IntroductIon > safety InformatIon

Failure to avoid the following potentially hazardous situations could

result in an accident or collision resulting in death or serious injury.

Always operate the vehicle in a safe manner. Do not become distracted

by the Quest 2 while driving, and always be fully aware of all driving

conditions. Minimize the amount of time spent viewing the screen of the

Quest 2 while driving and use voice prompts when possible. Do not enter

destinations, change settings, or access any functions requiring prolonged

use of the unit’s controls while driving. Pull over in a safe and legal

manner before attempting such operations.

When navigating, carefully compare information displayed on the Quest 2

to all available navigation sources, including information from street signs,

visual sightings, and maps. For safety, always resolve any discrepancies or

questions before continuing navigation.

The Quest 2 contains a non-user-replaceable, rechargeable lithium-

ion battery. The battery may present a risk of re or chemical burn if

mistreated.

• Do not remove from the unit, heat unit above 140°F (60°C), or

incinerate.

• Dispose of unit properly. Contact your local waste disposal

department for information on properly disposing of lithium-ion

batteries.

IntroductIon > safety InformatIon

Failure to avoid the following potentially hazardous situations may

result in injury or property damage.

The Quest 2 is designed to provide you with route suggestions. It does

not reﬂect road closures or road conditions, trafc congestion, weather

conditions, or other factors that may affect safety or timing while driving.

Use the Quest 2 only as a navigational aid. Do not attempt to use the Quest

2 for any purpose requiring precise measurement of direction, distance,

location, or topography. This product should not be used to determine

ground proximity for aircraft navigation.

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the United States

government, which is solely responsible for its accuracy and maintenance.

The government’s system is subject to changes which could affect the

accuracy and performance of all GPS equipment, including the Quest 2.

Although the Quest 2 is a precision navigation device, any navigation

device can be misused or misinterpreted and, therefore, become unsafe.

Map Data Information: One of the goals of Garmin is to provide customers with the most complete and accurate cartography that is available to us at a

reasonable cost. We use a combination of governmental and private data sources, which we identify in product literature and copyright messages displayed to the

consumer. Virtually all data sources contain inaccurate or incomplete data to some extent. In some countries, complete and accurate map information is either not

available or is prohibitively expensive.

NOTICE TO DRIVERS IN CALIFORNIA AND MINNESOTA

: State law prohibits drivers in California and Minnesota from using suction mounts on their

windshields while operating motor vehicles. Other Garmin dashboard or friction mounting options should be used. Garmin does not take any responsibility for

any nes, penalties, or damages that may be incurred as a result of disregarding this notice. (See California Vehicle Code Section 26708(a); Minnesota Statutes

2005, Section 169.71.)

Tutorial

This tutorial guides you through the steps for nding a restaurant in

your area and then creating a route to it. If you have never used a

GPS unit, try this simple task. You will see that using your Quest 2

is fast and easy.

Be sure the antenna is unobstructed as it looks for satellites. For

example, it cannot establish a satellite x if your vehicle is parked

in a garage. Position the antenna so that it is parallel to the

surface of the road so that it can have the best view of the sky.

Step 1: If you have not already done so, ﬂip up the antenna and

snap the Quest 2 into the vehicle mount. See page 4 for additional

instructions. Turn on the Quest 2, if necessary, and acknowlege the

warning message. When the unit has established a satellite x, it

shows a “Ready to Navigate” message.
