Instinct solar, HR sensor enabled automatically during workouts

Hi, I've looked for this but found nothing similar, so this is my question. Is there an option for Instinct Solar that allows to enable the cardio HR sensor automatically when an activity /workout is started manually? And that then powers the sensor off at the end of the activity, when I stop it?

My idea is to find a way to tune such a power management, when battery is quite low and I need to workout with no chance to charge it. I am not really interested about HR monitoring all the day long, and at the same time I would like to avoid to manually turn on and off the HR sensor, at every given activity.

Thanks in advance! 

Cheers

    It is not possible to setup your watch OHR sensor to work in the manner you have described.

    You can use the Power Manager - disabling the HRM by default, creating a custom Power Mode with HR enabled, and assigning this power mode to the respective Activity profile, in its settings.

    However, by doing this, you will lose a lot of functionality, and diverse metrics will get messed up. Especially the Resting HR cannot be detected if the HRM is used only during  workouts, and that will mess up a lot of things.

    Well done, thank you trux! It worked like charm. Thank you for your very precise direction. I also appreciate your comment about the side effect of my idea. I am giving it a try, and see if I can stand it.
