Garmin Edge 705

[geoffrey]

I have a Garmin Edge 705. Recently, it stopped displaying my heart rate; everythings else is displayed fine. I put a new battery in the chest strap transmitter but it still does not display my heart rate. Any suggestions?
Cheers, Geoff.

You need to try and par it with someone elses HRM to see whether its your 705 or the chest strap.

I had this similar problem once with my Garmin Edge 305. Unfortunately, I had to buy a new chest strap. Now I am also on 705. Luckily, never had any issue so far...

You need to pair the HRM and unit every time you replace the battery as well. I would try that first. If that doesn't work, it's probably the HRM. Garmin's straps (especially the soft premium model) are notorious for failing, but most people I know were able to get Garmin to replace them.

Spot on do it before you start riding so you dont ride into the rear end of the milk van but also be sure to hit the start button.
I have issues with the speed sensor cadence is OK but the speed is way out so that puts power out I have 2 of them on 2 different bikes one is OK but other is out I know I didnt ride for two hours at 60 kmh still working on it.
The GPS speed dosnt work with power meter
