Battery Tests

Before starting any workout it is good to know: "How are the batteries in my power meters, heart rate monitor and other devices?".



📣 Many Bluetooth devices support only one connection at a time. It is best to run Battery Tests before opening any other apps. This lets GearView read battery levels before the respective devices are  connected to other apps. 

Battery Test Summary

GearView has a convenient battery test function that let's you see all your battery levels on a single page.

On the main dashboard, click the battery icon.

You will see the Batteries page.

Scanning for all battery powered Bluetooth devices starts immediately. 

In a few seconds, battery estimates are shown for all supported devices currently in range.

Click Rescan to find additional devices.

Click Done to return to the main dashboard.
