Safety and Product Information guide in the product box for
product warnings and other important information.
You can reset the device if it stops responding.
Hold the device key for 8 seconds until all the LEDs turn off.

NOTICE
To prevent corrosion, thoroughly dry the USB port, the weather
cap, and the surrounding area before charging or connecting to
a computer.
Thermal Safety Shutdown
NOTE: The device does not charge when outside the approved
temperature range (Specifications, page 3).
1 Pull up the weather cap from the USB port.
To prevent overheating, the Varia device may turn off when
operated at a high intensity in warm, stagnant air. The status
LED is red until the device cools down. You should use the
device outdoors.
Low Temperature Battery Conservation
To extend the battery life of the device, the Varia device is
limited to medium, low, and flash modes when used in very cold
temperatures.
Product Updates
On your computer, install Garmin Express™ (www.garmin.com
/express).
This provides easy access to these services for Garmin devices:
• Software updates
• Product registration
2 Plug the small end of the USB cable into the USB port on the
device.
3 Plug the large end of the USB cable into a power source,
such as a USB wall charger or a computer USB port.
4 Charge the device completely.
The status LED flashes green while charging. The status LED is
solid green when charging is complete.
Tips for Charging the Device
• Connect the charger securely to the device.
You can charge the device by plugging the USB cable into a
Garmin approved AC adapter with a standard wall outlet or a
USB port on your computer. Charging a fully depleted battery
takes about 6 hours using a computer and 4 hours using an
AC power source.
• Remove the charger from the device when the status LED is
solid green.
• View the remaining battery life
on your Edge device
connections screen (Viewing the Connections Screen,
page 2).
