Has anyone solved the arm breakage problem?

The new version is stronger, but has different foam ear tips, my wife likes them and they haven't broken like our first two pair. I rewired my original ones with a mini plug, and use them with ear buds.

Yes, go to Radio Shack. They have an earphone headset which in my opinion is far superior to TV ears. It is wireless and the headset sits on top of your head just like the radio engineers wear. It has volume control, and has replaceable/rechargeable batteries. I had three sets of TV ears and they either broke or the battery would only last for an hour before I had to place them on the charger. No such problems with the Radio Shack headset.

The contacts on the remote switch are not making connection. That is a 5 minute or less job to replace the switch. There is a video showing the simple process if you will google it. Just take a screwdriver & stick down in behind the arm rest & work it a little & it will come off. No screws. There are a couple of catches you have to release with a screwdriver & the switch pops out. Plug in the new one & replace the arm rest piece. It was so easy. Hope this helps.

Sorry, but I have not taken it out of the box. I fell and have ulnar nerve damage in both arms. My first operation is this Wednesday.

Avoid. My eighty pound son and his friends tore the arms off with a little ruff housing. Hope this helps.:)

Yes, mine broke off too after a short time. I was told there was no way to fix it, and that no one else ever has that problem.

The arms are moveable. just grab them and force them apart. If not then, lossen the nut in the plate holding the arm, this will allow it to move.

Mine broke during this particular exercise. It hurt LOL. I bought the 4 pack from home complete afterwards and haven't had an issue yet.

I agree with Dessiree. The arm broke off on hours one day after the return date. But if you still want to order then Click on the company that is selling it, then click on the company name, contact us,and then call customer service.

Thanks for your post - I just tried it now and it works! I had always thought it would break if I force it up because it seemed to be really stuck. But since you described how to do it I was more confident, and it now works! thanks again

I have not, but I think you may be disappointed with your results. My experiences continues to be that this devices is most accurate and reliable when your forearm is held in a position that keeps it parallel to the ground as when you are running or fast walking. When the forearm is held in another position its performance is highly suspect. I was sent a firmware upgrade in May of this year that helped a little but it still isn't ready for prime time in my opinion.

No, of course not, In my own situation the arm of the chairs. "I bought six chairs". First they got loosened maybe because the weught of my arm, so I took my tool and screw it a lot of times, and after that a few weeks later , they broke. So I sended to a Carpinter to repair them. So....

Hey Donna; I had trouble putting one of the bolts through one of the holes where the arm meets the foot pipe. I got stuck on that one part for about 30 minutes to an hour. It was like the holes were not synced when they were cut. It took some moving around and a few grey hairs later voila! I had my issue on the "L" footbar and arm bar. I had to maneuver the arm and leg every which way to get it to fit. Eventually it ended up going in; could not tell you what I did to force it to fit. It was like little effort did it over my weak force! I hope you ae able to get it to work. I am on the elliptical as I write this and it is an amazing pice of equipment.

there is no trick. i have to tighten the arms at least once a month which is bothersome.

Yes, just unscrew it or don't attach it in the first place. This can be purchased without the arm part.
