Installing AA Batteries The device operates on two 1.5 V AA batteries (not included). For the best results, you should use lithium batteries, which provide extended battery life and better performance at low temperatures. NOTICE Do not use AA batteries with a voltage specification higher than 1.5 V. Higher voltages will cause permanent damage to the camera. Do not use lithium-ion rechargeable AA battery cells.
Failure to heed the installation considerations could result in damage to the camera or the vehicle. Garmin is not responsible for any damage caused to the camera or vehicle during installation or as a result of the camera mount detaching from the vehicle. To install the mount, you need a drill with a 3.2 mm (1/8 in.) drill bit, a pencil, a Philips screwdriver, outdoor waterproofing sealant, and two M4 screws (included for some vehicles).
Pairing Additional Cameras with a Garmin Navigation Device 2 Remove the mount from the mounting surface, and use a 3.2 mm (1/8 in.) drill bit to drill pilot holes in the two locations you marked.

Updating the Camera Software Before you can update the camera software, you must pair the camera with a compatible Garmin navigation device (Pairing the Camera with a Garmin Navigation Device, page 5). On the paired Garmin navigation device, select an option: • Connect to a Wi‑Fi network, and select > Updates > Install All. • Install all available updates using the Garmin Express™ application. See the owner's manual for your Garmin navigation device for more information.
For example, if your camera is mounted at the top of your license plate, you can try moving it to the bottom of the license plate, or vice-versa. • Try one or more of these options to reduce sources of Wi‑Fi interference: ◦ Set the wireless router in your home to use a channel other than channel 11. The camera communicates with your navigation device using a 2.4 GHz Wi‑Fi signal on channel 11. Reducing the number of nearby devices using the same channel can improve the wireless connection.
