1 In Auto Brightness mode, the Edge 1050 display backlight will automatically adjust its brightness based on ambient light conditions, and battery life is impacted accordingly. The battery life estimates are based on average riding conditions. Note that in Manual Brightness mode, higher backlight brightness settings will decrease battery life.

2 Each course is unique regarding the number and type of alerts generated. The number of alerts generated by the course will impact battery life. Courses that generate a large number or frequent alerts will consume more battery life than courses with fewer turns or alerts.

3 The usage of a Garmin Varia Rearview Radar with your Edge device may result in an additional reduction in battery life. This potential, additional reduction in battery life will vary depending upon traffic conditions and the number of vehicles in the vicinity of the radar device during operation.
