Strange icon display while using treadmill

Johnhm

For the past few weeks when using the treadmill my watch vibrates and displays concentric circles it then changes to a large arrow (sometimes up and sometimes down). If I do nothing it will revert back to the normal display. I can see no mention of this in the discussion forum or the user guide.

Can you offer an explanation

I am using a GPS Cadio watch s/w version 1.8.46

You have one of the Zone training modes turned on. Go into the treadmill start screen, press down and select Training> None to turn it off.

I hope this helps, please let me know if this answered your question. If it did, please mark it as a solution so others can look for it if they have the same question.

Problem solved, many thanks

I've got a circle with a line through it from the bottom right, which keeps flashing when I try to use the watch on the treadmill or an indoor bike. I've tried turning off training zone but that doesn't work and I can't measure my activity. Seems to turn itself off and on:

Can you post a picture of it as it does not sound familiar?

It's the one next to the flashing heart. Hanks for your help ?

that is the cycle sensor symbol, you must be in indoor cycling mode, not treadmill. If you do not have a BT+ dual speed and cadence sensor attached you need to go to Sensors>Bike and turn it to Off.

Thank you, that's great and the problem is solved. Best wishes Denise
