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.
