Profiles

The Edge has several ways for you to customize the device,

including profiles. Profiles are a collection of settings that

optimize your device based on how you are using it. For

example, you can create different settings and views for training

and mountain biking.

When you are using a profile and you change settings such as

data fields or units of measurement, the changes are saved

automatically as part of the profile.

Activity Profiles: You can create activity profiles for each type

of biking. For example, you can create a separate activity

profile for training, for racing, and for mountain biking. The

activity profile includes customized data pages, activity totals,

alerts, training zones (such as heart rate and speed), training

settings (such as Auto Pause

and Auto Lap

), and navigation

settings.

User Profile: You can update your gender, age, weight, and

height settings. The device uses this information to calculate

accurate ride data.
