My reminder works on & off. New batts worked, but a voltmeter showed both sets of batts were OK. What's wrong?

In my case, I think that the metal mailbox shielded the signal from reaching the house. Perhaps it would have worked had the house been only a few feet from the box.

Make sure there are no large metal objects between( line of sight) the two units. The metal object could be a refrigerator inside the house or a car parked outside. Also, the mail box itself can block the signal if it is metal. I had to extend the antennal wire on the transmitter a few inches outside my metal mailbox to cure intermittent operation.

I bought two units. The one I'm using at my house has worked flawlessly from about a hundred feet away over the last few months. However the one I purchased for my sister -in-law sits at a slight depresion down the hill from her house and only functions sporatically. It appears to be simply a matter of signal blockage. As someone else suggested, you might try extending the transmitting antenna outside the mailbox.

Thank you for your question Carl. It sounds like your unit just needs to be reset, which can be done very easily. Simply reset the system by holding the UV button for at least 3-5 seconds until the reminder lights stop flashing. Your product is now set and ready to go!

Maybe a dead battery? There is trouble shooting area for the Activity Tracker on the SparkPeople website.

Mine worked for a week and stopped working...not a happy camper(Make sure your battery is in the right direction, it should spark by pressing button w/o being connected)

I got the same message while I installed the battery, after checking to reset Smc and pram and the message disappeared and it worked.

Try them in multiple devices to make sure it's the batteries I have had zero issues with the batteries. Also make sure that there is no corrosion from anyou old batteries on the contacts.

My light (green) stay's on when charging. It goes off when complete. Mine only blinks when the battery is low. It sounds as if your battery might be faulty.I never use tech support on anything. They usually know less about their products than we do!

No, you might want to try a different type of battery first. Make sure they are fresh and new too.

Doito, went dead, no LED light indicates to me that your batter is nolonger connected, Check to make sure it has not disconnected, make sure it's not bad. Even new batteries are bad out of the box. I experienced this first hand as an electronics tech

There is a switch on the back (near the plug) to turn the battery on/off. If that does not work, then you have a defective unit. I contacted tdk and they sent me another battery for free, but it wasn't the battery so I exchanged the unit at Fry's where I bought it. The second one has worked flawlessly.

Check that the battery is 1) good, and 2) installed in the correct direction. If it does not turn on automatically when these are correct, then the unit may be faulty.

Mine was installed yesterday and already with new duracells the "replace" is flashing, and the backlit display never goes off. But I think I must have gotten a faulty unit.

I was able to replace my battery. But right now its always blinking on one bar. It seems to be charging now though so I will be patient and let it charge. Hope fully bars will return. When its charging the bars blink right? Mine doesn't do that anymore. @Richard L How did it strip the battery case?

The last time I changed a battery, I had a similar response. But, given time it recovered and is now working properly. Maybe it's a capacitance issue.

Your device is faulty. The information should be stored in the internal memory until you either, remove the battery or reset it yourself.
