Caring for Your c330

Your c330 contains sensitive electronic components that can be permanently damaged if exposed to excessive shock or vibration. To minimize the risk of damage to your c330, avoid dropping your unit and operating it in high shock/vibration environments.

Cleaning the Unit

The c330 is constructed of high quality materials and does not require user maintenance other than cleaning. Clean the units outer casing (except for 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.

Cleaning the Touch Screen
The touch screen is intended primarily to be operated with a nger. Though a PDA stylus can also be used to operate the touch screen, never attempt this while operating a vehicle. Never use a hard or sharp object to operate the touch screen or damage may result. The touch screen should be cleaned using a soft, clean, lint-free cloth. Water, isopropyl alcohol, or eyeglass cleaner can be used if needed. If these are used, apply the liquid to the cloth and then gently wipe the touch screen.
Calibrating the Touch Screen
If you think the touch screen is not responding properly, press and hold the Power button until the Calibration screen appears. Follow the on-screen instructions.

Protecting Your c330

Follow the cautions below to protect your c330 from damage: Do not store the c330 where prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures can occur (such as in the trunk of a car), as permanent damage may result. Do not expose the c330 to water. Contact with water can cause this unit to malfunction. Do not leave your c330 in plain sight when you leave your vehicle. Take your unit with you or remove it from view to avoid theft.
Using the c330 Responsibly
Your unit is equipped with a Safe Mode feature to improve driver safety. Safe Mode disables certain functions that can distract you while driving. See page 18 for more information.

Using the c330 Indoors

You can set your c330 to indoor use, which stops satellite reception. Use this setting when you are practicing using the unit. To turn off satellite reception, set the unit to GPS Off. See page 18.

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 signals. Connect the antenna to the connector located on the back of the c330. To purchase, go to the Garmin Web site at http://www.garmin.com/products/sp330 and select the Accessories link.

Using an SD Card

You can use an SD memory card for additional maps. The SD card slot is located on the side of the c330. To insert or remove the card, press it in until it clicks.

Inserting an SD Card

Purchasing Additional MapSource Maps
You can purchase additional MapSource map data from Garmin and download the maps to your SD card. The original maps that came installed on your c330 are protected from overwriting; you cannot accidentally delete them. Follow the instructions that came with the new map data to properly install the maps to your computer and c330. In order to enable additional maps, you need your unit ID (see page 18) and serial number (see page i).
Using the USB Drivers and Cable
Use the enclosed CD-ROM to install the USB drivers onto your computer. These drivers must be installed before you connect the USB cable to your computer. Use the Garmin USB cable provided to connect your c330 to your computer. This is necessary when updating your map data, updating the c330 software, or loading additional maps. Plug the small end of the USB cable into the connector above the power button. Plug the other end of the cable into an available USB connector on your computer.
Updating the c330 Software and Map Data
Garmin periodically updates its software and map data. If you register your unit, you will receive notication of 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/sp330/ and select the Software Updates link to see if an update to the c330s internal software is available. See page 17 for instructions on how to nd your current MapSource software and version number.
