stoaty1 35 Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 Hello there. Was hoping someone can explain to me why my mk 3 locator is doing something. Instead of the normal single repeating beep noise you normally get my locator is now making a series of connected beeps and the lights on the dial are showing a series of three in succession. The noise starts off with a low pitch and then gets higher as the lights quickly move across the display but the collar isn't moving any closer. Anyone know what this is about please? regards Ian Quote Link to post

Thanks for the input. If its the battery it came with, then change it for a decent one, the battery that came with my locator brand new was rubbish, as soon as I changed it my locator became the wonder tool it was meant to be. try it and see Quote Link to post
Halfinch 51 Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 Yep, i'd go with Stealthy, probably the battery. Quote Link to post
stoaty1 35 Posted October 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 swapped the battery and it seems to have cured the problem, in the house at least. Will give it a thorough testing at the weekend. Thanks for the advise, saved me having to send it off and waiting for its return and more importantly not getting out for a while. regards Ian Quote Link to post
