I checked on my ride today to make sure it wasn't searching for the HRM and it shows --- for HR once it finds the hub. I also checked to see if it was doing a HR search after a hub signal loss during the ride, and it doesn't seem to be searching then either.
Can someone explain to me why having the unit in the download cradle would potentially drain the battery, even if the unit has gone to sleep after the DL. I often see this mentioned to explain dead batteries as well.
