Is there anyway to stop Edge 1040 from searching for sensors all the time?

Is there anyway to stop the 1040 from constantly searching for sensors after a ride?  Every time I try to review my data on the 1040 after riding, it is constantly interrupting saying it is searching for this or that sensor.  I can't find any 'master switch' to turn off all searching, and I don't really want to go in and turn off each sensor individually every time i turn the unit on to look at something.  If anyone has had any luck with this, I'd love to hear about it!

    Sure. Go to sensors, tap on the ones you want to turn off.  Tap on the toggle, and it will be off.  Tap again and it will be on

    I have this problem only with the Tempe sensor. If it is enabled, it beeps all the time „sensor reconnected“. I have turned it off.
    All other sensors result in no beep as long they are not woken up.

    Hmm.  Interesting -- I'll have to pay attention to that.  I think it may be my Varia radar light that is beeping, but a bunch of them keep trying to connect when my bike is still near, but after a ride.  I'm surprised Garmin hasn't just added a 'stop search' feature for when you want to work with the head unit, but aren't going for a ride.  It seems like an easy software addition (says a non-programmer.)

    Yes, that‘s true. After a ride the sensors are still active for some minutes. (Tempe sensor stays active all the time…)

    Thanks for this observation on the Tempe. I don't know if the paired Tempe is my sensor reconnecting problem but I'm disabling it to see if that solves my sensors reconnecting problem. I'll post a comment in a few days if that is a solution.
