Bike alarm

Is it correct you need to stop an activity to turn on the bike alarm?

When I go for a lunch, I want to turn on the bike alarm, but the 1040 tells me to stop the current activity to enable the bike alarm. Version is 16.13.

Is this correct?

Two things. Once it is enabled you can switch it on during an activity, but you do need to have enabled it first. This must be done outside of an activity.

Hi, but there is no alarm sound on the phone such as when falling. There is only a notification that you may not notice.

Has this been solved yet? I still get a response from the garmin that I have to press stop on my activity in order to activate the alarm. This is a feature breaking choice or bug... this did not use to be the case. If this is the intent of the feature, to have to stop your activity then it is a useless feature that will never get used.

In Garmin Connect, select Edge from the list of devices - you will find Live Track and safety - there is also an option for an alarm - you can activate it while the activity is on - you do not need to stop it
