Important Information
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 some
inaccurate or incomplete data. In some countries,
complete and accurate map information is either
not available or is prohibitively expensive.

DrivErS in CaliFornia anD
MinnESota: State law prohibits drivers in
California and Minnesota from using suction
mounts on their windshields while operating
motor vehicles. Check your state and local laws
and ordinances for similar restrictions. Other
Garmin dashboard or friction mounting options
should be used. Garmin does not take any
responsibility for any fines, penalties, or damages
that may be incurred as a result of disregarding
this notice or as a result of any other state or
local law or ordinance relating to use of the unit.
(See California Vehicle Code Section 26708(a);
Minnesota Statutes 2005, Section 169.71.)
The California Electronic Waste recycling
act of 2003 requires the recycling of certain
electronics. For more information on the
applicability to this product, see

Preface
Caring for Your c580
Your c580 contains sensitive electronic
components that can be permanently
damaged if exposed to excessive shock or
vibration. To minimize the risk of damage
to your c580, avoid dropping your unit
and operating it in high-shock and high-
vibration environments.
Cleaning the Unit
The c580 is constructed of high-quality
materials and does not require user
maintenance other than cleaning. Clean
the unit’s 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.
Cleaning the Touch Screen
Clean the touch screen with a soft, clean,
lint-free cloth. Use water, isopropyl alcohol,
or eyeglass cleaner, if needed. Apply the
liquid to the cloth, and then gently wipe the
touch screen.
•
•
Protecting Your c580
•
Do not store the c580 where prolonged
exposure to extreme temperatures can
occur (such as in the trunk of a car),
because it can cause permanent damage.
Do not expose the c580 to water.
Contact with water can cause this unit to
malfunction.
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.
Avoiding Theft
To avoid theft, remove the unit and
•
mount from sight when not in use.
Remove the residue on the windshield
left by the suction cup.
Do not keep your unit in the glove
compartment; thieves know where to
look.
Register your product at
http://my.garmin.com.
Use the Garmin Lock™ feature. See
page 6.
