Always operate the vehicle in a safe manner. Do not become distracted by
the GPSMAP 496 while driving, and always be fully aware of all driving
conditions. Minimize the amount of time spent viewing the screen of the
GPSMAP 496 while driving and use voice prompts when possible. Do
not enter destinations, change settings, or access any functions requiring
prolonged use of the unit’s controls while driving. Pull over in a safe and
legal manner before attempting such operations.
When navigating, carefully compare information shown on the
GPSMAP 496 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.
The GPSMAP 496 contains a replaceable, rechargeable lithium-ion battery.
The battery may present a risk of fire or chemical burn if mistreated.

• Only replace with Garmin Lithium-ion Battery Pack. Using another
battery may present a risk of fire or explosion.
• Dispose of used battery or unit properly. Contact your local waste
disposal department for information on properly disposing of
lithium-ion batteries.
Use the electronic chart in the GPSMAP 496 only to facilitate, not to
replace, the use of authorized government charts. Official government charts
and notices to mariners contain all information needed to navigate safely.
When navigating in an aircraft, use the GPSMAP 496 only as an aid for
VFR navigation. Use terrain and obstacle data only as an aid to situational
awareness.
