Change History

Changes made from version 7.10 to 7.40:

Fix for 'No HR Data' failure when downloading stored heart rate after a swim activity (or other activity where your watch is out of range).

Installation Instructions

Connect your Garmin watch to your computer using the USB cable. Note: Some watches such as the Garmin Swim 2, the Forerunner 945 LTE, and other older watches do not support this update.
Download and unzip HRM-Pro_740Beta.zip. Place the 6B330003.GCD file in the \GARMIN\RemoteSW folder of your device's internal storage drive.
Put on the HRM-Pro.
Disconnect your watch from the computer.
Navigate to your sensor (Menu->Sensors & Accessories->HR - HRM-Pro:xxxxxx).
If the status isn't already shown as 'Connected', select 'Connect'.
Scroll down and select 'Software Update 7.40'.
Approve the update on the watch and wait for the update to finish. Note: Ensure the watch and HRM-Pro are within range of one another throughout the update. The HRM-Pro will not go to sleep during the update, so you can remove it and place it next to the watch.

it seems to work for me using the Fenix 5. I did only a 5 min workout without the watch and it seems to download the heart rate. I will do a longer check if it still works

I'm trying to do the update from a Fenix 6X Pro. I followed the steps but I'm not seeing "Scroll down and select 'Software Update 7.40'." anywhere. I reconnected the watch to the computer and verified the 6B330003.GCD file is still in the RemoteSW folder. Any ideas?

I just tried from my Edge 830 and it just shows No Update Available even though the gcd file is in the \GARMIN\RemoteSW folder.

Same issue no update with either Fenix 6 Sapphire nor 830.

Have you double checked that the software update has completed properly (viewed through the sensor and accessories menu on the watch or in Garmin Connect Mobile)? The 7.40 is working for me with my HRM Pro, but I had done the 'battery out for 5 minutes' temporary fix about 3 weeks ago. Once the software version is double checked, you can easily do quick function/confidence tests by starting a swim activity whilst wearing the HRM Pro, put the watch in your refrigerator for a couple of minutes with the activity running (the metal case of the refrigerator blocks the ANT signal) , then take the watch out of the refrigerator and stop+save the activity; at which point you can see if the download HR is working.

If you're still having trouble after that, you're best bet would be to email your findings to the [email protected] address detailed in the first post on this thread, so they can follow up as necessary.

Thanks! This worked for me on my Edge 830.

In Garmin connect and on the watch it reports that the HRM Pro is running v7.4 of the Firmware.

I guess I could remove the battery again and then test as you suggest by putting the watch in the fridge and doing a few laps of the garden.

I did email the [email protected] this morning and included some screenshots
