Turning On Live Event Sharing
Before you can use live event sharing, you must set up the LiveTrack feature in the Garmin Connect app.
NOTE: LiveTrack features are available when your device is connected to the Garmin Connect app using
Bluetooth technology, with a compatible Android phone.

2In the Garmin Connect app, from the settings menu, select Safety & Tracking > Live Event Sharing.
3Select Devices, and select your Edge bike computer.
4Select the toggle switch to enable Live Event Sharing.
5Select Done.
6Select Recipients to add people from your contacts.
7Select Message Options to customize the message triggers and options.

Live event sharing is enabled for 24 hours.
Spectator Messaging
NOTE: Your paired phone must be equipped with a data plan and be in an area of network coverage where data
is available.
Spectator messaging is a feature that allows your LiveTrack followers to send you text messages during your
cycling activity. You can set up this feature in the LiveTrack settings of the Garmin Connect app.
Blocking Spectator Messages
If you want to block spectator messages, Garmin recommends turning them off before you start the activity.
Select > Safety & Tracking > LiveTrack > Spectator Messaging.
Setting the Bike Alarm
You can turn on the bike alarm when you are away from your bike, such as on a stop during a long ride. You can
control the bike alarm from your device or the device settings in the Garmin Connect app.
1Select > Safety & Tracking > Bike Alarm.
2Create or update your passcode.
When you disable the bike alarm from your Edge device, you are prompted to enter the passcode.
3Swipe down from the top of the screen, and on the controls widget, select Set Bike Alarm.
If the device detects motion, it sounds an alarm and sends an alert to your connected phone.
Playing Audio Prompts on Your Phone
Before you can set up audio prompts, you must have a phone with the Garmin Connect app paired to your Edge
device.
You can set the Garmin Connect app to play motivational status announcements on your phone during a ride or
other activity. Audio prompts include the lap number and lap time, navigation, power, pace or speed, and heart
rate data. During an audio prompt, the Garmin Connect app mutes the primary audio of the phone to play the
announcement. You can customize the volume levels on the Garmin Connect app.
