- 1). Plug the power cable in the rear of the Garmin GPS unit into the AC port. This provides power to the device.
- 2). Insert the round end of the suction-cup mount into the socket on the rear of the cradle, which is the piece that secures the Garmin device. Press the two pieces firmly together to secure the connection. When you hear a "click" sound, the pieces are locked into place.
- 3). Pull the lever on the suction-cup up, then press the suction-cup against the windshield, in the location that you would like to mount the device. Push the lever down to form a seal between the suction-cup and the windshield.
- 4). Place the bottom of the Garmin GPS unit into the bottom of the cradle, aligning the notch on the cradle with the groove on the bottom on the unit. Press the top of the GPS into the cradle to secure the connection.
- 5). Plug the other end of the Garmin GPS power cable into the cigarette lighter port of your vehicle.
- 6). Slide the power key on the top or side of the Garmin GPS to turn the device on. If the battery is dead, you will need to turn on the vehicle with the Garmin power adapter connected to power and charge the unit. Once the unit is turned on for the first time, it will automatically attempt to locate the satellites, which may take several minutes. If the device can not locate the satellites, move the vehicle to an open location, free of trees and tall buildings.
