Why should I pair my
phone and headset with
my zūmo?
To get the full features of the zūmo,
you should pair your phone to the
zūmo and also pair your headset to
the zūmo. In addition to hands-free
phone use, you can also hear zūmo
navigation prompts through your
headset.
featUreS
Using Bluetooth® wireless technology,
your zūmo can connect to your mobile
phone and wireless headset to become a
hands-free device. To see if your device
with Bluetooth technology is compatible
with the zūmo, visit www.garmin.com/
Bluetooth wireless technology
For additional zūmo audio options,
establishes a wireless link between
devices, such as a mobile phone,
wireless headset, and the zūmo. The
first time you use two devices together
you must “pair” them by establishing a
relationship using a PIN/ passkey. After
the initial pairing, the two devices can
connect automatically each time you turn
them on.
Pairing Your Device
To pair and connect, your device and the
zūmo must be turned on and be within
10 meters of each other.
Initiate pairing from your zūmo or
from your mobile phone. Refer to your
phone’s instructions.

Cleaning the Unit
Using a Remote Antenna
The zūmo is constructed of high-
quality materials and does not require
user maintenance other than cleaning.
Clean the unit’s outer casing (not the
touch screen) using a cloth dampened
with a mild detergent solution, and
then wipe dry. Avoid chemical cleaners
and solvents that can damage plastic
components.
You can use an optional external remote
antenna (Garmin GA 25MCX). To
purchase, go to www.garmin.com/
.com/products/zumo550, and click
accessories.
Pull back the weather cap from the MCX
connector located on the back of the
zūmo, and connect the antenna.
Cleaning the Touch Screen
Clean the touch screen with a soft, clean,
lint-free cloth. Use water, isopropyl
alcohol, or eyeglass cleaner, if needed.
Apply the liquid to the cloth, and then
gently wipe the touch screen.
Caring for Your zūmo
Your zūmo contains sensitive electronic
components that can be permanently
damaged if exposed to excessive shock
or vibration outside normal motorcycle
or automobile use. To minimize the
risk of damage to your zūmo, avoid
dropping your unit and operating it in
extreme high-shock and high-vibration
environments.
Protecting Your zūmo
•
Carry and store your zūmo in the
included carrying case.
•
Do not store your zūmo where
prolonged exposure to extreme
temperatures can occur (such as in
the trunk of a car), because it can
cause permanent damage.
