That's not how mine works. Actually it only wakes up if I

I do have the wireless sensor on mine, that could explain
the difference in 'waking up' behavior.

Hmm... I wonder if the buttons on your brifters are working
correctly. The left button should correspond to the 'A'
button (or the more forward button if you have both buttons
on one hood). It wouldn't be the end of the world for your
'A' button on the brifter to not function, but it is the
stop/start for the odometer and the stopwatch function.

You might want to check to be sure your 'A' brifter button
is really working.

You can download a manual for the SC-6501 or SC-6502 he

Mine (and I suspect, yours) is a SC-6500 but the differences
from 6500 to 6501 are slight.

Mine's a 6501 and the "A" button does function, and I'm also
getting a shifter position signal from the left brifter. the
brifter button does not wake it up however.

I stand corrected. The manual for the 6501 says:
Canceling power save mode The normal display will return as
soon as switch "A" or switch "B" is pressed.

The 6500 manual says:
The normal display will return as soon as a signal is received
or a button has been pressed.

I made incorrect assumptions, sorry.

Well now I know *one* of the differences between the 6500 and
the 6501. At least the link to the 6501 manual might be of some
use to you.
