HRM-Pro power management questions

Just got a HRM-Pro to go with my Fenix 6 Pro. I have a few basic questions I cannot find an answer to:

1) Does the sensor only work with my F6 during an activity? When I just connect the sensor after a while it disconnects again if I am not doing an activity. Also when I finish an activity my watch automatically reverts to the WHR sensor and doesn't use the HRM-Pro. Is this normal?

2) How does it manage it's power? How does it know to wake up and connect to my watch? If I don't use it for a week does it remain in standby consuming a small amount of juice?

Thanks

Thanks for your answer. So what happens if the sensor is in the same room and I start an activity when not wearing it? Does the lack of detection on the electrodes mean it doesn't connect? Thanks
