Alerts

You can set alerts for each activity, which can help you to train

toward specific goals, to increase your awareness of your

environment, and to navigate to your destination. Some alerts

are available only for specific activities. There are three types of

alerts: event alerts, range alerts, and recurring alerts.

Event alert: An event alert notifies you once. The event is a

specific value. For example, you can set the device to alert

you when you reach a specified distance.

Range alert: A range alert notifies you each time the device is

above or below a specified range of values. For example, you

can set the device to alert you when your heart rate is below

60 beats per minute (bpm) and over 210 bpm.

Recurring alert: A recurring alert notifies you each time the

device records a specified value or interval. For example, you

can set the device to alert you every 30 minutes.
