Important Safety and Product Information  Warning Failure to avoid the following potentially hazardous situations could result in death or serious injury. Health Warnings • Always consult your physician before beginning or modifying any exercise program. If you have a pacemaker or other implanted electronic device, consult your physician before using a heart rate monitor. • The device, the heart rate monitor, and other Garmin accessories are consumer devices, not medical devices, and could suffer from interference from external electrical sources. The heart rate readings are for reference only, and no responsibility is accepted for the consequences of any erroneous readings. Navigation Warnings If your device contains or accepts street map products, follow these guidelines as well to ensure safe navigating: • Always use your best judgement, and operate the vehicle in a safe manner. Do not become distracted by the device while driving, and always be fully aware of all driving conditions. Minimize the amount of time spent viewing the device screen while driving, and use voice prompts when possible. • Do not input destinations, change settings, or access any functions requiring prolonged use of the device controls while driving. Pull over in a safe and legal manner before attempting such operations. • When navigating, carefully compare information displayed on the device to all available navigation sources, including road signs, road closures, road conditions, traffic congestion, weather conditions, and other factors that may affect safety while driving. For safety, always resolve any discrepancies before continuing navigation, and defer to posted road signs and road conditions. • The device is designed to provide route suggestions. It is not a replacement for driver attentiveness and good judgement. Do not follow route suggestions if they suggest an unsafe or illegal maneuver or would place the vehicle in an unsafe situation. Battery Warnings If these guidelines are not followed, the internal lithium-ion battery may experience a shortened life span or may present a risk of damage to the GPS device, fire, chemical burn, electrolyte leak, and/or injury. • 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 damage, remove the device from the vehicle or store it out of direct sunlight, such as in the glove box. • Do not disassemble, modify, remanufacture, puncture or damage the device. • Do not immerse or expose the device to water or other liquids, fire, explosion, or other hazard. • 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 operate the device outside of the temperature ranges specified in the printed manual in the product packaging. • Contact your local waste disposal department to dispose of the device/battery in accordance with applicable local laws and regulations. Additional User-Replaceable Battery Warnings: • Do not use a sharp object to remove the battery. • Keep the battery away from children. • Never put batteries in mouth. If swallowed, contact a physician or poison control center. • Do not disassemble, puncture, or damage the battery. • If using an external battery charger, only use the Garmin accessory approved for your product. • Only replace the battery with the correct replacement battery. Using another battery presents a risk of fire or explosion. To purchase a replacement battery, see your Garmin dealer or the Garmin Web site. • Replaceable coin cell batteries may contain perchlorate material. Special handling may apply. See www.dtsc .ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate. Additional Non-User-Replaceable Battery Warning: Do not remove or attempt to remove the non-user-replaceable battery. 2
