Garmin 405 Caring for the, Forerunner, Water Immersion

Introduction

Caring for the

Forerunner

Clean the Forerunner and the heart rate monitor using a cloth dampened with a mild detergent solution. Wipe dry. Avoid chemical cleaners and solvents that may damage plastic components.

Do not store the Forerunner 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 history, locations, and tracks, is retained indefinitely in the memory of the unit without the need for external power. Back up important user data by transferring it to Garmin Connect or Garmin Training Center. See page 9.

Water Immersion

The Forerunner is waterproof to IEC Standard 60529 IPX7. It can withstand immersion in 1 meter of water for 30 minutes. Prolonged submersion can cause damage to the unit. After submersion, be certain to wipe dry and air dry the unit before using or charging.

Caution: The Forerunner is not intended to be used while swimming. Swimming or prolonged water submersion can cause a short in the

unit, which can in rare cases result in a minor skin burn or irritation in the area of the unit.
