Replaced the battery but the timer no longer sounds. How can I fix it?

Probably not fixable. Dropped my first one & lost the sound. Delicate mechanism may be the reason. Still a good buy.

Make sure battery is correct number and connects. I had to put heavy tape over cover to hold it in place. Battery cover very flimsy and can come loose.

Maybe the battery is "old" without much power OR make sure you didn't put the battery in upside down. Check the numbers on the battery to make sure you bought the right one. When you press START, make sure the : is blinking

I bought this for my critically ill sister and she loved it for about two days. Then it stopped working. We changed the battery but that didn't work. Good idea but very poor quality. Cannot recommend this item to anybody.

Make sure the timer is hooked up 120V ON ONE LEG AND THE GROUND/NEUTRAL ON THE OTHER you should be able to hear and feel the timer (clock) running if it's not you may have a bad timer.

I had this problem after replacing my 5-year-old (dead) battery a while back. First, I checked the wheels to see if they turned easily and found them a little sticky so I cranked them back and forth a few times; then I pushed the "day" and "minute" buttons above the center to reset, and voila! Works like a charm.

Just unscrew the phillips screw located on cover of the machine,pull battery out disconnect positive and negative dispose of battery correctly,insert new battery hook positive and negative up slide in and screw cover back on

Send it back, if its working at all means you wired it right. Probably has a bad timer motor.

There is two things that I noticed that control the sound. Answering the yes/no prompt when setting the timer, and the black volume control on the side of the base. Maybe this will help.

Same here. You can remove the old battery and reinsert it to reset the internal counter. The battery should last for at least three cycles

This happened to me also. I noticed that the little tabs that determine when the timer goes on were bumped and not fully in or out. I set them correctly, either in or all the way out, and it's been working correctly since. I hope this helps you.

I have had the same problem with the timers going out I replaced mine with a timer that I purchased at Menards or Walmart or your local hardware store, just make sure the are the same size approx.

I know this is a few months old, but just thought I'd pitch in, since I've ran into the same thing on two different FireX detectors (I think it can happen to several brands though). Even after replacing the battery, the alarm code can get stuck and the unit has to be reset. Remove the batteries, unplug from electric. Hold down the Test/Reset button for 15-20 seconds. Plug it back in, but the battery back in and the unit should beep once to say it's been reset and the chirping should stop. I'm getting ready to replace mine because we go through this about once every 3 months.

If I remember right, you had to open the battery door thingy and there was a piece of plastic that you needed to pull out. I could be wrong though. Otherwise maybe try pressing the reset button? Just an idea.

Take battery door off, there is a small knob in there. Use a small screwdriver. The seconds are not marked off. Just have to estimate.

Try replacing the batteries. If that doesn't work, I have no other suggestions.

I have not had this problem. Check the settings for the minute timer. Try unpairing it and repairing it. You can also do a restore on the Bluetooth. If none of this resolves the problem, you will need to exchange it.

Excellent question! I had to pry open the unit to find out. My recollection is that the timer arrived with a small plastic tab. I must have pulled the tab to activate the battery. The battery is well sealed, with a VERY tight fitting cover, held in place by a small Phillips screw. I will add a Dymo label on the back, for when it becomes time to replace the battery.

I have no idea. My problem was different. Once the battery was in, the countdown timer option kicked in and could never be turned off. Sent it back to Amazon. This model is different from an earlier model, both of which worked fine. This later problematic model also has a beeper which is also silent. Like, why did I buy this thing?

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