Powerpod dropping ANT+ heart rate signal

[qpootle2]

Hi all. I've been using my PP V2 for two three years with generally satisfactory results. Recently, however, it has been dropping & re-acquiring the heart rate data broadcast by my Garmin Vivoactive watches. This first happened with a Vivoactive HR and it got so bad I actually replaced it with a Vivoactive 3.However, the same thing is happening again. The signal does not drop on my Garmin Edge 820 computer and the data are also continuous in the watch's record. The Powerpod records the speed and cadence data with no difficulty. Any ideas?

Hmm...I would try a hard reset of the PP (press-hold button for 12 seconds. Light will go out momentarily, then start flashing. Release button).
