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.

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 emits green light
and flashes occasionally. Consult your physician if you have
epilepsy or are sensitive to flashing lights.

• Always consult your physician before beginning or modifying
any exercise program.

• The Garmin device, accessories, heart rate monitor, 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 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.

• 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, and calorie data.

NOTICE

Failure to heed the following notice could result in personal or
property damage, or negatively impact the device functionality.
