Turning off heartrate

[jd1989]

Is there a way to turn off the hearrate when I don't need it? I've noticed on previous devices that it eats the battery much faster if I use during times I'm not exercising.

Hi @jd1989  Good question! Its a bit hard to find! On the Inspire HR from the clock screen, swipe down and you will get exercise, keep swiping down past relax, timers and alarms to SETTINGS. Tap settings and the second item on the list is Heart Rate. though apparently even though you have the HR turned off, the green lights still flicker so I dont know if it would save much battery

I actually want to turn this off. I found it in the settings, but on the back of the inspire HR device the green light still keeps running. So I get the feeling that it's not really off, it just stops posting the readings to BPM screen on device and logs. Is this a known feature or problem? I searched for this and I only found this post. 

thanks.
