HRM 600 - Keeps HR reading even the strap removed

Hi there,

I just got HRM 600 few days ago. Tried it to record activity using Garmin Connect. However after the strap removed from my chest, HRM 600 always read HR data and syncing to Garmin Connect. I think it stop reading after module goes to sleep

On next day, I tried to turn on the module without attaching it to the strap and chest. Tried to record activity (dummy), it show HR data and syncing it to Connect.

Is this normal behavior? or I got faulty device?

Thank you
