Introduction
FORERUNNER AND WRIST STRAP CLEANING
The Forerunner 201 is constructed of high quality materials and does not require user
maintenance other than cleaning. Clean the unit using a cloth dampened with a mild
detergent solution and then wipe dry. Avoid chemical cleaners and solvents that may damage
plastic components. The wrist strap should be hand washed with mild detergent in warm or
hot water. Blot dry then air dry. Do not machine wash.
STORAGE
Do not store the Forerunner 201 where prolonged exposure to temperature extremes may
occur (such as in the trunk of a car) as permanent damage may result. User information, such
as locations, tracks, and workout history is retained indefi nitely in the units memory without
the need for external power. It is always a good practice to back up important user data by
manually recording it or downloading it to a PC. Free software is available for Forerunner
201 owner’s. Please refer to our web site on how to download the “Forerunner Logbook”
software at: http://www.garmin.com/products/forerunner201.
WATER IMMERSION
The Forerunner 201 is waterproof to IEC Standard 60529 IPX7. It can withstand immer-
sion in 1 meter of water for 30 minutes. Prolonged submersion can cause damage to the unit.
After submersion, be certain to wipe and air dry the unit before reuse or charging.
