Playing Voice Prompts During an Activity

Before you can play voice prompts on your phone, you must have a phone with the Garmin Connect™ app paired to your Edge® bike computer. During a voice prompt, the phone mutes the primary audio to play the announcement.

You can enable the Edge bike computer to play motivational status announcements during a ride or other activity. Voice prompts can play on your device or phone, and include the lap number and lap time, navigation, power, pace or speed, and heart rate data. You can also customize the volume level.

  1. Select Menu symbol > Settings > Sounds.
  2. Use the Voice Prompts slider bar to adjust the volume.
  3. Select Voice Prompts.
  4. Select an option:
    • To choose where to play the voice prompts, select Audio Output.

      NOTE: If you set voice prompts to play on your phone, you must update the dialect through your phone's settings.
