Follow the steps below to configure custom heart rate alerts on your Garmin Instinct:
- Select the GPS button to open the available activities on the Garmin instinct.
- Select an activity that requires heart rate alerts. In this example, I use Run.

- Scroll down (using ABC button), and select (using GPS button) the activity settings (Run Settings for this example).
- In the activity settings, select Alerts.
- Select Add New.
- Select Heart Rate.
- Configure your High Heart Rate Alert. Here you can select a pre-configured heart rate, or select Customize to create your own.
