How do you know when the batteries are low or dead? How can you test it to be sure its working?

You know its on because there is a buzz when you turn it on. Not aure about batteries, i believe there is a light that indicates this. I tested it by putting it on a non mivable surface, and it did as promised...

We have used it every night for the last 7 months and the battery still has not been changed once. I assume it will beep if it gets low, but I'm not sure.

When you turn it on, it vibrates and the light above the battery icon (far left) flashes green. It flashes yellow or red when a new battery is needed. We've had this for 6+ months and the battery is still "green."

Double and triple check the battery positions. They can be tricky. Otherwise it should turn on no problem.

I should add, when it's not plugged in or getting power, mine displays a low battery alert, then dies.

You can use the volt meter to measure the voltage across battery terminals. That will give you an indication whether the battery is dead or alive. However, strictly speaking it is not a battery tester, since it does not draw any load current from the battery.

Send it back if batteries are good. Check batteries for charge and in correctly first. Sounds silly but can happen.

Mine works great and am very happy with it. Check batteries just in case they are bad

you can charger the low batteries one at a time until you get about 25 to30 volts. then hook up your charger to test it out.

Not sure... But I bought this and discovered there is No Light or Sound Indicating its on or even working..You will never know for sure whats happening or working or batteries are kaput.A bit disconcerting at best. :)

The remote will indicate when it is low on battery by displaying a red battery icon on the little LCD screen on the remote. There is no way to know when this is going to happen, it just tells you it is low and then lasts about one more day then dies. Hope this helps answer your question.

usually i plug it in and the green light comes up and i can see the battery symbols for the respective slots i put the battery in flash with an indication. if the batteries show up already full, the batteries might either be fully charged or no good.

To be honest the battery life seems really good and I have yet to get to the point where the battery has gotten low enough to get some kindof warning . There is a very small led light which is either red or blue I'd imagine that is probably the indicator light to let a person knowwhen the battery is low. I would have to check the manual to be positive though. I hope this info still helps.

Make sure it is fully charged before you turn it on. Mine worked for only a few weeks though.

Check your battery ,sounds like battery not properly connected...or dead/damaged.

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.

It's possible that the battery is bad, that would be the first thing to check. If not the battery then check the power supply.

Check if your batteries are in the right position. Positive (+) and negative (-)contacts Check the expiration date in the batteries carton, use a good brand as DuracellCheck minside the batteries compartament for a broque contact
