How do you know when the batteries are running low?

There is no low battery indicator. Just keep extra batteries and put them in when the sound is distorted or stops.

I have only changed my batteries once so far,but I think the green light turned red.I could be wrong,the batteries seem to last a long time.I personally wish there was a place for a DC coard,and a place to plug in an additional speaker.With 2 powered speakers it would be a killer sound.

I think it's when you turn the power on and the light is red instead of green. Just happened to me. I changed the batteries and the light turned green.

Mine usually gets a lot of static then goes to very annoying screeching sound.

I think you may have gotten a defect battery because I only charged mine for an hour or 2 when I first got it. (I disconnected it because the charged light turned green) and I was able to use it all day yesterday and today. I still haven't gotten the low batter indicator.

Ours actually shows a flashing red light when the battery is getting low, just on the receiver, little red light starts to flash.

If the sound is probably indicating low battery, are using a 60 watt battery that is very little capacity. Check how much charge is taking out of the battery and how fast you are recharging because it is surely that.

Click on the lightening bolt on the back dial. Then scroll and select auto or on (flashes every time) on the flash menu. Also check that your battery is charged.

usually i plug it in and the green light comes up and i can see the battery symbols for the respective slots i put the battery in flash with an indication. if the batteries show up already full, the batteries might either be fully charged or no good.

Between 6-7 hours full light on low power mode after 7th hour the battery will start to get low and the light will start to dim lower for an hour then it will go out

No low battery indicator, not sure how many hours for the 9 volt battery but I'm use the same one from about two months ago. There is a on light inside that let's you that the device is working.

it would really depend on usage. I'm pretty sure the manual says the lights will blink when batteries get low. The door we have it on gets less than 50 openings a month and we bought it in Sept.2014 with no signs of the batteries going low.

Are you using lithium batteries? That usually happens when the battiers are low.

I think the easiest way to tell would be to time the charging of a set of batteries that you know is mostly charged vs. a set of batteries that is totally dead. If they both take the same amount of time before the light indicates they're done, then you have a dumb charger. If the almost-charged batteries take much less time, your charger is smart.

it says; when the low battery symbol appears on the display, please change the batteries

There is not a low battery indicator, but the LED on the inside will start to get dimmer. You might also notice the need to turn the volume up higher as the battery wears down. With a standard alkaline 9v battery most people report 40-50 hrs of play time. Or if you use a rechargeable nimh 9v battery roughly half that per charge.

Try replacing the battery. Mine acts funny if it is low even though it is plugged into the outlet.

When you turn it on it will flash a light twice indicating the battery level. Just look to make sure the light is green. It will change to yellow or red (I can't remember which) when the battery runs low. My battery lasted a very long time, 17 months before I had to change it.

when the battery dies! That has to reflect on the server .. should notify before the battery runs out!

From my observation, when the red light flickers (instead of steady) when motion is detected, it is an indicator of low battery. Best to charge it via the USB.
