How Do I Use the Music Controls on an Edge 540?
Edge® 540 and Edge® 540 Solar cycling computers feature a widget or data screen that allows you to control the music on a paired smartphone. Available features include play, pause, skip to the next or previous track, and volume. This will control the last used media player on your paired smartphone. For Edge compatibility, refer to your owner's manual.
