I had the same problem with one of my rx+
I sent it to dalelectroncs
The on off switch has gone apparently its a common fault on those alarms
Eventually it won't switch on get it sent away asap

Any warranty left on those alarms?
If so, I would take them back to the shop...

Brought 2nd hand
It's not a major problem now dalelectonics are only a few miles from me they can fix it for £40.

they do seem to have a few issues these alarms. I've had a few minor issues with mine but Dale has fixed them now, so far so good now. also had some sets replaced for a few reasons but I love the alarms so persevering with them. and the fact that there is a dedicated repairer now is great and he has all the spares or can source them easily.

I bought a presentation set of 3+1. Ive had 4 replacement alarms in the last 19 months under warranty. Same faults wouldnt switch on. They seem quite fragile
With this switch issue. It seems most sets dont have a problem but i know of 2 other anglers on my 40 man syndi had same issue.
I will be using daletronics when the 2 year warranty is up. Ive also had to buy one spare alarm to cover me if another breaks.

So the swingers don't mimic what the alarm colour is set to?

the switch issue, I've still got that to look forward to. I've had every other known ones I think LOL. To be honest for a premium alarm, they should not be having this many issues. Functionality wise ease of use they are brilliant which is why I'm sticking with them, touch wood that's the end of the troubles.. was it bradders on here that mentioned a new version coming out of these at some point? featuring vibration

I've had my RX + since they first came out.

Had them out in all weathers with absolutely no issues at all.
