So, you can do a mindless google search.
But you have no idea what those results mean.
19,700,000 hits. (I wonder if Garmin has sold anywhere
near that number of Edge 800's!)
The first page is supposedly the "most relevant". So, let's look at what some of them actually talk about.
Looking at the
first result I see.
https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=...65788261,d.cWc
It's talking about an issue that was fixed by
replacing a dead battery and problems with sensors (in the Vector pedal).
Looking at the
fourth link I see:
https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=...65788261,d.cWc
It's talking about heart-rate monitor straps.
Looking at the
seventh link I see:
https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=...65788261,d.cWc
It's talking about a speed/cadence sensor problem.

A "quarter million hits" all talk about 5 times in one trip?
Really?

The user manual
is weak.
Everybody knows that. You could have googled that before hand too!

You clearly don't have much experience with the devices and you don't seem to know a lot about them.
The devices aren't perfect. If you use it with the expectation that they
must be perfect, you are going to have a bad time.
