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 elevation.
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.
