_freak_ Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 Hi all you clever people, why would my HR do this on my Edge810? The Pemium belt is clean and I replaced the battery...Is the belt faulty?
fanievb Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 there was another thread recently where someone said to put the battery in upside down, and keep it in for 10 seconds. remove and replace the battery the right way round. This resets the unit.if this fails, replace the belt, I use polar wearlink with my garmin HR monitor, they are cheaper and better than the garmin belts.
_freak_ Posted January 22, 2018 Author Posted January 22, 2018 ThanksIll give it a try, was always working fine, then i thought its the battery, but still doing the same after replacing it...
fanievb Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 ThanksIll give it a try, was always working fine, then i thought its the battery, but still doing the same after replacing it... had the same issue. turned out to be the belt in my case, but try the reset business first
Halfdoesyn Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 You should go see a doctor. Seriously though, it looks like some intermittent contact, either the belt or the unit. Did it work well before?
_freak_ Posted January 22, 2018 Author Posted January 22, 2018 work 100started getting faulse readings(too low hr) so i repladec the battery, now its jumps like this...
Spinnekop Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 What no one tells you in the life manual is that you have to replace the belt almost every year. Been there, washed and reset many a belt. Polar is the cheapest. Just replace the belt part. Good luck.

Paul Ruinaard Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 So does a Polar wearlink belt work with the Garmin - i have an 820 ? I also have issues with the Garmin belts and they are not cheap. What's the recommendation? Would a Wahoo belt work better....?
gogo@ Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 work 100started getting faulse readings(too low hr) so i repladec the battery, now its jumps like this...I had what looks like the same problem as you - also replaced battery then everything went truly haywire. Posted on another thread and got brilliant advice to reset the HR unit by putting the battery in upside down with the back cap on (to make contact so it “shorts”?!?). Leave it like that for 10 seconds before replacing right way round. Seems to have worked for me. I tried absolutely everything before this and was literally on the point of chucking it. Hope you come right!

Seems to be a common hack to use the polar strap, which also seems more reliable.

Don't purchase a whole belt from Polar?

scotty Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 I still have my belt from my 705 which I replaced about 5 years ago with an 800. Only changed the batteries.
Dexter-morgan Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 Get the Polar belt, it is much cheaper and works, mine is about 3 years now still have not missed a beat,

I'm currently using this one https://www.sportsmanswarehouse.co.za/product/polar-pro-chest-strap-1 just trim the edges on the contact points to make sure your garmin unit fits snugly
