wireless door bells I find that they "go off" automatically at times. And sometimes I have to take out the battery to stop it from ringing. Anyone else have this problem?

I have found a similar situation. When we use a vacuum cleaner in the hallway where the bell unit is located, the noise sometimes sets off the ringer and the remotes, but they always shut off after the cycle.

Yes, mine also beeps at seemingly nothing. But I think we've been able to narrow it down to high winds. So now we just unplug it when it's windy.

I've had the same experience. I think it has something to do with the batteries only being for the clock display; not to run the unit so you need to keep the radio plugged in when you play it, and when you "power" it off, the batteries keep the clock on. IDK it's a real lame feature and I sent the company a harsh review of the product basically saying it was a very poorly designed product. You probably saw my review about it but I wasn't happy.

yeah that's EXACTLY the problem. it's unclear if the headphones are turned on automatically and same for the base station. Has these crazy flashing light codes. I turn the phones off manually when I'm done, but i'm pretty sure they turn themselves off in the cradle. Then when I start to use them I manually turn them on and make certain the cradle is transmitting. I bet there's a more suave process, but I haven't the patience to play with it.

I want it. The sound is loud 'enuff but the chime doesn't ring and I am confused as to how to make it work. I did finally get the battery section opened and inside were directions.... but as to how to make the light work is confusing. I would think it would automatically work when batteries are installed but it isn't.

Mine was the same way. I found a different solution by using a wireless chime. It was a lot of work. I rigged the button to connect to the wired chime. It only worked for one door. Not 2 doors like the extend a chime. But at least it could be heard. Sometimes this stuff doesn't work. What are you going to do?

Hard to say without seeing it. Double check your wiring and your settings. It could be a loose wire, for example, or maybe the sensitivity is turned up too high. I set up the sensitivity on mine to come on right as you walk through the door. Also, if you have the time turned all the way down (test position), it will stay on for like 30 seconds and then shut off. That's the shortest setting. If it's coming on and off in shorter intervals than that, there is likely an issue with how it was connected.

It eventually goes off, but not immediately. It's always still on when I leave the kitchen, but not on the next time I enter the room.

Idk but ours just started doing that too. My first one lasted 6 years and no ringing

No issue for me. I get Jingle Bells all year long. Perhaps yours is defective.

I can only speak for the chime setting because we do not use the alarm. If the batteries are running low the chime won't work all the time, its sporadic. With fresh batteries I have had no issues. When the batteries are running low you get a warning, the chime only plays the first portion of the song, then it makes a low battery beep. This will go on for days or weeks until you replace them. The longer you wait the less reliable the chime is with the old batteries being used.

I was able to get my unit to ring,but only last a day then you have to reset it again, It sounds like you have defective unit. I would return it for your money back or a better unit. My unit starts ringing if I use my cordless phone!

The sensors remain along with the safety features. The GB will continue to try to close the door after its cycle. The beeper is very loud and it will alert you that something is wrong. If you are not home that would mean it would try to close every X mins based on your setting.

Harold, I've had mine a few months now and it turns off automatically. I haven't had to replace the batteries. Contact Amazon or the supplier about an exchange.

I had the same problem and the next day they ended up braking. It should turn off on its own, if not I believe their is a small button you would have to press with a pin. Anyways I upgraded to some MeElectronics and they working great and battery life is terrific. Sound is easy better then these as well.

This happened to me once, too. It'll come back. I unplugged mine for a while, then tried again (like, the next day) and it was fine. It still occasionally gets stuck in limbo, but it usually only takes a few minutes without power, then plugging it back in. Also, I've noticed it does this less often if I take out the Bluetooth thingy in back. There's a little cover you can remove on the back with a little USB Bluetooth receiver in it. It's tricky to get your fingers in there, but once I pulled this out, my unit started working more reliably.

I've noticed it times out if not used. I ran power from my radio accessory feed so it doesn't stay on all the time. Some times I will have to turn the key off and then back on so it resets and connects.
