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 Athlete
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.sg/

Important Safety and Product
Information
WARNING
Failure to heed the following warnings could result
in an accident or medical event resulting in death or
serious injury.
Battery Warnings
A lithium-ion battery can be used in this device.
If these guidelines are not followed, batteries may
experience a shortened life span or may present a
risk of damage to the device, fire, chemical burn,
electrolyte leak, and/or injury.
yDo not expose the device or batteries to fire,
explosion, or other hazard.
yDo not disassemble, modify, remanufacture,
puncture or damage the device or batteries.
yDo not remove or attempt to remove the non-
user replaceable battery.
Device Warnings
yDo 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.
yDo not operate the device outside of the
temperature ranges specified in the printed
manual in the product packaging.
yWhen storing the device for an extended time
period, store within the temperature ranges
specified in the printed manual in the product
packaging.
yDo not use a power cable, data cable and/or
power adapter that is not approved or supplied
by Garmin.
Health Warnings
yIf you have a pacemaker or other internal
electronic device, consult your physician before
using a heart rate monitor.
yThe 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.
yAlways consult your physician before beginning
or modifying any exercise program.
yThe 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.
yThe heart rate and blood oxygen saturation
readings are for reference only, and no
responsibility is accepted for the consequences
of any erroneous readings.
yWhile 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
MARQ (Gen 2) Athlete 13
EN
to be inaccurate under certain circumstances,
including the user’s physical characteristics, fit
of the device, and type and intensity of activity.
yWhile 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.
yGarmin 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
yAlways use your best judgement, and operate
the bicycle in a safe manner.
yMake sure your bicycle and hardware are
properly maintained and that all parts are
correctly installed.
Navigation Warnings
If your Garmin device uses or accepts map data,
follow these guidelines to ensure safe navigating.

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.
yUse 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.
yAlways 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
14 MARQ (Gen 2) Athlete
EN
the route suggestions if they suggest an illegal
course or would put you in an unsafe situation.
yAlways 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.
yAlways 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.
Magnet Warning
Both the device and its charger may contain
magnets. Under certain circumstances, magnets
may cause interference with some medical devices,
including pacemakers and insulin pumps. Devices
and chargers that contain magnets should be kept
away from such medical devices.
CAUTION
Failure to heed the following cautions could result in
minor or moderate injury, or property damage.
Skin Irritation
Some users may experience skin irritation after
prolonged use of the device, especially if the user
has sensitive skin or allergies. If you notice any skin
irritation, remove the device and give your skin time
to heal. To help prevent skin irritation, ensure the
device is clean and dry, and do not overtighten the
device on your wrist. For more information, go to
Garmin.com.sg/legal/fit-and-care.
NOTICE
Failure to heed the following notice could result in
personal or property damage, or negatively impact
the device functionality.
Battery Notices
yContact your local waste disposal department
to dispose of the device/batteries in accordance
with applicable local laws and regulations.
GPS Notice
The navigation device may experience degraded
performance if you use it in proximity to any
device that uses a terrestrial broadband network
operating close to the frequencies used by any
Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), such as
the Global Positioning Service (GPS). Use of such
devices may impair reception of GNSS signals.
