Fox Eos bite alarms
Hi Guys,
Just a quick question. I'm hoping someone who has these alarms can answer..?? It says in the instruction manual that they have an inbuilt low battery warning. Does anybody know what the alarms do when the batteries are low..?? I keep getting an audible series of beeps a bit like a police car siren and the led on the front flashes briefly. The only thing I can think it is, is this low battery warning thing, but I only bought them 2 weeks ago and have used them twice, so surely the batteries aren't gone already..?? Unless I got a duff set of batteries..?? Hope someone can offer a little advice.
Thanks,
Steve

Thanks mate,
It is the batteries. I changed them today and the noise has stopped now. The ones I took out had a use by date printed on the side of the battery August 2006...!!!!! I only bought them a week ago. I think Tesco's need to check their stock rotation a bit more frequently. Thanks for the help, much appreciated.

No bother Steve.
A set of Micron battries should last about 3-5 YEARS! No kidding. I've got 4 Microns and I think I've only changed 2 sets of batteries in all the time I've had them. I don't even fuss about switching them off. They get knocked on walking back to the car with my holdall anyway. What I will do though, is turn the volume right down, at the end of a session, so that if they do get knoked on, the power drain is minimal.
