[Resolved] S9P suddenly starts burning through it's battery

[Theo Lakerveld]

Hi, As from tuesday (two days ago), my S9P starts burning through it’s battery within appr. two days. This night I discovered that the backlight is continuously turned on, without me changing settings. These have been identical since I’ve configured the watch a long, long time ago. The watch is running on FW 2.20.30

Backlight settings are; Brightness: High, Standby: Adaptive, R2W: Exercise only.

I’ve tried the 12 sec reset (twice)
I’ve tried turning standby to “off”
I’ve tried changing R2W to “off”
I’ve tried powering the device completely “off”

Nothing of the above is solving the backlight staying turned on.

Does any of you have experienced the same and is there a quick fix before I contact Suunto support?

[Theo Lakerveld]

I didn’t wait and asked Suunto Support straight away. Problem solved: Long pressing the middle button and turning of the backlight from there fixed the issue. I probably activated this without being aware of doing so.
Thumbs up to Suunto Support for responding and solving the issue within 30 seconds!
