PM5 slow to power off
I upload my workouts by connecting the PM5 to the laptop and the C2 Utility. The PM5 is supposed to power down automatically after (?4) minutes of inactivity and usually does after I've unplugged the cable from the laptop. But once in a while it takes a lot longer. This happened today -- the screen stayed on for about 10 minutes or so before going blank.
It's a very minor inconvenience but I thought I'd ask if it means anything that I should know about.

Don't know why it stays active longer, but anytime I don't want to use the PM5 no longer, I shut it down manually. Press menu button 4 times.

Re: PM5 slow to power off
Could it be a Bluetooth connection to it from phone etc keeping it up?Rowan McSheen wrote: ↑June 3rd, 2023, 7:28 amI upload my workouts by connecting the PM5 to the laptop and the C2 Utility.

Press the [MENU] button four times and the PM5 will power down straight away.

No bluetooth, occasional use of ant+ hrm.
I didn't know the 4 x menu trick. Thank you gentlemen.

Re: PM5 slow to power off
Also you can shut it down from the main menu by simply pressing and holding the menu button for a few seconds

Re: PM5 slow to power off
I presume you have the latest firmware version on your PM5 if you are using the C2 Utility all the time ?

Re: PM5 slow to power off
Just to be clear, this is four times from the main menu. If you are in a sub-menu (like an active workout) you need to push more than four in total: enough to get to the main menu, then four more.
