Alerts
You can set the device to alert you in many different situations
where your awareness of the surrounding conditions or other
data is important. 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 any 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 bpm (beats per minute) and over 210 bpm.
Recurring alert : A recurring alert notifies you every time the
device records a specified value or interval. For example,
you can set the device to alert you every 30 minutes.
