Voice Control Tips • Speak in a normal voice directed at the device. • Reduce background noise to increase the accuracy of the voice recognition. • Before each command, say OK, Garmin. • Listen for a tone to confirm that the camera successfully recognized a command. When the device detects that you are too close to the vehicle ahead of you, the device plays an audible alert, and a warning appears on the screen.
Lane Departure Warning Performance Tips Several factors affect the performance of the lane departure warning system (LDWS). Some conditions may prevent the LDWS feature from detecting lane departures. • The LDWS feature provides alerts only when your vehicle speed exceeds 65 km/h (40 mph). • The LDWS feature does not provide alerts on certain types of roads, such as highway ramps or merging lanes. • The LDWS feature may not function properly if the camera is incorrectly aligned.
Device Information Support and Updates Garmin Express (garmin.com/express) provides easy access to these services for Garmin devices. • Product registration • Product manuals • Software updates Before you can record videos while parked, you must connect your camera to the Dash Cam parking mode cable accessory (Parking Mode Cable Wiring Diagram, page 6).
