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 beats per minute (bpm) 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.
