Questions and answers
Hi there, 6 weeks into a 12 week program and the battery symbol has started flashing - does it need replacing. Kind regards
The flashing battery symbol suggests the battery may need replacing, as the unit's expected average battery life for a standard 800 mAh alkaline battery is 19 hours. If the device has been used extensively over 6 weeks, it is likely time to replace the battery.
