Does the GT-16 supposed to beep every 4 seconds after turning it on? I know the light is flashing every 4 seconds as a self test process? Thanks

No it does not beep on self test, but does beep and light up at varying rates depending on the sensitivity setting, when it detects a voltage on my GT-16.

If it chirps every 30-40 seconds, the battery may need replacement. I can't recall if there is any "expiry" date on the detector - is it exactly 1 minute? I suggest tossing in fresh batteries and maybe clean by vacuuming around the detector with a brush attachment. And see if that stops the beeping? I thankfully have not had the chirping problem until after about a year and it was because the battery was weak. Is it all of them beeping at once? I would hardly think all 4 could fail at the same time, but try the obvious approach first. Otherwise, you may have defective detectors or your wiring may be faulty.

You must push the start button before the unit will come on. When you have finished exercising,the unit will turn itself off and will make an a loud beep. Check the wiring harness connection between the display and the flywheel.

I believe it only beeps if the unit has detected a surge. Once the surge clears and the unit is functioning properly, it should not continue beeping. The 3 units that I have do not continuously beep as you describe and there have been several brownouts in my neighborhood. Make sure you see a green light under the red one. If not, there's no surge protection and that could be why its beeping. I would contact Customer Service and verify that you didn't receive a bad unit.

I played around with it to see what it would do. A single beep sounds when motion is detected. Then about 15-20 seconds later the (obnoxious) alarm starts, and continues for about 30 seconds before it stops. I'm not sure how long it takes, but the unit does re-arm itself after the alarm has been sounded.

If you press the "+" to quickly to get to a higher level, the unit will have a constant beep. This happened to me several times before I figured out what was happening. Simply press and hold the "-" (minus) button until the unit beeps and goes off, turn it back on and wait a few seconds between pressing the "+" to advance levels. This should solve the problem! Hope this helps! KC Vancouer, WA

Most likely a defect, nothing has been listed about a beep less updated version. I would consider yourself lucky though unless there are other malfunctions. The beep on mine is ludicrously loud.

Hi,It has a little beep. It also has a light. I don't pay that much attention to the workings of it, but I know if I've been out all day and I come home and there's a message there will be a quite, intermittent beep. If I check the caller IDs without checking the messages, that beep changes to a small blue flashing LED.I'm pretty happy with these phones.Hope I've helped. Happy Holidays!!

Mine only beeps when a button is being pressed. Make sure none of the buttons are stuck in the "pressed in" position.

Hi Luci! Once you insert the batteries, a beep sound should indicate that it has powered on. If that does not apply, then hold down the (Menu) button down to power it on. Reply back if that does not work.

I would contact the place you purchased this at. I do not get a beep every minute while on mine. The only time it beeps is when I change the speed or incline.

Usually I hit the beep button twice then it works. Make sure the collar is set to the right channel too if yours has three like mine does. Hope that helps.

Same thing for me. IT has the BF-F8+ Sticker on the bottom but not the black screen. Either way, everyone I talk to says it sounds great. Don't know now what the internals are seeing as how the "+" denotes upgraded internals like the GT-3.

Mine started right away with no issues. I think yours might be defected if it's still not working.

That's recently happened to me. Changed the batt. No more crazy beeping! Takes a day or two to kick in though.

It beeps once when you push the start and then beeps several time when the time is up. All the buttons beep once when pushed.
