Setting the Bike Alarm on an Edge Cycling Computer

Compatible Edge® cycling computers feature a bike alarm that can be set when you are away from your bike, such as during a stop on a long ride. If the device detects motion when the alarm is armed, it will sound an alarm and send an alert to your connected smartphone. You can control the bike alarm and its settings from your device or the device settings in the Garmin Connect™ app. Select an option below to reveal instructions:
