hazardous situations could result in an accident or collision resulting in death or serious injury. When installing the Quest in a vehicle, place the unit securely so that it does not interfere with vehicle operating controls or obstruct the driver's view of the road (see diagram). Do not mount where driver's field of vision is blocked. Do not place unsecured on the vehicle dash. Do not mount in front of an airbag field of deployment. Always operate the vehicle in a safe manner. Do not become distracted by the Quest while driving, and always be fully aware of all driving conditions. Minimize the amount of time spent viewing the screen of the Quest while driving and use voice prompts when possible. Do not enter destinations, change settings, or access any functions requiring prolonged use of the unit's controls while driving. Pull over in a safe and legal manner before attempting such operations. When navigating, carefully compare information displayed on the Quest to all available navigation sources, including information from street signs, visual sightings, and maps. For safety, always resolve any discrepancies or questions before continuing navigation. The Quest contains a non-user-replaceable, rechargeable lithiumion battery. The battery may present a risk of fire or chemical burn if mistreated. · Do not remove from the unit, heat unit above 140°F (60°C), or incinerate. · Dispose of unit properly. Contact your local waste disposal department for information on properly disposing of lithium-ion batteries. WARNING: This product, its packaging, and its components contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or reproductive harm. This Notice is being provided in accordance with California's Proposition 65. If you have any questions or would like additional information, please refer to our Web site at www.garmin.com/prop65. iv Quest Owner's Manual INTRODUCTION > WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS Caution Failure to avoid the following potentially hazardous situations may result in injury or property damage. The Quest is designed to provide you with route suggestions. It does not reflect road closures or road conditions, traffic congestion, weather conditions, or other factors that may affect safety or timing while driving. Use the Quest only as a navigational aid. Do not attempt to use the Quest for any purpose requiring precise measurement of direction, distance, location, or topography. This product should not be used to determine ground proximity for aircraft navigation. The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the United States government, which is solely responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. The government's system is subject to changes which could affect the accuracy and performance of all GPS equipment, including the Quest. Although the Quest is a precision navigation device, any navigation device can be misused or misinterpreted and, therefore, become unsafe. 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 in product literature and copyright messages displayed to the consumer. Virtually all data sources contain inaccurate or incomplete data to some extent. In some countries, complete and accurate map information is either not available or is prohibitively expensive. Notice To Drivers in California and Minnesota: State law prohibits drivers in California and Minnesota from using suction mounts on their windshields while operating motor vehicles. Other Garmin dashboard or friction mounting options should be used. Garmin does not take any responsibility for any fines, penalties, or damages that may be incurred as a result of disregarding this notice. (See California Vehicle Code Section 26708(a); Minnesota Statutes 2005, Section 169.71.) Quest Owner's Manual v INTRODUCTION > CARING FOR THE QUEST Caring for the Quest Cleaning the Case The Quest is constructed of high quality materials and does not require user maintenance other than cleaning. To clean the unit's outer casing (except for the screen), use a cloth dampened with a mild detergent solution, and then wipe dry. Avoid chemical cleaners and solvents that may damage plastic components. Using the Quest Responsibly The Quest is equipped with a Safe Mode feature to improve driver safety. When your vehicle is moving, the Safe Mode disables all functions that require significant operator attention and could become a distraction when driving. Read the warnings on pages iv­v to learn how to install and use your Quest safely and responsibly. Battery Temperature Warning Cleaning the Screen Clean the screen using a soft, clean, lint-free cloth. Use water, isopropyl alcohol, or eyeglass cleaner if needed. To use these cleaners, apply the liquid to the cloth and wipe the screen. Your Quest contains an internal lithium-ion battery, which can store more energy than standard batteries. All batteries slowly lose the amount of energy they can hold over time. To maximize battery life, limit the unit's prolonged exposure to excessive heat and direct sunlight. On rare occasions, your Quest may freeze or lock up. In this case, reset it by pressing the Power key and the IN key at the same time. The unit turns off. The unit will operate normally when you turn it on again. Storing Your Quest Do not store the Quest where prolonged exposure to temperature extremes may occur (such as in the trunk of a car), as permanent damage may result. If Your Quest Locks Up... Avoiding Theft To avoid theft, take your Quest with you or remove it from view when you leave your vehicle. Recycling Your Quest The California Electronic Waste Recycling Act of 2003 requires recycling. See www.erecycle.org for more information.
