When navigating, carefully compare information displayed on the unit 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. Always operate the vehicle in a safe manner. Do not become distracted by the unit while driving, and always be fully aware of all driving conditions. Minimize the amount of time spent viewing the screen of the unit while driving and use voice prompts when possible.

v PREFACE Failure to avoid the following potentially hazardous situations may result in injury or property damage. The unit is designed to provide you with route suggestions. It does not reflect road closures or road conditions, traffic congestion, weather conditions, or other factors that may affect safety or timing while driving. Use the unit only as a navigational aid. Do not attempt to use the unit 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 unit. Although the unit is a precision navigation device, any navigation device can be misused or misinterpreted and, therefore, become unsafe. The unit has no user-serviceable parts. If you ever have a problem with your unit, take it to an authorized Garmin dealer for repairs. The unit is fastened shut with screws. Any attempt to open the case to change or modify the unit in any way voids your warranty and may result in permanent damage to the equipment. Caution This manual uses the term Caution to indicate a potentially hazardous situation, which, if not avoided, may result in minor injury or property damage. It may also be used without the symbol to alert you to avoid unsafe practices. 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 inaccurate or incomplete data to some extent. In some countries, complete and accurate map information is either not available or is prohibitively expensive.

PREFACE Caring for Your StreetPilot 2730 The StreetPilot 2730 is constructed of high quality materials and does not require user maintenance other than cleaning. Cleaning the Unit Clean the unit’s outer casing using a cloth dampened with a mild detergent solution and then wipe dry. Avoid chemical cleaners and solvents that can damage plastic components. Caring for the Touch Screen The touch screen is intended to be operated with a finger. Never use a hard or sharp object to operate the touch screen or damage may result. Though a PDA stylus can also be used to operate the touch screen, never attempt this while operating a vehicle. Clean the touch screen using 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 StreetPilot 2730 • Do not store the unit where prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures can occur (such as in the trunk of a car), as permanent damage may result. • To avoid theft, do not leave your StreetPilot in plain sight when you leave your vehicle. • Do not store alkaline batteries in the remote control for extended periods of time. To reduce the chance for battery leakage in the battery compartment, remove the batteries when storing the remote control for more than six months.

LISTENG OVER SPEAKERS LISTENING TO AUDIO OVER THE VEHICLE’S SPEAKERS You can listen to the StreetPilot’s audio ouput over your vehicle’s speakers. Plug the 12-Volt adapter into an outlet in your vehicle and find an unused FM frequency on your radio. ➍ Touch FM Transmitter and then Next. ➊ From the Menu page, touch Volume. ➋ Touch Settings. ➌ Touch Audio Output. ➎ Use the + and - to match the frequency selected on your radio and touch Done. See the page 33 for tips on finding a good frequency for the FM transmitter.

StreetPilot 2730 Owner’s Manual

33 LISTENG OVER SPEAKERS FM Transmitter Tips The FM transmitter is intended to transmit your StreetPilot’s audio to your car stereo’s antenna. Do not adjust your FM settings while you are driving your vehicle. When searching for an appropriate FM frequency on your vehicle’s radio, look for an unused frequency that has steady, consistent static. If you hear slight noises and sounds in the background of the static, choose a different frequency. Touch Test to play a sample audio output over your vehicle’s stereo. If the sound is not to your liking, try a different frequency and touch Test again. As you travel, you might need to change the frequency for the FM transmitter. A frequency not used by a radio station in your area might be used by a station elsewhere. As you drive, you may notice changes in the background static even though there is no FM station using that channel. You may notice this as you drive through intersections where certain kinds of traffic lights or other municipal electronic systems are operating. You might also notice this effect when the terrain changes, allowing distant stations to be received by your car stereo that were not received when you made your initial frequency selection. These and other sources of electrical interference may make it necessary to look for another frequency. The distance between the 12-Volt adapter, the StreetPilot, and the vehicle antenna may also affect the noise level. Vehicles with antennas located far away, such as a rear-mounted antenna, may experience more interference from outside noise sources than vehicles with front mounted antennas.
