Garmin nuvi 310 User manual

Mounting on the Windshield
Check your state and local trafc laws before mounting. Currently, state
laws in California and Minnesota prohibit drivers from using suction
mounts on their windshields while operating motor vehicles. Other
Garmin dashboard or friction mounting options should be used. See the
Important Safety and Product Information guide for more details.
1. Plug the power cable into the back of the
mount. Plug the other end into a 12/24-Volt
receptacle in your vehicle.
2. Clean and dry your windshield and the
suction cup with a lint-free cloth. Place the
suction cup on the windshield.
3. Flip the lever back, toward the windshield.
4. Flip up the GPS antenna. Fit the bottom of your nüvi into
the cradle.
5. Tilt the nüvi back until it snaps into place.
