Just sharing this bug here, as it’s kinda funny… Half way through my training session, the Tickr X decided to invert the readings, looks like 210 - HR… check it out… My heart rate goes up as I recover :smiley: [Screenshot 2023-07-02 at 22.51.47] Would be great to fix, but in the meantime what’s t…

Tiny bit of moisture in there, despite the cover and o-ring looking intact. Maybe that was it. Cheers.

To reset, open the battery compartment, remove the battery and reverse polarity put the cover back on for 3 full seconds then, put it back the way it is supposed to be.

As an electrical engineer, putting the battery in backwards gives me the heebie jeebies. But if that’s the design… will give it a go next time, thanks!

It’s from The Company support site for troubleshooting their HRMs. :man_shrugging:t3:

I am a professionally qualified electronic engineer, with nearly 25 years in my field. Without asking to see the circuit schematics, I would like an explanation of how reversing the polarity [image] jmckenzieKOS: applies no power but allows overcharged components to discharge and reset Batt…

Interesting. R u and @gwydion saying that putting the battery in backwards could cause a problem with a unit like an HRM?

I’m saying that it is unclear to me why Wahoo tech support recommends this because I do not understand how that circuit works. Ordinarily, applying reverse polarity to the input power could cause problems. I was rather highlighting Sir @jmckenzieKOS text that was a bit hand-waving and rubbed me up…

[image] titanicus: rubbed me up the wrong way :grinning: I’d suggest just reversing the rubbing polarity so it’s the right way :wink: :joy:

I just add official link to that recommendation https://support.wahoofitness.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000359464-TICKR-Troubleshooting - see reset Tickr chapter.

Putting in the battery ‘upside’ down applies no power but allows overcharged components to discharge and reset.
