RF Wireless remotes not functionanal prd-1095

Post by brianb00 »

INVOICE NO. 739838
PRD-1095 Wireless Remotes.

I recently ordered 5 remotes as well as receiver PRD 1096. THe remotes, 3 of 5, do not work. The RED led does not flash when the button is pushed. Most likely the batteries have arrived dead. I would like to exchange them for known working units.

Regards,

The keyfobs are designed to be easy to open so you can check/replace the batteries, so go ahead and check them.

If that's the case, you'll be able to buy CR2016s faster than we'd be able to process a return and replacement, and we can give you store credit for the cost of the new batteries.

If the batteries are good, there may be something else wrong with the keyfobs, and we'll need to process that as a straight replacement.

Hi,

This is a good solution. All the units in question have dead batteries. I wonder if your storage method is somehow putting pressure on the remotes such that some of them are turned on continuously ?

I have ordered batteries through Amazon.com at a rate of $6.16 per pack of 10, enough for 5 remote fobs. Please let me know how to apply this for store credit.

Regards,

Brian
