Has anyone been able to bypass the short transmit time of a second or two by cleaning the battery contacts with alcohol?

I have had no problems with my Midland radios. I would contact Midland Tech right away and let them walk you through troubleshooting. If not battery contacts, it could be a manufacturing or component defect.

I have not had a problem. I agree with the other poster that cleaning contacts, then checking batteries and well they fit with contacts. It sounds like not making a tight connection. If contacts and batteries all look good, I would see if Midland can replace. Could be a factory mistake. My radios have been bumped around and used. They normally are solid well built units.

Don,I haven't had any issues with short transmit times yet. My transmit times are fine so far, but I haven't put that many miles on my radios yet. If the alcohol doesn't help you might try a contact cleaner called Deoxit or Deoxit Gold which you would have to spray on a Q-tip and then apply to the contacts.. Or, you may have to replace your batteries. Try talking to the Midland Tech support also.

Pretty well, all things considered. I sometimes use a delay box, sometimes not. I would probably replace it with the same if I somehow lost it.

Mine is doing exactly the same thing. Removing battery, inserting into USB port, etc. has no effect. Worked great for three weeks. Back it goes...

I think you can, I've never tried that low freq. Try turning persist on. It will capture the wave form and hold it on the screen. I'm enjoying my machine and it does everything I need...right now.

Clean the contacts on the charging base and the contacts on the remote with a Q-tip soaked in rubbing alcohol. THe battery should still be fine, it just isn't getting a charge.

Did you remove the clear plastic tab that stops the battery from making proper contact?

I had the same problem. The metal contacts inside the battery compartment get pushed in when the radios get dropped or bumped around hard. Take a pencil or something similar and bend the prongs out where they make good connection with the battery contacts.

I have that problem, too. Imagine changing the battery might help. Haven't tried it yet, since I don't really need it.

Changing battery is always a good idea but make sure tour camera is on the self timing mode, whether it b 5 second delay or 10 second delay. It took me a while to figure it out but it did work. Self timer mode is the key.

Sounds like a connection is not being made. If you have access to a compressor with an air nozzle blow out all the dust and crud from the vent holes that you can. Be sure to unplug it first. Then try it again. If it still does not work, then obtain a can of Deoxit D5 (sold on Amazon). It's not cheap. Spray it on the electronics, let it sit a bit as per product instructions. Blow it off again with the compressed air. It should be fine. The Deoxit stuff is amazing to restore electronic contacts that have corroded.

No. This has never happened to me. After two years of nightly use I do not use it as often. A miracle!

I had the same problem when using batteries. The AC adapter plug was pushing in the small tap that is suppose to tell it if you are on the AC or not. Worked this in and out a few times with a flathead screw driver and also took a little snip out of the plug so it doesn't come in contact with the tab. No problems since. I can tell you that th Blue Tooth connection will break when the batteries are down to about 30%. I use it on earphone plug to get mad use of the batteries. My AC adapter now works well too.

Sorry, haven't tried either of this options. I called Sony about the battery problem. My only suggestion would to call their customer service. (I didn't put to much faith in their help). I see there was another response to your question by Gloria. I think she answered your question.

I un-clip the transmitter after every use. So far I have been using for 3 months 3-4 times a week for 30-50 min per time and I am still on the original battery.

Take the battery out of the env2 and reinsert it...works every time for me. I have a pairing problem every few months

Yes! Open the battery compartment and remove the piece of plastic. Presto! They all work now!

Same problem here. The receiver has trouble keeping connection through a sliding glass door less than 20 feet away from the transmitter. Door open, no issue. Door closed, constantly dropping signal. Tried fresh batteries, no joy. Complete crap.
