Important Safety and Product Information
WARNING
Failure to avoid the following potentially hazardous situations could result in an
accident or collision resulting 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.
Off-Road Navigation Warnings
If your Garmin device is able to suggest off-road routes for various outdoor
activities, such as biking, hiking, and all-terrain vehicles, follow these guidelines
to ensure safe off-road navigation.
• Always use your best judgment and exercise common sense when making
off-road navigational decisions. The Garmin device is designed to provide
route suggestions only. It is not a replacement for attentiveness and proper
preparation for outdoor activities. Do not follow the route suggestions if they
suggest an illegal course or would put you in an unsafe situation.
• Always carefully compare information displayed on the device to all available
navigation sources, including trail signs, trail conditions, weather conditions,
and other factors that may affect safety while navigating. For safety, always
resolve any discrepancies before continuing navigation, and defer to posted
signs and conditions.
• Always be mindful of the effects of the environment and the inherent risks of
the activity before embarking on off-road activities, especially the impact that
weather and weather-related trail conditions can have on the safety of your
activity. Ensure that you have the proper gear and supplies for your activity
before navigating along unfamiliar paths and trails.
Battery Warnings
A lithium-ion battery can be used in this device. Coin cell batteries can be used
in the accessory.
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 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 disassemble, modify, remanufacture, puncture or damage the device
or batteries.
