Playing Audio Prompts During Your Activity

Before you can set up audio prompts, you must have a phone with the Garmin Connect™ app paired to your Forerunner® watch.

You can set the Garmin Connect app to play motivational status announcements and training alerts on your phone during a run or other activity. During an audio prompt, the Garmin Connect app mutes the primary audio of the phone to play the announcement. You can customize the volume levels on the Garmin Connect app.

  1. From the Garmin Connect app, select Menu symbol > Garmin Devices.
  2. Select your device.
  3. Select Activity Options > Audio Prompts.
  4. Select an option.
