Pacemakers and Other Medical
Devices
Studies have shown that there may be a
potential interaction between mobile devices
and normal pacemaker operation. The
pacemaker industry recommends that people
with pacemakers follow these guidelines
to minimize any risk of interference with
pacemaker operation:
• Always maintain a distance of 6 inches
(15 cm) between the pacemaker and any
mobile device that is turned on.
• Store the device on the opposite side of the
pacemaker. Do not carry the device in a
breast pocket.
• Use the ear furthest from the pacemaker
in order to minimize any potential for
interference.
• I f you think that interference may be
occurring, tum off the device immediately.
For other medical devices, consult with your
physician or the manufacturer to determine
if your mobile device may interfere with
the medical device, and to determine any
precautions that you can take to avoid
interference.
Avoid Hearing Damage
You can permanently damage your ears and
lose hearing if you listen to the receiver,
earbuds, headphones, or headsets at high
volume. Tum the volume down. The volume
is typically too loud if you cannot hear people
speaking around you. Limit the amount of time
you listen at high volume. If you experience
ringing in your ears or muffled speech, stop
listening and have your hearing checked.
Avoid Repetitive Motion
You may experience occasional discomfort
in your hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other
parts of your body if you perform repetitive
activities, such as typing or playing games, on
the mobile device. Take frequent breaks. [fyou
have discomfort while or after using the device,
stop using it and see a physician.

Radio Frequency Exposure
This device is a mobile transmitter and receiver
that uses its antenna to send and receive low
levels of radio frequency (RF) energy for
voice and data communications. The antenna
is located along the top of the device, on the
opposite side of the Power key.
Regular review of scientific research and
studies has led to the formation of international
safety guidelines and regulations regarding
limiting exposure to this RF energy. This
mobile product emits RF energy below
the published limits when operating in its
maximum output power mode and when used
with Garmin authorized accessories. In normal
operation, the mobile device will operate at
even lower output power modes, depending on
many factors including proximity to network
cellular towers and the absence of external
interference.
To comply with FCC RF exposure compliance
requirements, the device should be used in
its automobile mount or as a handheld device
only. The device should not be used in other
configurations.
