Garmin HRM - Battery Level

Hi,

I have a Garmin HRM (Garmin Premium Heart Rate Monitor) paired to vivoactive3. For some reason, under the sensor/HR tab on the watch, I can't see Battery level of the HRM at all, is this the common feature?

BW,

Fatih,

were you wearing the HRM at that time ?

am not familiar with the vivoa3, but there should be a notice OK or GOOD in the sensor status

others correct me when missing the point

Hi,

Yes I was wearing it. It transmits the HR and I can see it says connected. But under battery info, it doesn’t show anything but a “-“

Cheers,

Fatih

ok, so there is a marker

not even when waiting a bit longer ?

start an activity and have a look in the sensor status while active

Even when I check after 30 to 45 mins into the exercise, it is still a “-“.

you could call Garmin Support and ask them or search the Garmin FAQ

Faith... same is happening to me. Mine is paired with an edge 1030. I want to mention that the cadence and speed sensors paired in the same time are showing the battery level. Did you find a solution? Thanks!

Unfortuantely no, I gave up on that already.

Fatih, thank you! I am keep digging. If i find something, I will post here. But in my opinion it's a heart reate monitor limitation.

Same problem here ... I have two HRMs, both of them model # 7 with SW version 2.10, for both of them the "Battery Status" remains blank ("-") on my Fenix 3 and Edge 530.

IMO, this question is better asked in a vivoactive 3 forum. The Garmin HRM does transmit battery level, but how each device displays the HRM battery level might be different.
