Hi All, I have some of the above but can't seem to change the LED colour on all 3 of them. I push and hold the function button, turn the tone button to the desired colour and release the button but 2 seconds later the alarms LED flash quite a few times and goes back to purple?

Any ideas?

All sorted.....

When you release the button I then pushed it in 2-3 times quickly and it set the colours just fine.......

Anyone know what the battery life is like for the alarms and the receiver?

Shouldn't make any difference the electronics are potted in Epoxy resin.

I bought some Ace alarms from France several years ago when they were on offer. Loved all the features etc but they kept failing to sound when I had a run. They would work 90% of the time and then fail for short periods. They went back to Felindre (Shimano) on three occasions and in the end even they admitted defeat so I got my money back from France. Real shame because I really liked them!

Bought My i3 alarms off Max Cottis at Rainbow a long time ago now along with a mate of mine who knew him very well they were straight out the back of his 4x4, my mate had nothing but trouble with his, several head replacements that would lose pairing and not reconnect, receiver replacements as they would just die on the spot several niggley faults with them but always repaired or replaced, mine were faultless and I paid Max trade which from memory was under 400 quid for 4 heads and a receiver, sold mine to a Dutch collector mate he has all sorts of alarms reels etc..they sit in a glass cabinet these days not even getting used.
Are you sure?
