Can I turn off the green flashing light on the back of the Fitbit Charge 6? i don't wear it to bed, and it flashes every couple of seconds. thanks

The light of sensor turns off automatically when is not on wrist. Just put tracker down on screen so the sensor faces ceiling.

Ok thank you. I'll see if that works.

@Triletics Thanks for your help!

@gotheraider Welcome to the forums. The default setting for the heart rate measurement is "automatic". You are able to turn it off though. Manage basic settings in the Settings app . Swipe down from the clock screen and tap the Settings app to open it. Tap a setting to adjust it. Swipe to see the full list of settings. This is how you can manage the heart rate measurement.

Thanks RodrigoMFirbit - yes, turning off the heart rate feature did stop the green light flashing, when not wearing on my wrist. A bit disappointing to have to do this with the new FB Charge 6 though!
