Anyone else having issues?
Had to replace mine a couple of times even tho it wasn't switched on due to not going for a number of reasons. Only replaced last set about 6 weeks ago?

Do the lights flash when you turn it off and on?

Check your batteries are good when new and remove them if not using the alarms/receiver for a while.

Do you switch off the bivvy light function during the daytime, and have the vibrate on unnecessarily? Or have it up louder than it needs to be? All will contribute to premature battery drain.

Yep. Never use the vibrate function. The problem is when the receiver is switched off and not being used. It has been in a pocket with some lights which have magnetic fixings. Beginning to wonder if its the magnetic fields causing the battery drain?
