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 can be 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-userreplaceable battery.
• Do not expose the device or batteries to fire,
explosion, or other hazard.
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®.
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.
