Garmin Edge 530 display goies to sleep after 15 seconds

Former Member over 4 years ago

After the recent software upgrade 6.2 my Edge 530 display goes to sleep after 15 seconds even though the auto sleep in auto features is turned off. I cannot find any way to keep the display on permanently.

OK, it is working as intended then. Battery save mode is supposed to shut your screen off after several seconds in order to maximize battery life. Turn off battery save mode and the display will be on…

Do you have battery save mode enabled?

Thanks ewarnerusa. Every time my Garmin does an update it returns back to battery save mode. I then spend an age googling trying to remember how to turn off the battery save mode. Starting to think I was better off with the Garmin 520.
