APPENDIX

Mounting to Your Windshield or Dashboard
You can mount your i2/i3/i5 to the windshield or the dashboard of your vehicle. To mount to your windshield, see the Set Up and Go! instructions that came in your StreetPilots box. To mount to your dashboard, use the mounting disk that came in the box. California drivers, mount the StreetPilot to your dashboard to comply with California regulations. See the Product Information Sheet that came in the box for more information.
IMPORTANT: The mounting disk sticks to your dashboard with permanent mounting adhesive and is extremely difcult to remove after it is installed.
To mount to your dashboard:
Clean and dry the dashboard where you want to mount the StreetPilot. Locate the mounting disk that came in the box. Remove the backing from the permanent mounting adhesive on the bottom of the disk, and place the disk on the dashboard. Place the mount on top of the disk with the lever up. Flip the lever down, as shown, to secure the suction cup.

Removing the Mount from the Windshield

Cleaning and Care

Your StreetPilot is constructed of high-quality materials and does not require user maintenance other than cleaning. Clean the outer casing (except for the screen) using a cloth dampened with a mild detergent solution. Wipe dry. Avoid chemical cleaners and solvents that can damage plastic components. Clean the screen using a soft, clean, lint-free cloth. Use water, isopropyl alcohol, or eyeglass cleaner if needed. Apply the liquid to the cloth and then gently wipe the screen.

Avoiding Damage

Your StreetPilot contains sensitive electronic components that can be permanently damaged if exposed to excessive shock or vibration. To minimize the risk of damage, avoid dropping your StreetPilot or operating it in high shock/vibration environments. Follow the cautions below to protect your StreetPilot from damage: Do not store it where prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures can occur (such as in the trunk of a car), because permanent damage may result. Do not expose it to water. Contact with water can cause it to malfunction. Do not leave it in plain sight when you leave your vehicle. Take it with you or remove it from view to avoid theft. Remove the batteries if you are storing it for more than a month without using it. Otherwise, keep batteries installed at all times to ensure that it acquires satellite signals quickly each time you turn it on.

Loading Maps

The i5 comes preloaded with detailed maps for North America or Europe. You cannot change or delete these maps, but you can add additional maps using a microSD card. You can change the maps that are loaded on your i2 or i3. Use the Garmin USB cable to connect your i2/ i3 to your computer. Then open MapInstall on your personal computer and use it to select and load new maps. If you need to reload MapInstall on your computer, use the i2/i3 Setup DVD. You can purchase additional map data from Garmin. To load these additional maps, you need your unit ID (see page 19) and serial number (see page i).

Loading Maps for Other Countries
You can purchase maps for other countries directly from Garmin dealers. Maps for European countries may come preloaded on a microSD card. Contact your Garmin dealer for more information.
Updating Software and Map Data
Garmin periodically updates its software and map data. If you register your StreetPilot, you will be notied about software and map updates. Check the Garmin Web site at http://www.garmin.com/unlock/update.jsp to see if an update for your map software is available. Also check http://www.garmin.com/products/spi2, spi3, or spi5 and select the Software Updates link to see if an update for your StreetPilots internal software is available. See page 16 for instructions on how to determine your current map software and version number.

About Satellite Signals

Your StreetPilot must acquire satellite signals to operate. If you are indoors, near tall buildings or trees, or in a parking garage, the StreetPilot cannot acquire satellites. Go outside to an area free from tall obstructions to use your StreetPilot, or turn off GPS and use it indoors (see page 17). Keep batteries installed in your StreetPilot to ensure that it acquires satellite signals quickly each time you turn it on. For more information about GPS, visit the Garmin Web site at http://www.garmin.com/aboutGPS. When the StreetPilot has acquired satellite signals, the signal strength bars on the main page are green. When it loses satellite signals, the bars turn red or disappear. If the StreetPilot has trouble acquiring satellite signals, a series of questions appears.

Using a Remote Antenna

You can use an optional external remote antenna (Garmin GA 27C). This is very helpful when operating the StreetPilot in a vehicle with a coated windshield or an in-screen (in the window) heating system, which can block GPS satellite signals. Connect the antenna to the connector located on the left side of the StreetPilot. To purchase, go to the Garmin Web site at http://www.garmin.com/products/spi2, spi3, or spi5 and select the Accessories link.

Troubleshooting

My StreetPilot does not turn on
Install two new AA batteries in your StreetPilot. Do not mix old and new batteries or different types of batteries, because this can prevent the StreetPilot from operating.
My StreetPilot cannot nd satellites.
Make sure your StreetPilot has a clear view of the sky. The rst time you use your StreetPilot, you must leave it stationary with a clear view of the sky for up to 40 minutes. See the previous page for more information on acquiring satellite signals. If your StreetPilot does not acquire satellite signals within 40 minutes, you may need to reset your StreetPilot. See Resetting Your StreetPilot, page 26. The StreetPilot cannot acquire satellite signals through a heated or heat-reective windscreen in your vehicle. To remedy this problem, you can use a Garmin external antenna. See the previous page for more information.

My StreetPilot freezes up.
If your StreetPilot stops responding to button presses, reset your StreetPilot by following the instructions on page 26.
My i2 or i3 is asking me to insert the microSD (TransFlash) card.
Check the microSD card slot on the side of your StreetPilot. Insert the microSD card if it is not in the card slot. If your StreetPilot did not come with a microSD card, contact your Garmin dealer. If the microSD card is present, you may need to reset your StreetPilot. Press in on the card to remove it from the slot. Then follow the instructions on page 26 to reset your StreetPilot. After you reset the StreetPilot, reinsert the card into the card slot.
Resetting Your StreetPilot
If your StreetPilot freezes (stops responding to button presses), try turning it off and then on again. If this does not help, remove the batteries and then reinsert them. Disconnect from external power, if necessary.

Clearing all User Data

If resetting does not x your problem, you may need to clear all user data from your StreetPilot.
IMPORTANT: if you clear all user data, you will delete all saved locations from My Favorites and all settings in your StreetPilot. Be sure you want to clear all user data before proceeding.
To clear all user data, press and hold down all buttons in the following order: , Wheel, Power. Continue holding down all buttons until you see a prompt, Do you really want to erase all user data? Select Yes.

External Power
You can run your StreetPilot on external power by using the car adapter or by connecting it to your computer with the USB cable.

Battery Information

Your StreetPilot uses 2 AA batteries. Do not mix different types of batteries or old and new batteries. To maximize battery life, limit your StreetPilots prolonged exposure to excessive heat and direct sunlight. We recommend using high-capacity NiMH batteries (2300+ mAh) for the best audio performance on battery power.

APPENDIX
Mounting to Your Windshield or Dashboard
You can mount your i2/i3/i5 to the windshield or the dashboard of your vehicle. To mount to your windshield, see the Set Up and Go! instructions that came in your StreetPilots box. To mount to your dashboard, use the mounting disk that came in the box. California drivers, mount the StreetPilot to your dashboard to comply with California regulations. See the Product Information Sheet that came in the box for more information.
IMPORTANT: The mounting disk sticks to your dashboard with permanent mounting adhesive and is extremely difcult to remove after it is installed.
To mount to your dashboard:
Clean and dry the dashboard where you want to mount the StreetPilot. Locate the mounting disk that came in the box. Remove the backing from the permanent mounting adhesive on the bottom of the disk and place the disk on the dashboard. Place the mount on top of the disk with the lever up. Flip the lever down, as shown, to secure the suction cup.

Cleaning and Care

Your StreetPilot is constructed of high quality materials and does not require user maintenance other than cleaning. Clean the outer casing (except for the screen) using a cloth dampened with a mild detergent solution. Wipe dry. Avoid chemical cleaners and solvents that can damage plastic components. Clean the screen using a soft, clean, lint-free cloth. Use water, isopropyl alcohol, or eyeglass cleaner if needed. Apply the liquid to the cloth and then gently wipe the screen.

Avoiding Damage

Your StreetPilot contains sensitive electronic components that can be permanently damaged if exposed to excessive shock or vibration. To minimize the risk of damage, avoid dropping your StreetPilot or operating it in high shock/vibration environments. Follow the cautions below to protect your StreetPilot from damage: Do not store it where prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures can occur (such as in the trunk of a car), as permanent damage may result. Do not expose it to water. Contact with water can cause it to malfunction. Do not leave it in plain sight when you leave your vehicle. Take it with you or remove it from view to avoid theft. Remove the batteries if you are storing it for more than a month without using it. Otherwise, keep batteries installed at all times to ensure that it acquires satellite signals quickly each time you turn it on.

Resetting Your i2/i3/i5

If your StreetPilot freezes (stops responding to button presses), try turning it off and then on again. If this does not help, remove the batteries and then reinsert them. Disconnect from external power, if necessary.

Loading Maps

The i5 comes preloaded with detailed maps for North America or Europe. You cannot change or delete these maps, but you can add additional maps using a TransFlash (microSD) card. You can change the maps that are loaded on your i2 or i3. Use the Garmin USB cable to connect your i2/ i3 to your computer. Then open MapInstall on your personal computer and use it to select and load new maps. If you need to reload MapInstall on your computer, use the i2/i3 Setup DVD. You can purchase additional map data from Garmin. To load these additional maps, you need your unit ID (see page 19) and serial number (see page i).
Updating Software and Map Data
Garmin periodically updates its software and map data. If you register your StreetPilot, you will be notied about software and map updates. Check the Garmin Web site at http://www.garmin.com/unlock/update.jsp to see if an update for your map software is available. Also check http://www.garmin.com/products/spi2, spi3, or spi5 and select the Software Updates link to see if an update for your StreetPilots internal software is available. See page 16 for instructions on how to nd your current map software and version number.

About Satellite Signals

Your StreetPilot must acquire satellite signals to operate. If you are indoors, near tall buildings or trees, or in a parking garage, the StreetPilot cannot acquire satellites. Go outside to an area free from tall obstructions to use your StreetPilot, or turn off GPS and use it indoors (see page 17). Keep batteries installed in your StreetPilot to ensure that it acquires satellite signals quickly each time you turn it on. For more information about GPS, visit the Garmin Web site at http://www.garmin.com/aboutGPS. When the StreetPilot has acquired satellite signals, the signal strength bars on the main page are green. When it loses satellite signals, the bars turn red or disappear. If the StreetPilot has trouble acquiring satellite signals, a series of questions appears.

Using a Remote Antenna

You can use an optional external remote antenna (Garmin GA 27C). This is very helpful when operating the unit in a vehicle with a coated windshield or an in-screen (in the window) heating system, which can block GPS satellite signals. Connect the antenna to the connector located on the left side of the StreetPilot. To purchase, go to the Garmin Web site at http://www.garmin.com/products/spi2, spi3, or spi5 and select the Accessories link.
