IMPORTANT NOTE: The Garmin cf Que has been tested and found to operate in a satisfactory manner when installed in Pocket
PC’s that meet the minimum operational requirements stated on the product package and on page vi of this guide. However,
Garmin has no responsibility for the quality or the reliability of performance of those products.
A signifi cant issue, is the variance in maximum speaker volume for Pocket PCs of different manufacturers. You may fi nd the
speaker volume of your Pocket PC to be compromised by road noise and its location in your vehicle when receiving turn-by-turn
voice direction prompts while navigating with the cf Que. It is therefore recommended that you activate the “Attention Tone” fea-
ture to prepare you to listen in advance for each voice prompt. Instructions for activating the “Attention Tone” are found on Page
24 of this Guide. Other remedies may be third party devices that can amplify the speaker volume when connected to the auxiliary
speaker port of your Pocket PC. Consult your Pocket PC retailer for information concerning these devices.
Touch-screen responsiveness for some Garmin Que operating features, such as slider controls, may vary from Pocket PC to Pocket
PC.

Introduction
FCC Compliance
Information
Warnings and Precautions
The cf Que™ 1620 complies with Part 15 of the FCC interference limits for
Class B digital devices FOR HOME OR OFFICE USE. These limits are designed
to provide more reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation, and are more stringent than “outdoor” requirements.
Operation of this device is subject to the following conditions: (1) This device
may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interfer-
ence received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and,
if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harm-
ful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined
by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or and experienced radio/TV technician for help.
The cf Que™ does not contain any user-serviceable parts. Repairs should only
be made by an authorized Garmin service center. Unauthorized repairs or modi-
fi cations could result in permanent damage to the equipment, and void your war-
ranty and your authority to operated this device under Part 15 regulations.
CAUTION: Use the cf Que™ at your own risk. To reduce the risk of unsafe
operation, carefully review and understand all aspects of this Owner’s Manual—and
thoroughly practice operation using the simulator mode prior to actual use. When
in actual use, carefully compare indications from the cf Que™ to all available navi-
gation sources, including the information from other NAVAIDs, visual sightings,
charts, etc. For safety, always resolve any discrepancies before continuing naviga-
tion.
CAUTION: IT IS THE USER’S RESPONSIBILITY TO USE THIS PRODUCT
PRUDENTLY. THIS PRODUCT IS INTENDED TO BE USED ONLY AS A NAVI-
GATIONAL AID AND MUST NOT BE USED FOR ANY PURPOSE REQUIRING
PRECISE MEASUREMENT OF DIRECTION, DISTANCE, LOCATION OR TO-
POGRAPHY. THIS PRODUCT SHOULD NOT BE USED AS AN AID TO DETER-
MINE GROUND PROXIMITY FOR AIRCRAFT NAVIGATION.
CAUTION: The electronic chart is an aid to navigation and is designed to
facilitate the use of authorized government charts, not replace them. Only offi cial
government charts and notices to mariners contain all information needed for safe
navigation – and, as always, the user is responsible for their prudent use.

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 as required in product literature and copyright messages
displayed to the consumer. Virtually all data sources contain inaccurate or incom-
plete data to some degree. This is particularly true outside the United States, where
complete and accurate digital data is either not available or prohibitively expensive.
WARNING: The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the United
States government, which is solely responsible for its accuracy and maintenance.
The system is subject to changes which could affect the accuracy and performance
of all GPS equipment. Although the Garmin cf Que™ 1620 is a precision electronic
NAVigation AID (NAVAID), any NAVAID can be misused or misinterpreted and,
therefore, become unsafe.
WARNING: This product, its packaging, and its components contain chemi-
cals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or reproductive
harm. This Notice is being provided in accordance with California’s Proposition
65. If you have any questions or would like additional information, please refer to
our web site at http://www.garmin.com/prop65.
Important! Because the Garmin cf Que 1620 can be used for vehicular navi-
gation, important safety considerations must be observed. Please read and observe
the instructions on this page.
Safety Warnings and Cautions—Read This First!
WARNING: For use in vehicles, it is the sole responsibility of the owner/
operator of a vehicle equipped with a PDA with the cf Que™ 1620 installed, to
place and secure the device so that it will not interfere with the vehicle operating
controls and safety devices, obstruct the driver’s view of driving conditions, or
cause damage or personal injury in the event of an accident.
Do not mount the PDA over airbag panels or in the fi eld of airbag deployment.
Airbags expand with a rapid force that can propel objects in their path towards the
vehicle driver or passengers causing possible injury. Refer to airbag safety precau-
tions contained in the vehicle owner’s manual.
Do not mount the PDA in a place where the driver or passengers are likely to
impact it in a collision. The mounting hardware provided by Garmin is not war-
ranted against collision damage or the consequences thereof.
WARNING: When used in vehicles, it is the sole responsibility of the driver of
the vehicle to operate the vehicle in a safe manner, maintain full surveillance of all
driving conditions at all times, and not become distracted by the PDA to the exclu-
sion of safe driving practices. It is unsafe to operate the controls of the PDA while
you are driving. Failure by the driver of a vehicle equipped with a PDA with cf Que
1620 installed to pay full attention to operation of the vehicle and road conditions
while the vehicle is in motion could result in an accident with property damage
and personal injury.

Introduction
About the Manuals
Introduction
The Garmin cf Que™ 1620 is designed to use Garmin GPS technology as an
application with a Pocket PC to provide you with navigational guidance. Your cf
Que 1620 comes with three manuals.
“Read This First” - Setup Guide
The Setup Guide gives you computer connection and software installation
instructions, and other important details. Before reading the other manuals, read
the Setup Guide which is printed on the Installation CD case. (Available only on
the Installation CD.)
Quick Start Guide
The Quick Start Guide tells you how to get started navigating with a convenient
reference for basic features. This is a hard copy that you can carry with you as a
quick reminder of how features operate and how to access them.
cf Que 1620 Application Guide
This Applications Guide describes, in detail, how to use the cf Que™ 1620 add-
on application and hardware for navigation. While this document is in portable
document file (pdf) form, it can be printed out to a hard copy which may be of
benefit when you take the device outside to navigate. (Available only on the Instal-
lation CD.)
Editor’s Note:
The above manuals and guides were created using the cf Que and Que operat-
ing software installed on a Pocket PC equipped with popular features and operating
with Microsoft® Pocket PC Version 3.0.11171. If your make and model Pocket
PC meets the minimum requirements stated below, it should operate in a manner
similar to that described in these manuals and guides, but may not include some
features discussed in the applications guide. Many Pocket PC features described
in this guide are not essential to operation of the cf Que and are used primarily as
convenient alternate methods of operation.
It is also important that you understand the operation of your Pocket PC prior
to using the Garmin cf Que. The operation of the Garmin cf Que application
requires understanding of standard procedures used for the Pocket PC that are not
discussed in detail in the cf Que Applications Guide. If you purchased your Pocket
PC at the same time as the Garmin cf Que and are not yet familiar with its opera-
tion, it is strongly recommended that you learn how to operate the Pocket PC first.
Minimum Pocket PC requirements for cf Que 1620
Pocket PC, Pocket PC 2002, or Pocket PC 2003 operating system, CompactFlash
Type I or II slot, 16 MB program memory.
