Edge 530 tells me "SPD-0482965 found" every minute or so?

This bike speed sensor is installed with software v. 2.3, according to Connect. The 530 says it recognizes the sensor. However, a top banner pops up about at times (30s to 2min intervals) while riding, with the message "SPD-0482965 found". Why is the device telling me this? Speed is indeed displayed realistically, but it could be calculated from the GPS position alone and I wouldn't know the difference. 

I wonder if this is connected with another issue: From time to time I get a message on the display that there is an update available that will take about 5 minutes to install. I proceed with it (in wifi range), a little progress timer starts spinning and counts up to a certain point - it got as far as 17 today - and then it hangs and terminates with a Connection lost message. I have never seen this process complete in a tidy manner, but the device tells me the software version is 9.75, which seems to be the latest. Mystery.  

These are not serious issues - everything seems to work OK - but I wonder if my device and sensor software are really up-to-date.

  • Firmware 9.75 is current, but there are occasional updates of the Timezone map, GPSdata, sensors and CIQ apps.

    I’d suggest connecting to Garmin Express to perform any updates as I’ve found that way to be faster and more reliable.

    A new speed sensor battery might also help.
