Is there an indicator light to let you know if the battery is dying? Otherwise, if the battery is dead, no sound is recorded, correct?

It doesn't utilize a battery, it uses power from your camera. You do control whether your mic is on or off (if it's off, you'll record from the camera mic), and the direction the sound capturing takes.

There is no indicator. I use rechargeable batteries and film for several days at a time and haven't had any battery issues. No sound if they go out. I would like to say that these mics don't do well in high humidity if you are using them outside. Indoors they do well.

It has no indicator light; when the battery dies you would not know. You would not know if it's on or off either unless you look at the position of the switch.

hey Jeff, It loses all of everything u recorded if batteries die while recording! Recommend you purchase the a.c. power adapter to alleviate this issue. Harley

When the battery is low you will get an audible alert that says "battery low" when you switch it on or push the button down. The light will also be red/orange when turned on when the battery is low

There is no low battery indicator. Just keep extra batteries and put them in when the sound is distorted or stops.

Mine does not have an indicator, I charge through the camera and a wall plug or through the computer. When it is fully charged the indicator on the camera turns off. My camera is a Sony similar to yours. I had to slide paper between the battery and camera body to stiffen the fit. The slight shaking of the battery really messes the camera performance. My battery did not look like the one in the ad. The camera worked a lot better with a larger battery.

It turns on video and audio on the camera which detects sound. You can adjust the volume at which it triggers the activation. Very handy if you have a white noise machine in the room. I don't think the camera alerts you if it's low on battery. It has a battery indicator in th corner showing remaining batter life. When it runs out it turns off

The indicator light seems to have a slight delay when all connected. It does not light when put into the power outlet alone. Be sure it is securely plugged into the cord that goes to the battery. Make sure that the cord is well connected to the battery as that connection is sometimes "stiff", but positive when it makes the connection. If, after all of this, the indicator light does not go on then suspect the charger or the battery. I would bet on the battery as there is not much to wear out on the charger. I had to buy them in this order when we were given our powerwheel. It has worked well for several months since then.

Recharge it before it goes dead. It has an led light indicator where you can check the battery charge.

Hi Ann there isn't a low battery indicator. I have mine set to feed 3 times a day and so far batteries have lasted 3 weeks.

There is not an indicator on the light itself letting you know it is losing charge. Only the light dimming

If the battery is completely empty, it may need a few minutes to get enough of a charge to start recording. It does, however, record normally when hooked up for charging.

be sure it is not in silent mode. That is on first menu page at bottom left. Then the light menu should show up in the record settings menu

Mine appears to already be fully charged, so I can't tell yet. I'd have to run it down a while, I guess. Does yours not record anymore? I'm also not sure how it indicates when it is in the charging mode. If I learn more I'll get back to you.

No low battery indicator. If you cover the unit in your hand you can muffle the sound and remove the pin to test it once a week. I got this for my daughter and its cool to hook on a purse, jacket zipper or a belt loop. No fumbling to push a button, just pull and it goes pretty loud.

It does have a green light on the side that flashes when recording. I covered mine with electrical tape. As for the noises, no I have never heard it make any noises when the battery is low.
