Hammerhead HRM ongoing issues
I’m beginning to think my Hammerhead HRM is malfunctioning. I’ve had to replace the battery twice and still am frustrated that about 50% of the time the little indicator lights never come on and the device is not found by the sensor device.
The other day on my outside ride with my Karoo 2 it wasn’t connected for the first ~10 miles. I stopped for a break and was going to check things, and it suddenly woke up and connected.
I have not yet been able to do a ride on Zwift (using an Apple TV 4k). Several times it has initially detected the HRM, but then it drops off and I’m unable to wake the device or reconnect it.
Also, I have to remove the device from the strap after each successful use or the lights keep flashing for hours.
Does this seem like proper behavior? Am I not using it properly? I’m so confused and frustrated, I wanted something simple and reliable and this seems to be neither.

Yes, you are supposed to detach the sensor pod from the strap when you're not using it. Unless you are already sweating, you need to wet the sensor pads to start. Saliva is easiest and I find it works fine. You also need to wash the strap and pod regularly to keep it clean and working well.
All covered in the instructions.
