Does anybody still have the manual for the Fox RX2 reciever for the MMXR alarms?

Had a scout on the internet but cant seem to find anything

I still have the alarms and they are still working fine. (was going to give to my boy) I have just found the RX2 receiver but it doesnt seem to want to turn on? Not sure if it is dud. Had a look inside, all wiring seems fine and no corrosion.

I have put recharchable batteries in and have it on the charger and i'm getting an intermittent flashing red light on the charger (I expect that means an issue rather than it is charging, would expect a green flashing light?)

Can anybody assist?

TIA

Yep have tried that as well. I read somewhere that earler models only worked with rechargable batteries charged through the cradle???

Should work fine with non rechargeable batteries.A common issue is the metal tabs inside the battery compartment need gently bending so the batteries are a snug fit to ensure decent connection.

And cleaning if the old batteries leaked and corroded on them.

AAA batteries - standard - are fine to use and shouldnt cause a problem.

I have a set of 4 and a spare 4 and spare receiver just in case any pack up

The best alarms for a long long time

I love these alarms and have found the same issue. Not all batteries are exactly the same length. Soma are a tighter/ better fit than others.

I have the same issue the metal tabs inside needed bending out a little so they made a better connection with the batteries

you could also put some silver foil in there to pack out the terminal rather than bend the tabs, they are pretty flimsy, and will break eventually.. New ones are relatively cheap though but a pain to fit

I have these, my receiver was working with normal batteries, but is now broke too...

With regards your original post, if you do want the manuals they are all still available to download or view on the Fox website (helped me out on a few occasions while on the bank that has!)
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
