Alerts
You can set alerts for each activity, which can help you to train
toward specific goals. Some alerts are available only for specific
activities. Some alerts require optional accessories, such as a
heart rate monitor or cadence sensor. 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 burn a specified number of calories.
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.
