Setting Your Device Passcode

NOTICE

If you enter your passcode incorrectly three times, the device locks temporarily. After five incorrect attempts, the device locks until you reset your passcode in the Garmin Explore™ app. If you have not paired your device with your phone, the device deletes your data and resets to the factory default settings after five incorrect attempts.

You can set up a device passcode to prevent unauthorized users from using your device.

  1. Select an option:
    • During the initial setup, select Create Passcode when prompted.

    • Select Apps list to open the apps list, and select Settings > System > Passcode > Set Passcode.

  2. Enter a four-digit passcode.
  3. Re-enter the passcode.

By default, you must enter the passcode immediately after you turn on the device or when the screen turns back on. You can set a time interval before a passcode is required using the Require Passcode setting.
