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.
Navigation Warnings
If your Garmin device uses or accepts map data, follow these guidelines to
ensure safe navigating.
- Always carefully compare information displayed on the device to all available navigation sources, including information from visual sightings, local waterway rules and restrictions, and maps. For safety, always resolve any discrepancies or questions before continuing navigation, and defer to posted signs and conditions.
- 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.
