accident or medical event resulting in death or serious injury.
Health Warnings
• If you have a pacemaker or other internal electronic device,
consult your physician before using a heart rate monitor.
• Always consult your physician before beginning or modifying
any exercise program.
• The Garmin
®
device, heart rate monitor, and other
accessories are consumer devices, not medical devices, and
are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any
disease. The device and accessories 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.
• Garmin activity trackers rely on sensors that track your

activity trackers is an estimation of your activity, but may not
be completely accurate, which may include step, sleep,
distance, and calorie data.
Battery Warnings
If your device is rechargeable, it uses a lithium-ion battery. If
your device is not rechargeable, it uses a coin cell battery.
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.
• Do not immerse or expose the device or batteries to water or
other liquids, fire, explosion, or other hazard.
• Do not place in high temperature environments, such as a
clothes dryer.
• Do not use a sharp object to remove the removable
batteries.
• KEEP BATTERIES AWAY FROM CHILDREN.
• NEVER PUT BATTERIES IN MOUTH. Swallowing can lead
to chemical burns, perforation of soft tissue, and death.
Severe burns can occur within 2 hours of ingestion. Seek
medical attention immediately.
