Playing Audio Prompts on Your Smartphone During Your
Activity

have a smartphone with the Garmin Connect app
paired to your Forerunner 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: If you have a Forerunner 245 Music device,
you can enable audio prompts on the device through
your connected headphones, without using a
connected smartphone (
