How often do owners of this radio get the "red ring of death" and have to use the reset button? When does the red ring usually occur?

I've had this unit for over a year now and have paired it with 3+ different android devices. I have never had the ring of death and have never had to reset... *shrug*

I have to reset mine about every 2-3 months. Not sure why, might be something to do with power surge on the ignition of my truck. Have same radio in wife's car and father in law's truck. Never happened on his truck and only once on wifes car. not bad for having them over 3 years...

I usually had to reset my radio about every 2 months, I don't know why, I did nothing other than normal driving habits.

7 months of usage here, never happened once. I get the feeling it's likely caused by corrupt mp3s

hi--i listen usually twice a day for 2 hours total. the batteries last for 4 or 5 months. the radio starts to beep when the batteries start losing juice. i love this radio!!

When the button is pressed by the patient, the receiver plays the chosen song once, so the helper does not need to reset the receiver. When the patient presses the button again, the song plays once again. Hope this helps. :)

Nope! I haven't had the same issue as the other responder. I have two - one for me, one at my workplace. Both work well. Only complaint is the goofy expensive ($10) battery required by the receiver.

With the radio off press and hold the 12/24 button. It may not change, but push it again. My radio required two push and holds.

Highly variable. It is important to use the "lock" feature when the radio is OFF. That way the radio will not be turned on accidentally wasting the battery.

The book says 1 year. They are very customer friendly and will work with you. I received mine for Christmas and it suddenly stopped working. We called and they gave us an authorization number, we sent it back, and the radio was back here in about 7 days. They stand behind their product. Hope this helped

You didn't say what's not working. Is the radio completely dead including the panel light while using new batteries or using the power cord? Check all the switch positions on the radio and make sure you didn't change any positions. If all else fails, I would return it for a new one. I am very happy with mine.

Oh gee wiz Rick, it has been some 3 years when I had that radio and unfortunately only for few minutes for it did not meet my requirements. I think it is a "one finger" operations, but it was very small unit that I couldn't brail my way through its controls in the darkness of my bedroom.

I haven't had any issues with this radio. There is a little bit of a learning curve with it, but that's true of most radios nowadays. It really is a pretty good radio for the money...

I believe that You must be tuned to a radio station that transmits a RBDS signals to obtain time etc. updates. Did you lose electrical power? are the back-up batteries installed? pull the power source and see if the batteries power the unit. And lastly, check your set up on page 13 of the manual. I hope this was of some assistance. RWM

Never had that problem. Only issue I had after about 4 years+ of ownership was that unit would turn off after 10-15 minutes but would come back on after I turned it off and on. In my recent experience, Tivoli is no longer servicing these older units but did give me a 50% discount on any replacement which was not bad considering the many years of use I got out of it. I was able to but a new radio for about what the service would have cost. The other thing is that many of the other quality radios that were competing with the Tivoli over the last five years are no longer available. It means a lot to me to be able to get service or replacement products and support so I'm sticking with Tivoli. Never had that problem.

I had a similar problem a few years ago. I went to their website and found a firmware update that I then applied to the radio and it has worked ever since. It took some configuring and a few on/off power cycles, but it is running as I write years after the problem. hope that works for you.

Ours sets time randomly. It also sets the decade randomly as well. It also ignores some warnings, so I cannot in way recommend this radio.

Hi there,I wish I knew why. Mine is acting the same way. Both times I've tried to use my camera I lost radio control as well. I was so freaked out by crashing it, I never thought to check the GPS signal indicator light. I got my repair parts Friday, and it's pretty windy today, but I'll be checking this out later in the week.
