control the bike alarm from your device or the device settings in the Garmin Connect app.

2 Create or update your passcode.
When you disable the bike alarm from your Edge device, you are prompted to enter the passcode.
3 Swipe 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 smartphone.

Playing Audio Prompts on Your Smartphone

Before you can set up audio prompts, you must have a smartphone with the Garmin Connect app paired to your
Edge device.
You can set the Garmin Connect app to play motivational status announcements on your smartphone 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 smartphone to
play the announcement. You can customize the volume levels on the Garmin Connect app.

2 Select Garmin Devices.
