass) or dense overhead tree cover, so you should initialize outdoors and away from obstructions. Once you initialize, the GPS 60 should find satellite signals quickly each time you turn it on. To initialize the GPS 60: 1. Take your GPS 60 outside where it has a clear view of the sky and turn it on by pressing and releasing the POWER key. 2. Wait while the GPS 60 searches for satellite signals. While the unit is searching, you see the message `Acquiring Satellites.' The Satellite Page Shows the status of the Shows the position of each satellite Shows the strength of each satellite 3. Once your GPS 60 has acquired satellites, your location in coordinates appears at the top of the Satellite Page. If initializing takes a long time, or if you have moved more than 600 miles since you last turned on the GPS 60, try moving away from tall trees, buildings, or other obstructions. If you still have trouble, see p. 7. 4 Getting Started The Main Page Sequence The Main Page Sequence When you turn on your GPS 60, you will see the Welcome Page and then the Satellite Page. The Satellite Page is the first in the sequence of five Main Pages: Satellite Page, Trip Computer Page, Map Page, Compass Page, and Main Menu Page.
