The safety and tracking features are supplemental features and should not be relied on as a primary method to
obtain emergency assistance. The Garmin Connect app does not contact emergency services on your behalf.
To use the safety and tracking features, the Forerunner watch must be connected to the Garmin Connect app
using Bluetooth technology. Your paired phone must be equipped with a data plan and be in an area of network
coverage where data is available. You can enter emergency contacts in your Garmin Connect account.
For more information about safety and tracking features, go to www.garmin.com/safety.
Assistance: Allows you to send a message with your name, LiveTrack link, and GPS location (if available) to
your emergency contacts.
Incident Detection: When the Forerunner watch detects an incident during certain outdoor activities, the watch
sends an automated message, LiveTrack link, and GPS location (if available) to your emergency contacts.
