WARNING: If you choose to use the eTrex in a

vehicle, it is the sole responsibility of the owner/operator

of the eTrex to secure the GPS unit so that it will not cause

damage or personal injury in the event of an accident.

Do not mount the eTrex over airbag panels or in a place

where the driver or passengers are likely to have an

impact with it in an accident or collision.

WARNING: If you choose to use the eTrex in a

vehicle, it is the sole responsibility of the operator of the

vehicle to operate the vehicle in a safe manner, maintain

full surveillance of all driving conditions at all times, and

never become distracted by the eTrex to the exclusion

of safe operating practices. It is unsafe to operate the

eTrex while you are driving. Failure by the operator of

a vehicle equipped with an eTrex to pay full attention

to operating the vehicle and road conditions while the

vehicle is in motion could result in an accident or

collision with property damage and personal injury.

CAUTION: IT IS THE USER’S RESPONSIBILITY TO

USE THIS PRODUCT PRUDENTLY. THIS PRODUCT IS

INTENDED TO BE USED ONLY AS A TRAVEL AID AND

MUST NOT BE USED FOR ANY PURPOSE REQUIRING

PRECISE MEASUREMENT OF DIRECTION, DISTANCE,

LOCATION, OR TOPOGRAPHY.

CAUTION: The Global Positioning System (GPS) is

operated by the government of the United States, 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 eTrex is a precision electronic NAVigation

AID (NAVAID), any NAVAID can be misused or misinter-

preted and, therefore, become unsafe.

CAUTION: Electronics are protected if immersed,

but the battery compartment may get wet. Make sure the

batteries and compartment are dry before using.

Remove the batteries from

your eTrex if you don’t

expect to use it for several

months. Be sure to

observe the proper

polarity when re-install-

ing batteries. Follow the

battery manufacturer’s

instructions on the proper

care and handling of the

batteries.

Warnings and

Cautions

Introduction

The eTrex complies with Part 15 of the FCC limits

for Class B digital devices. This equipment generates,

uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not

installed or used in accordance with the instructions, may

cause harmful interference to radio communications.

There is no guarantee that interference will not occur

in a particular instance. If this equipment does cause

harmful interference to other equipment, try to correct

the problem by relocating the equipment.

Consult an authorized Garmin dealer or other quali-

ﬁed service technician if the problem cannot be corrected.

Operation is subject to the following conditions: (1) This

device cannot cause harmful interference, and (2) this

device must accept any interference received, including

interference that may cause undesired

operation.

The eTrex does not contain any user-serviceable

parts. Repairs should be made only by an authorized

Garmin service center. Unauthorized repairs can void the

warranty.

Introduction

FCC Compliance

Statement

California’s

Proposition 65

WARNING: This product, its packaging, and its

components contain chemicals 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 www.garmin.com/prop65.

The eTrex is a six ounce, 12 channel, hand held GPS

receiver. It has a built-in GPS antenna and ﬁve user-but-

tons. All buttons are located on the sides of the unit,

allowing for simple, one-handed operation that won’t

obstruct your view of the display. It runs for 22 hours on

two AA alkaline batteries in battery save mode.

In addition to determining your location, the eTrex

creates, names and saves a location (as an electronic

waypoint) in its memory, allowing you to navigate back to

this point any time you want. And once you start moving,

your GPS provides other data, like speed, direction of

movement, time and distance to destination, and more.

From these basic features, your Garmin GPS can

provide one more critical beneﬁt; peace of mind, because,

with GPS you know where you are, where you’ve been

and where you’re going. And since you always know the

way back home, you can concentrate on what you set out

to do and enjoy the great outdoors.

Other features include:

Waypoints: 500 with name and graphic symbol.

Tracks: Automatic track log; 10 saved tracks

let you retrace your path in both

directions.

Route: Allows you to navigate a course of

up to 50 waypoints in sequence.

Trip Computer: Current speed, average speed,

maximum speed, direction of

movement, bearing, elevation, time

of sunrise/sunset, trip timer and trip

odometer.

NOTE: You should

always be prepared for

and capable of navigat-

ing without the eTrex. It

is designed to augment

other forms of basic

navigation, not entirely

replace them.
