About the AMOLED Display
By default, the watch settings are optimized for battery life and performance.
Image persistence, or pixel “burn-in,” is normal behavior for AMOLED devices. To extend the display life, you should avoid displaying static images at high brightness levels for long time periods.

To minimize burn-in, the MARQ Carbon display turns off after the selected timeout. You can turn your wrist toward your body, tap the touchscreen, or press a button to wake the device.

Wearing the Watch

CAUTION
Some users may experience skin irritation after prolonged use of the watch, especially if the user has sensitive skin or allergies. If you notice any skin irritation, remove the watch and give your skin time to heal. To help prevent skin irritation, ensure the watch is clean and dry, and do not overtighten the watch on your wrist. For more information, go to Garmin.com/fitandcare.

  • Wear the watch above your wrist bone.

NOTE: The watch should be snug but comfortable. For more accurate heart rate readings, the watch should not shift while running or exercising. For pulse oximeter readings, you should remain motionless.

NOTE: The optical sensor is located on the back of the watch.

  • Do not expose the device or batteries to fire, explosion, or other hazard.
  • Do not disassemble, modify, remanufacture, puncture or damage the device or batteries.
  • Do not remove or attempt to remove the non-user replaceable battery.

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.

Safety and Tracking Warning
The assistance feature allows you to send your location to an emergency contact. This is a supplemental feature and should not be relied upon as a primary method to obtain emergency assistance. The Garmin Connect app does not contact emergency services on your behalf. The incident detection feature is only available while you are tracking certain outdoor activities on your Garmin device. For more information, see the device owner’s manual.

Bicycle Warnings

  • Always use your best judgement, and operate the bicycle in a safe manner.

  • Use this device only as a navigational aid. Do not attempt to use the device for any purpose requiring precise measurement of direction, distance, location, or topography.

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.
