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. Distraction Warning Use caution when using the device while operating a vehicle. Avoid becoming distracted by the display, which could lead to an accident causing serious personal injury or death. Only access the information displayed on the device with a glance. Always maintain awareness of your surroundings and do not stare at the display or become distracted by the display. Focusing on the display could prevent you from avoiding obstacles or hazards. Marine Warnings If your device provides tide information, this feature is for informational purposes only. It is the user's responsibility to heed all posted tide or water related guidance, to remain aware of your surroundings, and to use safe judgment around the water at all times. Failure to heed this warning could result in property damage, serious personal injury, or death. If your device includes the anchor feature, you should use it as a tool for situational awareness only, as it may not prevent groundings or collisions in all circumstances. You are responsible for safe and prudent operation of your vessel, for remaining aware of your surroundings, and for using safe judgment on the water at all times. Failure to heed this warning could result in property damage, serious personal injury, or death. 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 expose the device or batteries to fire, explosion, or other hazard. • Do not disassemble, modify, remanufacture, puncture, or damage the device or batteries. • Do not remove or attempt to remove the non-user- replaceable battery. Device Warnings • To avoid possible device damage, 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. • Do not operate or store the device for an extended time period outside of the applicable temperature range listed in the printed manual in the product packaging. • Do not use a power cable, data cable, and/or power adapter that is not supplied by Garmin® or is not properly certified. Health Warnings • If you have a pacemaker or other internal electronic device, consult your physician before using a heart rate monitor. • The optical wrist heart rate monitor and pulse oximeter emit lights 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 device, accessories, heart rate monitor, pulse oximeter, and related data are intended to be used only for recreational purposes, not 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 optical wrist heart rate monitor and pulse oximeter technologies typically provide accurate estimates of a user's heart rate and blood oxygen saturation respectively, there are inherent limitations with the technologies that may cause some of the readings to be inaccurate under certain circumstances, including the user's physical characteristics, device fit and position, and type and intensity of activity. • Activity trackers rely on sensors that track your movement and other metrics. The data provided by these devices is intended to be a close estimation of your activity and metrics tracked, but may not be completely accurate. 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 during certain outdoor activities. 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.
