besides the irritating chirp that drives my dogs nuts, is there a visual way for me to tell if the battery is low or determine there is a malfuntion?

If the green light is on, the battery is good. They say you should clean the unit out with a can of air once a year. If you do that and the green light is one, contact the manufacturer and they will help you.

David C. The only sound that is made is the ones that let you know the unit is on/off/bad battery. These are simple beeps and a light indicator. During operation in the field...nothing, Great product! Mine is over two years old and is still going with no issues other than new batteries. Tom

First, I'm sure you have, check the battery; and then press in the small "button-like" impression on one side, once for steady flashing and twice for blinking ... it can be hard to press it in. They do work wonderfully though ... we have an all black dog and live on some acreage and in the dark, she's easy to see. Good luck.

I have had the same problem. Trimming shrub branches out of the way helps significantly. Also, when batteries are low, the alert signal repeats. Howard V.

I'm not sure of that problem. I imagine there is an on off switch. The pup was a birthday present for my granddaughter. If you cant find the switch take out the batteries. Ask me again in a few days and I will find out from the dogs present guidian

Hard to tell what the problem might be, but I would suggest that you make sure they have both a good, fresh battery as well as a hardwire connection. If either of these is not up to snuff, you will get the chirp (they need both).

Try replacing the battery. Mine acts funny if it is low even though it is plugged into the outlet.

Try changing the battery. Look for the flap on the "tummy", open and proceed.

The collar has batteries which are included. Amazon also has the replacement batteries. If the beeping sound gets lower then you know the battery is dying and needs to be replaced. Replacing the batteries is easy.

The collar has a low battery indicator. I have not had the kit long enough to see if the transmitter has one. I am still using the original 9V battery.

I haven't had my battery die out yet, with that said it doesn't appear to have any manner to indicate a low battery. The instructions do no mention this either.

it says; when the low battery symbol appears on the display, please change the batteries

Chirping cannot be coming from the wires--has to come from the unit. Sometimes changing the battery won't work because the unit has a limited life. First try blowing dust out of the unit with canned air. If not working, get a new unit--worked like a charm.

The beeper is not very loud, but your pet hears it well. If the light is blinking, it's working fine. Just look for the light to to tell you when to put on the charger. Thanks, Don.

No! I've had my light a couple of years and this problem has never happened. I use it for an hour every night to take care of the animals. Make sure that you don't overcharge it. I charge mine in my car so that I can hear when the charge is completed.

Is the on switch on?Test it yourself by saying"BARK" while pointing it away from your face. If that doesn't work maybe battery is no good. Good luck.

I think you may have gotten a defect battery because I only charged mine for an hour or 2 when I first got it. (I disconnected it because the charged light turned green) and I was able to use it all day yesterday and today. I still haven't gotten the low batter indicator.
