Playing Audio Prompts on Your Smartphone During Your Activity

Before you can set up audio prompts, you must have a smartphone with the Garmin Connect app paired to your
fēnix device.
You can set the Garmin Connect app to play motivational status announcements on your smartphone during
a run or other activity. Audio prompts include the lap number and lap time, 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.
NOTE: The Lap Alert audio prompt is enabled by default.
