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 GPS III is a precision electronic

NAVigation AID (NAVAID), any NAVAID can be misused or misinterpreted and, therefore, become unsafe.

WARNING: For vehicular applications, it’s the sole responsibility of the owner/operator of the GPS III 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 GPS III 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. The mounting hardware provided by GARMIN is not warranted against collision

damage or the consequences thereof.

WARNING: For vehicular operations, it is the sole responsibility of the operator of the vehicle to operate

his or her vehicle in a safe manner, maintain full surveillance of all driving conditions at all times, and never

become distracted by the GPS III to the exclusion of safe operating practices. It is unsafe to operate the GPS III

while you are driving. Failure by the operator of a vehicle equipped with a GPS III to pay full attention to oper-

ating the vehicle and road conditions while the vehicle is in motion could result in an accident or collision with

property damage and personal injury.
