location. The time required to acquire satellite signals varies based on several factors, including how far you are
from the location where you last used your navigation device, whether you have a clear view of the sky, and how
long it has been since you last used your navigation device. The first time you turn on your navigation device, it
may take several minutes to acquire satellite signals.
1Turn on the device.

battery.
• If you are connecting the power cable to an accessory power source or bus bar that already has a suitable
fuse or a protective circuit, installing the included in-line fuse is not necessary.
• When installing the fuse cable, you must connect it to the red system power cable using solder and heat-
shrink tubing.

Rider Awareness Features and Alerts 7

Enabling or Disabling Rider Alerts
You can turn off individual audible rider alerts. Visual alerts appear even when the audible alert is disabled.
1Select > Driver Assistance > Rider Alerts.
2Select or clear the tick box next to each alert.
Red light and speed cameras
NOTICE
Garmin is not responsible for the accuracy of or the consequences of using a red light or speed camera
database.
NOTE: this feature is not available for all regions or product models.
Information about red light and speed camera locations is available in some areas for some product models.
The device alerts you when you approach a reported speed or red light camera.
• In some areas, your device can receive red light and speed camera data while connected to a smartphone
running the Tread app.
• You can use the Garmin Express™ software (garmin.com/express) or the Tread app to update the camera
database stored on your device. You should update your device frequently to receive the most up-to-date
camera information.
Incident Detection and Notifications
WARNING
The device allows you to send your location to an emergency contact. This is a supplementary feature and
should not be relied upon as a primary method to obtain emergency assistance. The Tread app does not
contact emergency services on your behalf.
NOTICE
To use this feature, your device must be connected to the Tread app using Bluetooth technology. You can set
emergency contacts using the Tread app.
Your zūmo device uses built-in sensors to detect a possible vehicle incident.
• If you set up an emergency contact, the device can send an automated text message to that contact when it
detects an incident and your vehicle stops moving. This can help alert the contact to your situation if you are
not able to call or send a message. This feature requires your device to be connected to the Tread app using
Bluetooth technology and your phone to have an active mobile data connection to send a message.
• If you have not set up an emergency contact, the device automatically displays the nearest address or
geographic coordinates, if available, when it detects an incident. This feature is helpful if you need to tell
emergency personnel your location.
• If you have an inReach® satellite communicator connected to your zūmo device, you can manually send an
SOS when your zūmo device detects an incident.
8 Rider Awareness Features and Alerts

Setting Up an Emergency Contact
Before you can set up an emergency contact, you must connect your navigation device to the Tread app (Pairing
with Your Smartphone, page29).
The device must have access to the Tread app and to your smartphone phone book during the emergency
contact setup.
1From the Tread app on your smartphone, select > Emergency Assistance > Continue.
2Read and accept the terms of use.
NOTE: you must accept the terms of use to use this feature.
3Select Add Emergency Contact.
A list of your smartphone contacts appears.
4Select a contact.
5Select Import > Save.
6Follow the on-screen instructions to inform your contact that you have added them as an emergency
contact.
NOTE: the incident notification message includes the name or nickname you entered, but it is not sent from
your phone number. The message is sent using a third-party service, and you should inform your emergency
contact that the incident message will come from an unknown number.
Cancelling an Incident Notification
When the device detects an incident, a message and a voice prompt inform you that a notification will be sent
to your emergency contact. A 60-second countdown timer starts when the incident is detected, and the device
sends the notification automatically when the timer expires. If you do not want to send the notification, you can
cancel it.
Before the timer expires, select Cancel.
Disabling Incident Notifications
While incident notifications are disabled, the device does not send an SMS notification when it detects an
incident.
1Select > Driver Assistance.
2Clear the Automatic Incident Detection tick box.
inReach Remote
The inReach remote function allows you to control your inReach satellite communication device (sold
separately) using your zūmo device. You can send messages, view weather reports, trigger an SOS alert and
more. Go to buy.garmin.com to purchase an inReach device.
Connecting an inReach Device
1Bring the inReach device within 3m (10ft.) of your zūmo device.
2On your zūmo device, select > inReach.
3Follow the on-screen instructions on your zūmo device to complete the pairing process.
After the pairing process is complete, the inReach and zūmo devices connect automatically when they are
within range.
Rider Awareness Features and Alerts 9

Sending an inReach Message
Before you can send an inReach message using your zūmo device, you must pair it with a compatible inReach
device (Connecting an inReach Device, page9).

Initiating an SOS Rescue
WARNING
Before you can initiate an SOS rescue using your zūmo navigator, you must pair it with a compatible inReach
satellite communicator (Connecting an inReach Device, page9).
CAUTION
While the device is in SOS mode, do not turn off or attempt to turn off the inReach satellite communicator. Doing
so could prevent this feature from operating properly and could delay receipt of assistance in the event of an
emergency.
1Select > inReach.
2Select .
3Wait for the SOS countdown.
The device sends a default message to the emergency response service with details about your location.
4Reply to the confirmation message from the emergency response service.
Your reply lets the emergency response service know that you are capable of interacting with them during
the rescue.
For the first 10 minutes of your rescue, an updated location is sent to the emergency response service every
minute. To conserve battery power after the first 10 minutes, an updated location is sent every 10 minutes
when moving and every 30 minutes when stationary.
Cancelling an SOS Rescue
If you no longer need assistance, you can cancel an SOS rescue after it is sent to the emergency response
service.
Select Cancel SOS.
Your device transmits the cancellation request. When you receive a confirmation message from the emergency
response service, the device returns to normal operation.
