nvi 700 Series Owners Manual35

Frequency Selection Tips

For best results, select a frequency below 90.1 FM. When searching for an appropriate FM frequency on your FM stereo, look for an unused frequency that has steady, consistent static. If you hear slight noises and sounds in the background of the static, choose a different frequency. As you travel, you might need to change the frequency for the FM transmitter. A frequency not used by a radio station in your area might be used by a station elsewhere.
The distance between the vehicle power cable, the nvi, and the FM stereo antenna may also affect the noise level. Vehicles with antennas located far away, such as a rear-mounted antenna, may experience more interference from outside noise sources than vehicles with front-mounted antennas. As you drive, you may notice changes in the background static even though there is no FM station using that channel. You may notice this as you drive through intersections where certain kinds of traffic lights or other municipal electronic systems are operating. You might also notice this effect when the terrain changes, allowing distant stations to be received by your car stereo that were not received when you made your initial frequency selection. These and other sources of electrical interference may make it necessary to look for another frequency.
FM Transmitter Information
The FM transmitter is intended to transmit your nvis audio to your FM stereo. Do not adjust your FM settings while you are driving your vehicle.

Customizing the nvi

1. Touch Tools > Settings.
Usage Modespecify how you will be navigating to optimize routes: Automobile, Bicycle, or Pedestrian. Unitschange units of measure to Kilometers or Miles.

Battery Information

Your nvi contains an internal, nonreplaceable, lithium-ion battery. Do not remove or attempt to remove the battery. Doing so could result in risk of battery fire or damage and injury. The battery icon in the corner of the Menu page indicates the status of the internal battery. To increase the accuracy of the battery gauge, fully discharge the battery and then fully charge it; do not unplug the nvi until it is totally charged. Contact your local waste disposal department for information on properly disposing of the unit.

Your nvi contains sensitive electronic components that can be permanently damaged if exposed to excessive shock or vibration. To minimize the risk of damage to your nvi, avoid dropping your unit and operating it in high-shock and high-vibration environments.

Cleaning the Unit

The nvi is constructed of high-quality materials and does not require user maintenance other than cleaning. Clean the units outer casing (not the touch screen) using a cloth dampened with a mild detergent solution, and then wipe dry. Avoid chemical cleaners and solvents that can damage plastic components.

Using FM TMC Traffic

The traffic receiver is included in some nvi 710, 750T, 760, and 770 packages. If the nvi is connected to the FM TMC traffic receiver, connected to vehicle power, and you are in a coverage area, the nvi can receive traffic delay information. For more information, visit www.garmin.com/traffic. When calculating your route, the nvi examines the current traffic and automatically optimizes the route for the shortest time. You might still be routed through traffic if no alternative roads exist. If a severe traffic delay occurs on your route while you are navigating, the nvi automatically recalculates the route.
Note: You do not need to activate the subscription included with your FM traffic receiver (if it came with one). The subscription activates automatically after your nvi acquires satellite signals while receiving traffic signals from the pay service provider.
Using Hands-Free Features
Bluetooth wireless technology is available in nvi 710, 760, and 770 only. Hands-free phone features are available only if your nvi and your compatible mobile phone have Bluetooth wireless technology. Not all phones support all the hands-free phone features the nvi provides. To use the handsfree features, you must pair your phone and the nvi.
