power meter, you can set up range alerts. A range alert notifies

you when the device measurement is above or below a

specified range of values. For example, you can set the device

to alert you when your cadence is below 40 RPM and over

90 RPM. You can also use a training zone (Training Zones,

page 6) for the range alert.

climb or training sprints). During courses, you can use the By

Position option to trigger laps at all of the lap positions saved in

the course.
