Important Safety and Product Information
WARNING
Failure to heed the following warnings could result in an
accident or medical event resulting in death or serious
injury.
Battery Warnings
A lithium-ion battery is used in this device.
If these guidelines are not followed, batteries may
experience a shortened life span or may present a risk of
damage to the device, fire, chemical burn, electrolyte leak,
and/or injury.
• Do not disassemble, modify, remanufacture, puncture or
damage the device or batteries.
• Do not remove or attempt to remove the non-user-
replaceable battery.
• Do not expose the device or batteries to fire, explosion,
or other hazard.
Health Warnings
• If you have a pacemaker or other internal electronic
device, consult your physician before using a heart rate
monitor.
• The Garmin
®
optical wrist heart rate monitor and pulse
oximeter sensor emit green, red, and infrared light and
flash occasionally. Consult your physician if you have
epilepsy or are sensitive to bright or flashing lights.
• Always consult your physician before beginning or
modifying any exercise program.
• The Garmin device, accessories, heart rate monitor,
pulse oximeter sensor, and related data are intended to
be used only for recreational purposes and not for
medical purposes, and are not intended to diagnose,
monitor, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or condition.
• The heart rate and blood oxygen saturation readings are
for reference only, and no responsibility is accepted for
the consequences of any erroneous readings.
• While the Garmin optical wrist heart rate monitor
technology typically provides an accurate estimate of a
user's heart rate, there are inherent limitations with the
technology that may cause some of the heart rate
readings to be inaccurate under certain circumstances,
including the user's physical characteristics, fit of the
device, and type and intensity of activity.
• While the Garmin pulse oximeter sensor technology
typically provides an accurate estimate of a user's blood
oxygen saturation, there are inherent limitations with the
technology that may cause some of the oxygen
saturation readings to be inaccurate under certain
circumstances, including the user's physical
characteristics, fit of the device, position of the device,
and movement.
• Garmin activity trackers rely on sensors that track your
movement and other metrics. The data and information
provided by these devices is intended to be a close
estimation of your activity and metrics tracked, but may
not be completely accurate, including step, sleep,
distance, heart rate, oxygen saturation, and calorie data.
Device Warnings
• Do not leave the device exposed to a heat source or in a
high-temperature location, such as in the sun in an
unattended vehicle. To prevent the possibility of
damage, remove the device from the vehicle or store it
out of direct sunlight, such as in the glove box.
• Do not operate the device outside of the temperature
ranges specified in the printed manual in the product
packaging.
• When storing the device for an extended time period,
store within the temperature ranges specified in the
printed manual in the product packaging.
• Do not use a power cable, data cable and/or power
adapter that is not approved or supplied by Garmin.
Safety and Tracking Warning
The assistance feature allows you to send your location
to an emergency contact. This is a supplemental feature
and should not be relied upon as a primary method to
obtain emergency assistance. The Garmin Connect
™
app
does not contact emergency services on your behalf.
The incident detection feature is only available while you
are tracking a walk, run, hike, or bike activity on your
Garmin device. For more information, see the device
owner's manual.
Bicycle Warnings
• Always use your best judgement, and operate the bicycle
in a safe manner.
• Make sure your bicycle and hardware are properly
maintained and that all parts are correctly installed.
Navigation Warnings
If your Garmin device uses or accepts map data, follow
these guidelines to ensure safe navigating.
• Always carefully compare information displayed on the
device to all available navigation sources, including
information from visual sightings, local waterway rules
and restrictions, and maps. For safety, always resolve
any discrepancies or questions before continuing
navigation, and defer to posted signs and conditions.
• Use this device only as a navigational aid. Do not
attempt to use the device for any purpose requiring
precise measurement of direction, distance, location, or
topography.
