Getting Started 1

Installing the Dash Camera Memory Card

Before the device can record video from the integrated dash camera, you must install a camera memory card.

The camera requires a microSD

memory card from 4 to 256GB with a speed rating of Class 10 or higher.

You can use the included memory card, or you can purchase a compatible memory card from an electronics

supplier.

NOTE: A memory card is included so your device is ready to use out of the box. All memory cards have a limited

life and must be replaced periodically. Your device alerts you when the memory card has exceeded its useful life

and needs to be replaced. You can follow the troubleshooting tips to help extend the useful life of the memory

card (My memory card has degraded and needs to be replaced, page59).

1 Insert a memory card into the camera memory card slot .

NOTE: If you install the memory card into the incorrect slot, the camera cannot record video.

2 Press it in until it clicks.

Mounting Considerations

• Do not mount the device in a location that obscures the driver's view of the road.

WARNING

It is your responsibility to ensure the mounting location complies with all applicable laws and ordinances, and

does not block your view of the road during the safe operation of your vehicle.

• Choose a location that allows you to route the power cable safely.

WARNING

When installing the device in a vehicle, install the device and power cable securely so they do not interfere with

the vehicle operating controls. Interference with the vehicle operating controls can result in a collision, which

could result in injury or death.

• Choose a location that allows the device to clearly hear your voice.

You should avoid placing the device near a speaker or air vent, which can produce noise that interferes with

the microphones.

• Choose a location that is within easy reach.

• Choose a location that provides the dash cam with a clear view of the road.

You should verify the vehicle's windshield wipers clear the windshield area in front of the dash cam, and you

should avoid placing the dash cam behind a tinted area of the windshield.

• Thoroughly clean the windshield before installing the mount.

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

Forward Collision Warning System

WARNING

The forward collision warning system (FCWS) feature is for information only and does not replace your

responsibility to observe all road and driving conditions, abide by all traffic regulations, and use safe driving

judgment at all times. The FCWS relies on the camera to provide a warning of upcoming vehicles and, as

a result, may have limited functionality in low visibility conditions. For more information, go to garmin.com

/warnings.

The FCWS feature alerts you when the device detects that there is not a safe distance between your vehicle

and the vehicle in front of you. The device determines your vehicle speed using GPS, and it calculates an

estimated safe following distance based on your speed. The FCWS activates automatically when your vehicle

speed exceeds 65km/hr (40mph).

When the device detects that you are too close to the vehicle in front of you, the device plays an audible alert,

and a warning appears on the screen.

Forward Collision Warning System Performance Tips

Several factors affect the performance of the forward collision warning system (FCWS). Some conditions may

prevent the FCWS feature from detecting a vehicle in front of you.

• The FCWS feature activates only when your vehicle speed exceeds 65km/h (40mph).

• The FCWS feature may not detect a vehicle in front of you when the camera's view of the vehicle is obscured

by rain, fog, snow, sun or headlight glare, or darkness.

• The FCWS feature may not function properly if the camera is incorrectly aligned (Aligning the Camera,

page8).

• The FCWS feature may not detect vehicles farther away than 40m (130ft.) or closer than 5m (16ft.).

• The FCWS feature may not function properly if the camera placement settings do not correctly indicate your

vehicle height or the placement of your device in the vehicle (

Aligning the Camera, page8).

• Clean the windshield in front of the camera.

• Verify the area of the windshield in front of the camera is cleared by the windshield wipers, and move the

device, if necessary.

My video recordings are choppy or incomplete

• For the best camera and video results, use a high-quality memory card with a speed rating of class 10 or

higher.

A slower memory card may not record video quickly enough.

• If you are viewing videos on your smartphone using a wireless connection to the camera, try viewing them in

another location with less wireless interference, or try transferring videos to the smartphone.

• Transfer important recordings to a computer or smartphone, and format the memory card .

58 Troubleshooting

My memory card has degraded and needs to be replaced

All microSD memory cards wear out after they are overwritten a large number of times. Periodically formatting

the card can extend the useful life and improve performance. Because the dash camera records continuously,

you may need to replace the memory card periodically (Installing the Dash Camera Memory Card, page2).

Your device detects memory card errors automatically and alerts you when it is time to format or replace your

memory card.

You can take these actions to help extend the useful life of the memory card.

• Format the memory card at least one time every six months .

• If the device displays a memory card error alert, first try formatting the memory card and then, if necessary,

replace the memory card (Installing the Dash Camera Memory Card, page2).

• Turn off the device when your vehicle is not in use.

If your device is not connected to an ignition-switched vehicle power outlet, you should turn off the device

when your vehicle is not in use to prevent the dash camera from recording unneeded footage.

• Use a memory card with a higher storage capacity.

Because higher-capacity memory cards are overwritten less frequently, they usually last longer.

• Use a high-quality memory card with a speed rating of class 10 or higher.

• Purchase your replacement memory card from a high-quality manufacturer and a reputable vendor.

The suction cup will not stay on my windshield

1 Clean the suction cup and windshield with rubbing alcohol.

2 Dry with a clean, dry cloth.

3 Mount the suction cup (Mounting and Powering the Garmin Device in Your Vehicle, page3).

My device is not acquiring satellite signals
