External Heart rate monitor

lucky1976 over 1 year ago

I am having to replace the battery in the Polar H10 every 2 months or so with only 6-8 hrs a week of sport activities.

I think it is continuously running in the background when not worn. If the monitor is off and hanging in the garage and I looking at Sensor & Accessories I see that it is connected.
If I try to do a health snapshot with the hrm in the garage it picks it up and gives a 0 heart rate.

I have started to disconnecting it after each use.

Anyone else hav ethos issue?

I do not have that issue, but every time I take my Polar H10 off, I unsnap one of the connectors on the HRM so that it is impossible for it to start up.

Maybe you could try that?

Going into the sensors menu will cause it to reconnect. Outside of that an an activity it will not be connected

I do the same thing after each use. The manual also recommends doing the same.

Remove H10 sensor from strap. It doesn't turn off as long as it is connected to strap. You also have to dry and clean sensor after every workout or soon you do not have working sensor. Also you have to rinse strap after every use and put it into washing machine after some 7 uses.
