Issue with HRM-Swim + Bike (absent HRM Tri/Run)

A screwed log and test-positive problem.

With the HRM Swim in the backpack, still wet from the Swim and Aquagym, the OHR on the bike was secondary and the log produced a virtual Z5 ride coming from the HRMSwim in the backpack which, theoretically, should have reported 0HR.

I don't know how to solve this... I can't swim with the TRI because Chlorine will kill it and I can't bike with the Swim because it will kill my chest and dorsal back. Is there a way to exclude the HRM Swim without REMOVING it from the synched sensors?

How do you guys solve this? I shouldn't have sold the HRM Run (in fact I already placed the order again) ... what concerns me is the use of the battery at this point but... meanwhile the RUN arrives... how can i fix it?

PLEASE NOTE: Alti on 346 (48m) ... had to calib again. Usual problem after swimming.... tedious... stupid... nonsensical way to use such a costly watch and GUARANTEED to cause button failures later on.

    exclude the HRM Swim without REMOVING it


    Hi!
    Nothing easier than that:
    Setting ==> Sensors ==> HRM Swim ==> Status ==> turn off
    But don't forget to turn it on befor the next swim!

    Yet there is a FW problem here if the HRM Swim keeps transmitting: the battery drain.
    Thanks Svn... I didn't know you could turn it off... because I never actually had this problem with the F3 (which has no OHR so I used the HRM Run on the bike and Swim in the water).
