How to get the 'Ding' aterts to turn (1300 LMT)

I bought a Garmin 1300 LMT recently. I have an old Magellan Maestro which gives me a 'ding' alert just before making a turn. I was expecting the same alert from this unit, but it is not there. I am disappointed. Is there a way to turn it on a load it to the unit?

Thanks.

Ding Alerts for Turns

Your 1300 LMT has voice prompts (eg "turn left into "Right Street" in 30 metres") which provides you with sufficient before-hand-notice to make the proper turn. Often you are then able to read the street sign and confirm your direction. Isn't that a much better way to be informed of a turn?

ding alerts

in the settings in garmin you can activate attention alerts option.
then it makes a ding before speaking
