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.
