Tyla 3,179 Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 Does anyone use a case for their receiver? The touch screen drives me nuts if I put it in my pocket, does all sorts of stuff left to its own devices! Quote Link to post
Snoz 29 Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 One of my collars won't turn on even when it's fully charged, has anyone had simpler experience , I think I've knackered it up by just banging it on charge when it's not been flat. I think it may have developed a memory now and won't charge. Any idea's!!!!!! try putting a new battery in ithttp://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/High-Quality-Battery-Cell-For-CE-UK-Stock-Garmin-DC40-2200mAh-Li-ion-/290912892313?pt=UK_CE_GPS_Accessories_Software_ET&hash=item43bbc27599 Eone of mine always says it needs charging i think it is a hardware problem, but the battery is easy to change just make sure you put the seals back carefully. Nice one I'll have a go at that ,there to expensive to bin. Cheers Quote Link to post

Tyla 3,179 Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 I have but it still does the same, just needs a cover over the screen like a phone but no one seems to sell them. Maybe a Blue Peter moment coming up! Quote Link to post

Maybe a Blue Peter moment coming up! you can lock the screen on any page you want ,i just keep on compass page and lock screen on that ,so if i need just rough idea where they are i can quickly look anything else just unlock it ,press the on/off bottom once(don't hold in as it will turn off Alpha) and a padlock comes up on screen ,press to lock and reverse to unlock 1 Quote Link to post

Yes they can be used on a terrier that hunts away ,they will tell you they are in ground but wont be as good as a terrier loc to dig on to , as they wont be as accurate as i think your talking with getting within 20ft with them 1 Quote Link to post
