I just got it. I put batteries in and it is making a high pitched sound. There is no OFF switch? Do I really have to take batteries out EVERY time?

On the handle there is botton when you press and HOLD it in then it is ON... when you let go of that same botton then it is OFF.. my does not make any type of sound unless you kill a bug with it or touch something like metal. If it does not work like this then Iit has a issue.

The high pitched noise should only happen when you push the small button on the side of the handle. If you are not pushing the small button on the side of the handle and that button is not jammed in the depressed position, then you have a defective unit.

Had mine (two of them actually of which one has had regular daily use killing moths in an animal feed store of sorts) and never have had any problem with it and have not need to mess with batteries. Based on my own experience I think you got a defective one.

Well. If you're using it on battery supply you've GOT to change the batt. Often, when the battery starts going dead, the range of tonal change decreases dramatically. I was playing with mine once when the battery got real low and it only had two different sounds. Now, with a fresh battery its great. As far as "sucking tone" i would say its a mediocre problem.

Use fresh batteries. It will provide a good shock if your batteries are new. You will also hear it humming louder at the control box.

I haven't used mine yet but plan to soon. I've heard from other reviewers that you must remove the batteries to turn the device off, so maybe that's part of the problem.

I have not. I have managed to get 6 months out of my batteries. One suggestion is to turn off the LED light if you have not already done so.

I have the same problem as you!I've changed batteries and still behaves in the same way.I bought mine at Home Depot, but If a had read the reviews before buying I would not have acquired it

make sure you are pressing the metal on both hands. I thought our batteries were dead, too. but they were not. My next thought was to take the battery out and check the size, but that wasn't necessary.

I didn't have that problem. But I would not reccomend buying this expensive pice of junk. First it is a real pain to change the batteries. Second, after less than a year the digital screen on mine went out so now I have to use a tire gauge and this which defeats the whole purpose. Keep looking this is junk.

To turn it on just close the battery door. To turn it off just open the door to the first stop. If you do not hear anything once the door is closed, try turning up volume or a new battery.

Without battery on guitar that's not gonna take a sound out on amp. Put a charged battery on guitar and then connect it with amp, be sure the battery is new! And the tunner should be turnd off. Bb

Nop, it always starts with QUIET LEVEL whenever you turn it on even last time you turn it off and left it with HIGH LEVEL

That doesn't sound good. I'm not familiar with it producing tones in that sequence and I would expect to see something on the display. Is the battery new?

I find its when the batteries are getting low, the song hits a punch note and it peaks out the power shuts off. New batteries fixes the issue. Had one for about a year, and it so nice. 20 hours plus of play time on those 4 batteries.

mine won't even make a noise when I put it back together after trying several brand new batteries.I need it but seldom got to use it, and now it is headed for the trash. Lucky you that yours even still turns on.

I have never heard any high pitched tones ever come from my mouse...I'd say try and get it replaced.

What we figured out was the machine itself had lost it's charge (needed to be recharged) and as soon as we plugged it back in to the house electric to recharge the noise quit. Can be right piercing, can't it? That was the only thing we could find doing it. Hope that helps. Just set a day of the month to recharge it automatically......keeps it from squealing in the car when ya climb in or we keep it in the house as well....so making noise in the house as well. JWA
