Is it possible to turn light OFF and have radar ONLY

Pretty much as the title says -- Is it possible to turn light OFF and have radar ONLY?

I checked the manual and searched the forum, but did not find anything about this.

Reason for asking: light unneeded, so don't want to use battery needlessly for that.

Not true.
Settings -> Sensor -> Lights -> Network Options -> Light Mode -> Individual
Settings -> Sensor -> Lights -> Radar -> Light Mode -> Off
That's all.

Yes it is when paired with the Edge 1000 or 520. You need to set the light network to "individual" then you can switch the light off.

No where... Garmin's documentation is among the worse. They expect end users to figure out how things work...

I would like to do that also with my edge 810 :-/

Currently you cannot do it on the 810 as it does not have light network support yet.

Is that the second phase of the firmware update you mentioned last month?

Is it really realistic to believe they will ever have light network support?

Why not? They have just added radar support, which is also a component in the light network so some of the work has already been done.

I believe that Garmin did make statement that they planned to do it.
