Safety and Tracking Features

CAUTION

The safety and tracking features are supplemental features and should not be relied on as a primary method to obtain emergency assistance. The Garmin Jr.™ app does not contact emergency services on your behalf.

CAUTION

The safety and tracking features require an LTE Subscription and must be set up using the Garmin Jr. app. For subscription information, go to garmin.com/subscriptions.

CAUTION

The Bounce™ watch has safety and tracking features that require a phone paired with the Garmin Jr. app. Guardians and caregivers in your Garmin Jr. family are notified when your child requests assistance. You can manage Garmin Jr. family members in the Garmin Jr. app.

For more information about safety and tracking features, go to www.garmin.com/safety.
