Garmin nuvi 310 Quick Reference Manual
This guide provides short instructions for various nüvi operations.
Fold and keep this guide in the pocket of your nüvi carrying case.
WARNING:
See the owner’s manual for product warnings and other
important information.
Turning the nüvi On or Off
Press and hold the
Power
button on the top of the nüvi.
Charging the nüvi
To charge the nüvi, use one of the following methods:
● Connect the nüvi to the suction mount and the
12/24-Volt car adapter.
● Connect the USB cable to the nüvi and your computer.
● Connect the AC adapter to the nüvi and a wall outlet
(included with the nüvi 360).
Acquiring Satellites
Before the nüvi can find your current location and navigate a route,
you must do the following:
1. Go outdoors to an open area,
away from tall buildings and trees.
2. Flip up the GPS antenna on
the back of the nüvi, so that it is
parallel to the ground.
3. Turn on the nüvi. Acquiring
satellite signals can take a few
minutes.
The
bars indicate satellite strength. When the bars are
green, the nüvi has acquired satellite signals; now you can select a
destination and navigate to it.
Mounting on the Windshield
Check your state and local traffic laws before mounting. Currently, state laws
in California and Minnesota prohibit drivers from using suction mounts on
their windshields while operating motor vehicles. Other Garmin dashboard or
friction mounting options should be used. See the owner’s manual for more
details.
1. Plug the power cable into the back of the mount. Plug the
other end into a 12/24-Volt receptacle in your vehicle.
2. Clean and dry your windshield and the suction cup with a
lint-free cloth. Place the suction cup on the windshield.
3. Flip the lever back, toward the windshield.
4. Flip up the GPS antenna. Fit the bottom of your nüvi into
the cradle.
5. Tilt the nüvi back until it snaps into place.
