Saw a post regarding solar panel readouts that require test mode but no mention of how to enter that mode?

I have an epix Gen 2. I assume it would be the same as the fenix 7 series watches

Power off the device
Press and hold the down button
Keep holding the down button while pressing the power/light button
When you see the Garmin Fenix logo, release the power button
Keep holding the down button until you see the diagnostic screen
You can cycle through the various screens using the back button
To get out of the diagnostic menu press and hold the power button until the unit powers off
Press the power button to turn the unit on and into normal operating mode

Thanks honza_81!

I see start turns the motor test off/on. Down button turns OHR Mode off/on. Edited my post with corrected information.

You're welcome. I just know that, because I tried that today in the morning, when I saw ECG in Venu 2 service menu. But in my F7 there wasn't any :-). I'd like to know, if the ECG was also in F7 with early firmware or only on new Venu 2.
