The LED indicators provide a quick way to see if you’re on pace with important performance metrics like speed, heart rate, and power.
LEDs and sounds can be customized in the ELEMNT companion app Settings tab > LEDs & Sound as shown below.
Side LEDs*
Can be set to indicate speed, power or Heart Rate (HR).
-
- Speed setting: The middle LED is your current average performance, LEDs rise above center (to the right on BOLT) during periods of higher than average performance and drop below (left on BOLT) during less than average performance.
- Power or Heart Rate settings: LEDs are based on the current zone, as set in ELEMNT app.
Because ELEMNT BOLTs do not possess side LEDs, side LED functionality is combined into the BOLT's top LED display.
