Is there an aeroplane mode on viviactive 4

Former Member over 4 years ago

I was just wondering if there was anyway to get an aeroplane mode on the vivoactive 4.
i don’t want it just for flight ha but also to minimise radiation exposure.

There is no Airplane mode, the device is leaking radiation 24/7. There is a reason there is no "airplane mode" and it took me weeks of email correspondence just for a garmin clerk to admit it: There is no off switch for radiation exposure on this device!

There is a shortcut called 'phone on /off' it is an icon of a phone with a Bluetooth symbol. If you turn it off its cuts the Bluetooth connection to your phone.

The icon is in the same menu where you find the stopwatch etc

"There is not a setting to schedule the Bluetooth to be turned off at night then automatically be turned back on upon waking up."

Why do you need to schedule it? Just keep it off and turn it on for a minute or two once a day to sync everything

There is no way to schedule the bluetooth radio to turn off... it is always on, listening....
