Garmin 190-01674-00_0B Manual De Propietario

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.
